    mPING snow reports are popping up from Signal and Lookout mountains this morning. It’s likely above freezing even up there though. 40 degrees at 1000’ elevation in Apison.

    This road is in my area of responsibility for snow removal for TDOT. It's the first place I check during events for road conditions. We actually put forward facing dash cams in the plow assigned to that route so we can monitor remotely since there are no traffic cameras up there. I'm concerned about this area, and eastern Polk and McMinn counties. Could be a tree snapper in those areas. Also Lookout Mountain, which is around 2200'.

    January 2009. We were predicted for rain. Rain quickly changed to snow. MRX was so behind the curve on the event that they actually issued a winter storm warning for every county in the CWA except Hamilton county. Despite the fact that Hamilton county already had 3-5" on the ground and the roads. I guess for me you can also count Feb 12 2014. We started as snow, got a couple of inches, changed to rain during the day, then changed back to snow and wound up with over 10". Downtown barely got anything with that one though.

    All this warm weather has me considering a somewhat early application of pre-emergent on the yard. I just know if I do it, we will wind up with a bitterly cold March.

    High pressure over the SE coast. We had the same thing happen in 2021 when Memphis and Nashville got hammered with 2 weeks of subfreezing temps and snow/ice. It was 66 in Chattanooga during parts of that event and 14 in Memphis. This isn't quite that extreme, but there is basically zero chance of any icing in the eastern TN valley from this.

    Winds have been underwhelming thus far in the valley. We had far worse with the storm last week.

    I saw a single flake of dandruff this morning while walking the dogs. Guess I can't complain too much about that given how stark this winter has been so far.

    I drove over the Skyway from Robbinsville to Tellico Plains yesterday. Easily a foot of accumulation above 5000'. I couldn't get into any of the pulloffs without getting stuck, but the highway was clear. We descended to around 4300' and got to play in 6-8" of snow at that elevation.

    Just had a long hot tub session in the snow. I’m renting a cabin in Ellijay, GA this weekend. Wish I had sprung for Gatlinburg instead, but this is still nice. Solid dusting here.

    Low of 6 high of 10 here. That’s the lowest daytime high temp I recall in my lifetime here. The CAA was apparent and strong. When the winds died down the temp would creep up towards 10, and when it picked back up it would drop back down to 7-8.

    A few flurries here. Down to 33.
  12. dwagner88
    Down 10 degrees in the last 20 minutes but not below freezing yet.

    After holding at exactly 44.1 all day, we are creeping up to 45 as the front gets closer. I can hear the SW wind now.

    I am! I have relocated this winter to Apison east of town at a higher elevation (around 1000’). Interested to see how cold we get. I do not expect any meaningful snow. I think what does manage to fall will get blown away.

    The clown maps are showing exactly what always transpires down here in anafrontal situations, just to a more extreme extent. I’m not even confident of getting any rain here. Maybe just a few light showers then we freeze to death.
  16. dwagner88
    This is for sure the first one in Chattanooga. We’ve had a watch before (I think in 2014).

    If it happens, this will be the first time KCHA has been below zero in my lifetime. I am 34.

    Amazing how quickly we went from dry creeks and cow ponds to flooding. 6.65" of rain in the last 7 days and looks like 2-3" more in the next 4 days.

    Getting an excellent slow rain for my new sod today. Nice way to start August.

    I've had one good rainstorm all summer. One. It was last Thursday morning. I have zero confidence in any significant rain over the next week. Looks like the majority will be focused on I-40. I'm destroying my wallet watering new sod.
  21. dwagner88
    Mine is just about to go dormant. I cut it Monday of this week, and there has been zero growth since then.

    Incredible. It hasn’t rained in nearly a month here. I had enough wind to knock out my power and strip some siding off my neighbors house, but zero rainfall.
  23. dwagner88
    Lots of ill-timed thunder last night while I was supposed to be resting up for an important licensing exam this AM. That was really great.

    I’m turning 34 this year. I remember March being a very windy month in my childhood. This year is the first year that it has lived up to the expectations set by my memories. We have definitely lost all of the remaining weak trees from this area. That may bode well if we actually get a legit SVR outbreak in the next month.

    Lost power for a few minutes and had several bouts of dime sized hail. Didn’t look too bad on radar, but it really blew up right over the house.
