    I strongly suspect that we will see a confirmed weak tornado in southern Hamilton, Bradley and Polk counties from the squall line this AM. It developed a wicked inflow notch right after it crossed I-75. There is a line of heavier tree damage extending from about my place in Apison all the way to the Cherokee National Forest.

    HTX radar is pretty terrifying. Gonna be a long night here. The air has “the feel”.

    Pretty fascinating that coastal CA has had more warnings than OHX.

    Horrible winter here. Less than an inch of sleet was my seasonal total. I missed a 6" snow event by about 20 miles.

    60 and sunny in Chattanooga, 32 and snowing in Wise. That’s a long ways from here but still a huge difference in temperature.

    I’m still skeptical. It was supposed to rain all day yesterday and all night last night. So far just a trace here.

    Very odd movement of precipitation from SE to NW today. That's pretty rare.

    I got nailed in that one. Over 10" of wet concrete. Even the airport got about 8". Downtown got less due to mixing.

    MRX messed up their event report for this. Officially KCHA got 1.7". MRX's report states that this is the most January snowfall for KCHA since 1996. They seem to have forgotten about the January 2011 snowstorm that brought nearly 8" to KCHA overnight. 1.7" being the largest event in 28 years is really sad. Even for here.

    I haven't run outside since before Christmas. I've done almost 100 miles on a treadmill since then. I'm finally going to fix that this weekend.

    The WAA is shocking. Started out at 11.8 degrees this morning. Already pushing 40 in just a few hours.
  12. dwagner88
    Strangely, my low temp last night was identical to my coldest temp in the arctic blast last year after Christmas. 5.4 degrees. Maybe that's the limit without snow cover around here.

    We don't use it very often because it is both extremely expensive and extremely corrosive.

    The calcium is good to around zero. That's what we've been using up there all day. Salt and brine are already worthless at current temps. We are trying to get a lane cleared in each direction before the sun goes down.
  15. dwagner88
    I'm working on it. Just sent a grader and two trucks with liquid calcium chloride up there.

    Just went on a long drive out to the Rhea/Roane county line. Spring City might get a foot. They had over 6" when I left and it was snowing about as hard as I have ever seen. I parked my truck for 20 minutes and got just under 2" on the mirrors and the toolbox.

    Right next to Apison elementary. It’s actually picked back up now. I would call it moderate. Maybe the column has cooled enough to get rid of some of the sleet.
  18. dwagner88
    I think the transition is in between you and me. I had nice flakes 20 minutes ago, now mostly sleet again. Shame too. The radar actually looks amazing.

    I actually don’t think Chattanooga is going to get screwed. The entire area except eastern Polk has wetbulbed below freezing. There appears to be no mechanism to allow for warming today with precipitation falling, solid cloud cover, and continued push south of Arctic air. We are going to get frozen precipitation, the only question is what form does it take? I hope for more snow, but with the first wave it started as light snow and finished as sleet. Currently it’s 30 degrees with a DP of 27 IMBY. There is a light accumulation of sleet on elevated surfaces. No precip right now.
  20. dwagner88
    Definitely. I’m at 32.2 now but we have a warm nose problem. I started all snow and now I’m 100% sleet.
  21. dwagner88
    Down to 33 here. Very light snow continues. DP is 28. All systems go as long as we don't get a warm nose.
  22. dwagner88
    I'm south of you and I am all snow, but it's light. Not sure what's going on there. Maybe some colder air trapped on this side of the ridges.
  23. dwagner88
    Temp 36.3 DP 28.2. That should be enough to wet bulb to 32 or lower. Just need to get some qpf now. So far no flakes on the east side of white oak mtn. Edit: Right as I posted that, we have tiny flakes. No sleet that I can hear. Appears to be all snow just extremely small flakes.
  24. dwagner88
    Temp 38 DP 30. Close but no cigar yet. Looks like in N. Alabama the sleet/snow line has pushed south a little in the last few frames. That is encouraging.
  25. dwagner88
    This tracks. I think your PWS is pretty accurate. I'm reading a temp of 40.8 (it is dropping pretty steadily now) and a DP of 31.4. The temp drop is encouraging, but the DP has basically been steady all afternoon. I'd like to see it drop down a bit. Surface wetbulb is way above freezing right now, but that doesn't mean we can't cool further.
