    Picked up 3.03" Total Rainfall from this system. Quite a soaking. Some minor flooding .

    Most times models underdo nw Flow snowfall amounts. Particularly Se, Ky and portions of Lee, Wise and Dickenson Counties in Va.. It is these areas that get first "pick" at the lake and wrap around residual moisture. I don't know if this is incorporated in the model's, If not, it should be . Not just elevation. Model's are only as good as what's programmed into or how accurate the data is going into them.

    I lived and worked in Pennington gap in Lee County at the time and remember this well. I also recorded the event in my daily weather log. My records from then were unfortunately lost during relocation. However, memory serves me quite well. Snow began in Pennington around 8:30 p.m. and quickly became heavy. By 6:30 the next morning there was 6 inches with just a few flakes falling. I worked for the city at the time and was outside throughout the day and only observed a few light flurries and can recall reports of heavy snow just to our south in Rogersville. Snow began falling moderate to heavy just after 4 p.m. and lasted untill 9 or so with an additional 4 inches falling for a total of 10". The morning low there the 5th was -21 with the official afternoon high of 4 below. This was recorded at the radio station there as well as my home in Pennington gap. A report of -30 (via, WCYB) from the Rose hill area in western Lee County. The Jan 21 1985 outbreak was about the same with -24 Low, -4 High with snow depth of 7".

    He was talking about the advertised +AO.

    Hm replied to my tweet regarding this and said he expected this to happen but, it should be short lived.

    Radiance, first off, kudos on the work u put into this. Good stuff ! The biggest difference this winter compared to last I believe is going to be blocking. Enough of it and you can have cold cover much of the U.S., coast to coast, including the upper Southeast even with a -PNA. Ala., 1978-79. Of course on back, the '60's featured this fairly consistent. Blocking was so strong it congested the flow to create a +PNA at times with a -PDO background . Of course, as so many make a point of, we are in a warmer Climate era now so, things are different now. Yes, this is true but, a watered down version to the pattern those years is still possible. Also, we are in a decent Solar Minimum now and let's not forget the descending QBO.

    Hm is all in end of Month. He is really touting the Aleutian L.p. pattern setup..via his tweets.
  9. Daniel Boone
    Verbatim, that has snow threats written all over it, depending on how much cold is available of course.

    Last checked, Kmrx hadn't put out anything on it. Models all underforecasted amounts for Lee County. The Euro came closest.

    The Nov. 1950 storm was a monster ! Great writeups and pics can be found online. My County received 1 to 3 feet with much higher drifts. The official reporting station in Pennington gap (ele. 1400 ft) recorded 17". A relative of mine was in for Thanksgiving from Dayton Ohio and said his Car looked like a hump, completed covered when he went out to get ready to head back to Dayton. The Weirton Museum online has alot of pics from that part of WV in their site. 4 feet there. Most reported was in southern WV where 5 feet was reported !

    Pic from this morning of the 3.5 to 4 inch snowfall here.
  13. Daniel Boone
    I'm in a rather elevated area at 1729 ft.
  14. Daniel Boone
    Measured 3.5 to 4 inches here Lee Co. in far SW Va..
  15. Daniel Boone

    Showers started here about an hour ago.

    I remember years past, mainly 70's and 80s of this occurring with arctic frontal passages. Several inches would fall , even in the lower elevations.

    26 here this morning with heavy frost.

    Nothing to the snow in October, winter over thing. Several October's featured snow here and the Winter was cold/snowy. Of course, most of us know this. However, there are those that really believe that "rule". Lol.
  20. Daniel Boone
    Received a light dusting of snow on vehicles here last night.
  21. Daniel Boone
    Yeah, kmrx was wrong on the heaviest axis 2day as it has setup through seky/swva. .93 here as of 2:30 pm...some areas along the border already at 1.5+ inches 2day alone.
  22. Daniel Boone
    The MJO has been and may still be the thorn in our side as it's now projected to go back into warm phases. Hopefully HL blocking will kick in and Trump or mitigate it's effects.
  23. Daniel Boone
    That is more than likely way underdone !

    Winter 95-96 Wise, Virginia set state seasonal snow record , 123.4 inches! recorded 52 inches at my local. That feb. storm was followed by record cold. Pennington gap recorded low of -21 the 4th with a high of -4 !
