  1. All Models were too high on forecasted lows and highs in snow covered areas. Snow cover will play a part.
  2. From what I can see, it's the only model with that extensive area of icing. The 0Z high res. Fv 3 has predominately snow in SEKY/SWVA. The 0Z 3k Nam as well. Fwiw, it may be right but, I've found the Hrrr has a bit of a warm bias in upper east TN and SWVA.
  3. If you're right, going to be some missed or quickly changing forecasts.
  4. Yeah, it definitely proved itself itr the last few Winters. Pretty much spot on in most cases.
  5. I'm expecting to get near zero again tonight, I know they are expecting SW winds to advect warm air, but SW of me for about 200 miles is snow pack all the way to Huntsville Alabama. I'm sure that distance of snow pack will have an impact on the temperature here all the way to Knox County and beyond. Exactly what I'm thinking.
  6.

The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches.
  7. Just read wwa for Swva and tenn mountains. Saying up to 4 inches of snow and a glaze of ice. That's Winter Storm Criteria actually. If I were the forecaster there now, I'd go with a Winter Storm Watch and a WWA.
  8. Made it to 20 here so far . Got a report from Northern Lee County on the Wise Plateau that Keokee had received just under a foot from this System.
  9. Yeah, I suspect they'll beef back up if System doesn't trend further north.
  10. Big difference in Temps in east Tn in relation to snowpack. Check out the difference in lows in the Johnson City area compared to Knoxville.
  11. Yeah, definitely feeding off each other( PDO, MJO etc). If we can get some strong convection fire near the Dateline it could negate the MJO warm phases somewhat. Problem is, the domino effect of pressure from the dominant MJO is probably hampering convection development along Dateline. If we could get the MJO to the Dateline with little convection in the IO , that may reverse the pattern of that. Seems PDO has became closer to neutral last I checked so, may have a decent shot. If so, there is a possibility of a monster Snowstorm ( Maybe historical)for the area somewhere from mid February to mid March I believe, particularly if the SSW does it's thing with the NAO.
  12. Still thinking mainly frozen NE sections as enough mixing and lifting of deep Valley cold should drop incoming SW WAA to below freezing all levels from about Rogersville to Kingsport North. Probably mix from there south through Knoxville. With all the snow pack to our wsw it is possible the snow line could be further south as the cold lower air will lift as it is pulled ne by the System. Then there's a backlash that may get at least northern sections. Just my antique 2 cents.
  13. Yeah, MJO looks strong in warm phases. Those heated waters out there just continue every year now. Really don't know the exact cause. Could be underwater Volcanic activity. Some speculate a byproduct of Climate change. Whatever the reason, it is what it is and it continues to lean Eastern US Winters on the overall mild side.
  14. Currently 3 here and cloudy with a few flurries .
  15. Totalled 7.2" with this one . All snow. High yesterday was 28.5. Low this Morning was 13. Currently 17. Got official measured reports of 8 inches near Pennington gap and 7 in Dryden, eastern Lee County.
  16. If they're seeing a strong push of mild air ahead of the System that's why. However, the entrenched lower level cold should spell sleet/freezing rain with still snow northeastern sections (upper valley) as cold from the valley lifts and mixes with the waa ahead of the system.
  17. Agree. I looked over alot of the goings on last night and if right, we're probably looking at maybe 60's as early as next week. If that big SER materializes and we're stuck in the MJO warm phases .. ugh. The SSW is probably needed this go around for sure. Hopefully, guidance is off on the MJO.
