The southern half of CC appears to be doing better than the northern half. So hopefully Runman is doing well. There are areas just north of me that have nothing.

I just got my internet working again. I got about 2 inches. It was a letdown when you consider what we could have potentially had, but I'm happy to get at least that much to start out the winter.

Up to 37 now as temps are torching at every level. Hopefully this is the last push of warmth from the system. It looks like Crossville may be falling and they had "precipitation" rather than rain last I saw. 

John, is it still just rain at your place? I'm still seeing a mix of sleet and rain IMBY.

Starting to sleet heavily with the rain near La Follette now.

It's just been rain, rain, and more rain near La Follette. If I could just see some flakes, I'll be ecstatic at this point.

Well, at least MRX finally acknowledged the Plateau. Still didnt extend the watch to our neck of the woods, John. Definitely some encouraging trends this afternoon in the models.

The 18z NAM.....

I always feel like MRX ignores its Northern Plateau counties unless it absolutely has to mention them. That's several discos in a row where we aren't mentioned at all even though around 115,000 people live here. 

I was getting ready to come on here and mention this. I thought it was strange that the northern plateau isnt getting any discussion. It's hard to tell if they are grouping the Plateau with the lower elevations or the higher elevations group.

No kidding. Just casually drops 32 inches in my backyard. Just preserve these clowns, we'll never see their like again.

John, we might be digging to get out of our house if that came to pass, lol.

If the deep south gets another mega snow event while we get nothing like the Euro spit out, I'm moving to Hawaii and abandoning snow. 

If the snow misses us after I moved to the plateau, I must be cursed, lol.

We go from a good weekend of Tennessee sports to a bad one so far.

Seeing all of this rain and cold is giving me the snow blues, lol.

Excited for Tennessee basketball this year. I just hope that the team can live up to the high expectations.

Yeah, man.  Climatology makes it tough...but hoping I can at least drive to see some in the mountains.  On another note, the Vols may have a couple of cold home games coming up.  We face UK's vaunted defense and their great rushing attack w Snell.  Really hoping that we can make a bowl game.  We need the practice.

FYI, Kansas and Tennessee are both in the NIT-tipoff on 11/21 and 11/23.  UT opens with Louisville.  Kansas opens on the other side of the four team bracket with Marquette.  If both win or both lose, they will face each other.  I hope UT gets a win over Louisville and then gets a shot at Kansas.  The biggest thing, win or lose, is getting this team big game experience against quality out-of-conference opponents.  

Runman, remind us again of what elevation that you are at...

The highest point on my property is around 1380 feet.

I'm interested in seeing just how much more snow I'll see by moving to the La Follette area. I'm so used to seeing little to no snow that 2 inches to me is a ton of snow.

Tornado Watch has been extended into parts of East TN until 10 am EST.

Per the latest update from the SPC, it looks like the threat is spreading eastward. 

Did DT take his video down? I can't play it.

A wild run with the 0z Euro to say the least....

You should definitely see an uptick in winter weather vs Knoxville, depending on the elevation you live at, a pretty decent one if it's above 1500 feet.

I'm a little bit south of downtown La Follette. My driveway starts at the top and goes down into a valley where my house is. I think the entrance to my driveway is around 1400 feet.

Good afternoon,  everyone. It's been a little while since I last posted on here. I'll be posting more as winter comes closer. I also want to give an update as far as where I live. I live near La Follette now, so any reports on current conditions I post will likely be in that area.

Tornado warning issued for Rhea and Bledsoe counties.

SPC has extended the enhanced risk to western parts of east TN.

I think they underestimated yesterday's system in regards to the Southern Valley. No watches were issued south of Loudon county and that part of TN seemed to get hit the worst.
