We definitely had freezing fog this morning in Knoxville. My dogs were slipping and sliding on my deck when I let them out this morning.

RGEM same as 18z.....cold rain for most everyone.

Yeah....the "snow depth" map shows Knoxville at 2 inches, but this map is more fun to look at.

NAM will do...

I feel like Knoxville has greater than a 1% chance to receive 1" of snow......it might be closer to 10%, but 1% seems awfully low.

I'm never confident in East TN until I see snow coming down out of my windows...

Temp definitely dropped. I went from 49 to 39 in about an hour and half. Looks like it has stabilized in the upper 30s now.

Happy Hour coming in with a gross ice storm around the 1st-2nd.

I ended up with a solid dusting. I felt like it snowed for 6-8 hours, but most of it just melted on impact. I never got below 32 until after 2am when most of the moisture let up. I was hoping for a dusting here in KNX, so I'll chalk it up to a win and congrats to everyone else who scored in the mountains!

Been under a decent band for the past 15 minutes or so here in Karns. Temp went from 36 to 33 and grassy areas and roofs are now mostly white with a good dusting.

Looks like MRX issued a SWS for most of East TN. Probably needed to issue something just incase it over performs in the valley areas. ecial Weather Statement National Weather Service Morristown TN 1027 AM EST Fri Jan 13 2023 TNZ036-037-067>069-071-073-086-140000- Anderson-Union-Roane-Loudon-Knox-Northwest Blount-North Sevier- Northwest Monroe- Including the cities of Oak Ridge, Clinton, Maynardville, Norris Lake, Paulette, Rose Hill, Sharps Chapel, Luttrell, Harriman, Eagle Furnace, Rockwood, Bradbury, Fairview, Kingston, Oliver Springs, Lenoir City, Loudon, Bearden, Knoxville, Lake Forest, Happy Valley, Maryville, Alcoa, Harrisburg, Kodak, McMahan, Sevierville, Seymour, Pigeon Forge, Sweetwater, Madisonville, and Bullet Creek 1027 AM EST Fri Jan 13 2023 ...Light Snow Showers Expected This Afternoon and Tonight... Snow showers will increase in coverage today and continue through the evening. Snow will taper off to flurries later tonight. Light snowfall accumulations of around a dusting are expected at most locations. Locally higher amounts up to 1 inch are possible for places affected by the most persistent snow shower bands. If traveling, slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination. Use caution, especially on secondary and back roads across the higher terrain.

I hope Hamlin will recover! I was at the Cincy-Bills game as a Bills fan. It was a great atmosphere....until it wasn't. Cincy fans were top notch and there was nothing but respect. I think we all knew that the game wasn't going to go on after the ambulance left the field, just from the players reactions, but almost everyone stayed until about 10 minutes before they "officially" announced the game wasn't going to continue. If they reschedule the game, I'm not sure if I can go back, but I believe the Bills play at Cincy next year if they win the division so I'll try and go back next year. I've been to a Titans & Panthers home game and Cincy pre-game was 10x better than any of those games. I'm also a Georgia fan, so this past weekend was an extremely stressful weekend sports wise.

Where the sun is shining, none is left. My deck still has a good inch left since it doesn't see the sun this time of the year.

Wound up with 1.25 here. Funny that we had more on the roads than the 8" we received back in the March storm.

Same near Karns

So far my official low was 3 and my daytime high was about 9 here in Knoxville. While I didn't get any snow, the cold is impressive! I'm not sure last time Knoxville had a daytime high in the single digits with no snow cover on the ground, but I know it has been a long while.

Went from 42 to 34 in 10 mins. Don't think I will pick up much snow in Knoxville, but glad Nashville and plateau will have some snow from this system. Hopefully the clipper system will pan out for us in East TN.

Wife got me a new weather station for Christmas and gave it to me today so I could get it setup before the blows through. Pretty excited to see the temps plummet and whatever else may come

Yeah. I do think the plateau, and west of it, will get an inch or two. Most of us in the valley will probably get half an inch or so. The extreme temp drop will likely catch a lot of people off guard, but at least that will happen overnight while most people are in bed.

At least I got the historic cold part right in the thread name.....

CMC also had the clipper around the same timeframe

I love looking at the difference in temps on model runs with this front....whether we score with any snow or not, it is impressive

Not much change on the 18z GFS compared to the 12z.

Trends definitely not in our favor right now. GEFS also has trended to more of a cutter solution. Still a ways to go and the only thing that seems set in stone is the extreme cold temps.

Canadian doesn't have the snow, but the cold is insane. At 144 Knoxville is sitting at 55 and at 150 we are down to 14! Not to mention -10 to -15 wind chills.
