I sure hope it snows somewhere in the Tennessee Valley. A dedicated thread seven days out for tracking a cold front will be miserable. Lol no offense, Wurbus……

No offense taken....in all likelihood I jumped the gun creating the thread since it usually doesn't pan out for us the closer we get to a potential event. I just have that feeling about this one though and if it doesn't pan out, I will never create a thread again for cursing the storm.

ECMWF pretty consistent on the cold after the front blows through. Temps crash and we stay below freezing for at least 3-4 days.

You're a brave poster Wurbus. 

Might by the last thread I ever create lol.

I created a thread for the cold and potential snow for this event. Hopefully it will all pan out and we all get clobbered, but the cold looks legit across all models regardless if the snow comes or not.

First time creating a thread and hoping for a Christmas Miracle! Models have been consistent on a huge cold shot coming in around the 23rd. Like always, the question is if we get any snow with this cold shot. GFS has shown the potentially for multiple rounds of snow, with an initial thumping arriving with the cold. CMC has the cold, but the system isn't amped up and we have some snow showers in the area. Euro has shown the system on the 23rd, but currently is cold and dry as of 00z 12/16. Regardless if any snow pans out, the cold looks to be real and potentially record breaking. Highs in the teens will be common from the 24th-26th with single digit (and sub-zero lows with snow pack). Below is the eye candy from the 12z GFS.

Eye candy as Carver mentioned.

Canadian took a step in the right direction as well. Not as amped up as GFS, but better than 12z. Round 2 just showed up for the Carolina's on the GFS.....

00z GFS still on board!

That was one cold GFS run. East TN below freezing from the 23rd-29th if that verifies.

I'm supposed to be going to the Bills-Bengals Monday Night Football game on Jan 2nd in Cincinnati. I expected it to be cold, but hopefully this type of cold will relax a bit by then.

That was a cold 12z GFS run. Looks like we may skip Spring and go straight to Summer at this rate.

MRX writeup for this event. I wound up with right around 8 inches at my house. What a way to close out winter!

Always amazes me how quickly the snow will melt in the March sun. 

I ended up with about 8 inches. Snow already mostly melted off the roads around here though.

Going to get a little sleep. I measured right at 7 inches near Karns and it is still coming down. Overall, very impressive system! Most snow I can remember having in a long while.

Probably at least 5 inches here.

Probably the largest flakes so far in this band in Knoxville I've seen all night. 

I've got 4 inches on my deck. Still coming down pretty good. Might wind up with 6-8 if I get another 2-3 hours of this

More thunder and lightning in Knoxville

Probably have close to an inch and it is just puking fine snow.

Goodness it’s coming down. It looks like lake effect snow

Yeah. I'm just watching the wind swirl from all different directions. Deck is already white in just 5 minutes

The puddles will save you

Just heard thunder and completely snow now.

Snow starting to mix in here. I live in between Cedar Bluff and Karns
