  1. Ironically it would save all our shrubs/landscaping if it would snow when it’s that cold. .
  2. 95-96 was almost epic for Knoxville. We had one big snow and a bunch of snow-rain-snow events. 20 miles NE of Knoxville looked like Mt Leconte for a month or so. That was so close to setting records in Knoxville. .
  3. I just told a friend who’s been begging me for snow….”you better watch what you wish for”. He said yeah whatever. I said “buddy, I’m not kidding either”. .
  4. Snows a couple times a week in the Arctic Circle. When it gets below 25 degrees here it’s too dry with the GOM 450 miles away. [emoji1745] .
  5. Thank you. Everything has went perfect, no surprises after they got in there. .
  6. Thank you. She’s so much stronger than me. Last couple of years has been rough. She had the brain tumor in 2021. It took about a year to be normal again and now this but God is good and our faith is strong. Just another bump in the road. .
  7. It’s not a big deal. I’m just now beginning to catch back up. My wife had a double mastectomy on Wednesday and we came home yesterday afternoon. So for the last several days I haven’t been able to keep up. To be honest, ever since my wife’s cancer diagnosis at the end of November I haven’t really cared much about the weather. Im ready to get back to normal life now, 33 and rain. .
  8. Anyone concerned with all of these cutters acting like a roadblock? .
  9. How is this even possible when I got 3 little snows last year in the valley? .
  10. I’ve had a lot of personal stuff going on and haven’t been able to follow much….. is the cold that’s coming keep getting pushed back a day at a time? Looks like the middle of Jan we could be in business? .
  11. I could really get excited about this if that low popped further south .
  12. I agree. I’ve felt like he’s a guy who plays football but doesn’t love football. One of my best friends is the parental guardian for Tyre West #42. He had an awesome game today. I can tell you the team was very excited for Nico to play today. Our OL needs some help though. Was missing 3 started but still not good. .
  13. Talking about the snow records…. I’m not sure this helps or not but a few years ago we had a minor snow event, 2-5” across the valley. The official accumulation for Knoxville that day was around one inch. MRX the next day released a statement explaining the reason for that. They said they check for snow amounts twice a day, AM/PM. It started snowing after the morning opps and they checked again at 5pm where they recorded 1 inch. They actually acknowledged that earlier in the day there was 3+ inches on the ground but it had melted down to one inch when they checked it. I still call BS on this. I’ve never heard them say that they check for snow twice a day. They do not do that for rain or the temps. That particular system, MRX was calling for .5-1” for Knoxville. During the height of the storm, we had almost 4” and traffic was a disaster. Felt like to me that MRX was padding their accuracy percentage. [emoji1745] .
  14. Weather is a lot like Tennessee athletics. Just when you feel like you are headed in the right direction, you end up with 33 and rain. .
  15. At least the mods are showing mostly rain for the valley. It would be a lot worse if the R/S line was on 40 like it usually is. I’m sure this will be all over the place, Euro will likely completely lose the storm for 12 hours and then bring it back. .
  16. Flashback… https://x.com/weathernut27/status/1741578524610207901?s=46&t=LVg8BRWCh1zZb6F_t95EVg .
  17. Wish I could remember the year. It’s been in the last 6 or 7 years but we had a very interesting system that came through ETn. The forecast for my area was snow to rain and backend snow. NWS thought a couple of inches up front before the changeover. For some crazy reason the valley had CAD north of 40. At my house 30 min north of Knoxville, the temp never broke 30 degrees and it stayed snow 95% of the event. I ended up with 8+ inches but Knoxville got only an inch and it switched to rain pretty quick. I remember my temp was in the upper 20’s and I was watching opps in the foothills and mountains waiting on WAA. I remember Gatlinburg was in the mid 40’s. One of the craziest storms I could remember. .
  18. The best thing we have going for us in the valley is it’s very unlikely that this is the right path. It will either get better or it won’t. It’s mostly rain as of now so it can’t get worse. .
  19. Is it me or does it seem like the wave west of here is rotating more east than the mods suggested? Also… moderate sleet shower moving through Halls. .
