    Yep, it died quickly. Not sure if you are in a spot to get NW flow snow or not but if you are, hopefully you can get some

    Spot on, I usually don't do well with those, Everything usually goes north and east. Maybe just maybe on the next system, we'll have a more favorable track.

    Unfortunately it looks like the commahead is on the fast track to dying out on the radar. It could partly be moving into poor radar coverage but I think mostly it's lost support from the parent low. The NW flow may kick in for a while and bring enough snow showers here to cover things.

    Yeah it was close, but same end result. Just north and east of me with pick up some accumulation. Shame on me for thinking it would be any different this time LUL. I am getting some of those snow showers that you mentioned that aren't showing up on radar.

    FROM: JKL
    
    A quick glance at the 12z ECMWF shows a harsh dive into bitter
    winter conditions for next week - as well as significant snow for
    a good portion of the CWA Thursday and over next weekend. Should
    this solution pan out this could turn out to be one of the
    harshest and snowiest mid winter pattern for eastern Kentucky on
    record.

    great find, don't see that from jkl often...

    Regionally in February 1998 Jackson Kentucky had a 12 inch snow depth with 18.6 inches falling on around 2 inches of liquid. Somerset Kentucky had a 14 inch snow depth, no report on what fell with around 2.1 inches of liquid. I had a 17 inch snow depth with 2.5 inches of liquid.  West of me there were 20 inch depths in Scott Co and Fentress Co.  Crossville had a 10 inch depth with 13 inches falling on around 2.5 inches of liquid but there was some rain in Crossville.  Allardt had a 17 inch snow depth with 2.7 inches of liquid. Jamestown had a 20 inch snow depth on 2.4 inches of liquid.  Cookeville is listed with 3 inches of liquid but no snow depth. Though that is likely missing data as we have eye witness reports of 12+ inches there. Elevations above 3000 feet in my area had 30+ inches.

    More snow volume fell in this storm than any other in my lifetime. But it was much wetter than the blizzard so the depth wasn't as great. Widespread power outages. So odd that there were two monsters like that in East Tennessee in a short period. My cousin was about to graduate from ETSU during the first event there, I was pretty jealous of the snowfall he experienced, not knowing I'd get the same soon after.

    Friend of mine in Corbin has lengthy vhs of all those 90's storms. At the time I had no idea how rare those storms would be.
