Right now any reference to the possibility of winter wx is for the Jan.10 onward in this forum. There is a separate thread for the Jan.5-6 storm that will mainly be rain for most in the state of TN. Maybe some ice at the onset.

Welllllllll. Let’s reel this one in & keep the HOT sing on! The barking just got louder.

The HOT sign is back on! Kinda like the Krispy Kreme sign when the donuts are fresh! The HOT sign stands for the snow is coming in HOT!

Stinks when the thread is not Hot.

The models always don’t show the NW precip shield well. Plus a system like that will gain in latitude.

It’s looking as if the temps are moderating. Now only a couple days below freezing on my TWC app. Back into 40’s by next weekend.

Hopefully we are not cold & dry. Possible yes but crossing fingers some clippers come thru.

Yeah hard pass on that.

Heavy rains also.

We are going to have a big ole slop fest.

We need a nervous emoji or gif.

I’m thinking the CMC is going to be the outcome.

Happy hour drinks all around!

It took advantage of the buy one get second one half price.

Thank you so much for your input & dropping in to our forum. Feel free to drop in any time!

Also appears the Euro is back to its bias of holding energy back in the SW.

I don’t think we will know the answer till Thursday late or Friday. The CMC is the middle ground which might end up being close to the final solution. We have a chance of a state wide snow. Plus possibly even more chances to follow. We also have no idea how many clipper disturbances will swing thru from the NW flow. At least we have something to track & look at.

With the temps & more chances of frozen precip to follow. What a mess that would be. Actually that would be very dangerous for so many.

Give me cold rain over any ice.

I read on another group the UKIE says severe wx for TN lol. That’s polar opposite of what it was saying.

Yes this will be the 3rd straight winter of very cold temps. The past 2 occurred at Christmas in 2022, first week of January 2023. Landscaping such as hollies took a beating during the 2022. Mostly because it was a flash freeze that killed them & a lot of other bushes & trees. Some are just now recovering. Then last winter it killed more. This cold spell is shaping up to be worse than last winters. Possibly worse than the 2022 winter. This time the duration appears to be much longer. Also expect potholes to start appearing again. Then no doubt water main breaks will occur I’m sure. Many of the cities water lines is outdated. Will there be rolling blackouts? That’s very possible. If TX gets cold I’d hate to live there.

Hopefully that is not an ice storm south of I40.

If I remember correctly. The old Euro had that bias of holding back energy also.

Even if we get small amounts at a time. It’s going to be around for awhile with the temps that are coming. We know cold is coming. We know clippers will also be sliding thru. Fun times ahead!

I just hope if this is confirmed in next few days what models are showing. That people take it seriously & start preparing. These types of temps are not anything to play with. Plumbing needs to be insulated. Cars prepared for dangerous travel. Rolling blackouts very possible. All those living in tents need to make sure they have sufficient shelter. I love winter but this could be one brutal stretch to witness in our lifetimes. Do I think it will happen. Cold air is coming that’s a good bet. How cold. That’s the question. Anything is possible & we have seen a lot of crazy things with the wx lately.
