I've narrowed it down with my family to 2 remaining reservations. Either I'll be in southern Illinois/Missouri (Carbondale/Cape Girardeau) or I'll be in Indiana (Shelbyville/Bloomington). The former looks marginally better than the latter but at the expense of added drive time.

Thunder and lightning in JC! Some decent gusts too, wish I had a station down here.

This morning the North Fork of the Holston was frozen over hwy 19. So was the Clinch in Honaker. (sort of) actually there were still some small open spots on both rivers among larger swathes where it was froze straight across but still!

Inexplicably I'm holding the line at 31.5. Air is dry with a dp of 11. Seems warmer in every direction on wunderground. The skies are a solid wall of grey. There's certainly juice up there and probably warm air aloft to boot. This may not be pretty. I'd welcome the virga if it could cool the column for pure snow.

Finally beginning to wrap up. Here's a slow mo of the final wave a few moments ago.

John may have released the trailer for the cash grab sequel snowstorm but this one has a heck of a post credits scene. No clue when it will finally end lol.

Today was a nearly perfect 24 hours of snowfall. While lacking in some of the stronger bursts seen further south it made up for it with consistency. At no point was mixing an issue. As of midnight I officially report 6.2 inches for the day. An extra inch overnight wouldn't surprise me. It's been fun.

25 with light snow persisting under the radar. 6+ inches have fell.

The hammer is coming down now! Snowfall rates have reduced visibility to nearly half a mile. The road is covered and temps are maxxed for today at 29. Approaching 5 inches shortly!

Sitting at 3 inches and climbing. I may be behind but I'm also late! Rates are consistently moderate with visibility of a mile. Temps rose again but are starting to plateau at 29.

Actually that might not be good for them. That could be, likely bright banding. When snow is in the process of melting on the way down it expands, gets bigger. When it gets bigger it shows up on radar as extremely heavy precipitation. I’ve been under those before and it could be light rain switching back and forth to fat mush flakes.
.A possible example of this can be seen right now in Florence, Alabama. Radar is showing heavy snow returns over there but the webcam shows a mix of precip types.

Temperatures have leveled off a tick above 27F. This corresponded with an increase in snowfall rates and shift in wind direction. Snow trucks rolling and scraping nonstop now!

It's been puking in Ooltewah for a little while now. It looks like the rain snow line is a hair to our south. Is it possible for us to stay all snow in the transition zone and overperform?
I k ow it's a computer generated forecast, but TWC took us from 1-3" to 5-8" right after the moderate snow started.
I'll take half that amount and call it a day down here!

anybody know if there’s a chance of switching back to snow in Blount?

Is there a way to tell where posters live? I check their profile but don't see a location. Folks are posting their current weather conditions and it would be good to know the location they're talking about.
Everyone be safe and enjoy the snow!

So, in order to see locations you'll need to open the desktop version of the site. (Avoid using tapatalk) You can do this fairly easily by opening your settings on your phones web browser. An extra perk of the desktop version is you can see profile signatures.

After the snow started I grabbed some Zs. Usually I don't like to miss any moment of a snowstorm. Tonight feels special though, with over 24 hours of duration and secure temps I felt relaxed. I enjoy the rush of attempting to predict what systems will do and yet, this was nice. Waking up to a field of white and knowing you don't have school/some other responsibilities... I still woke up early like a man possessed but I think I'm at peace for now. Anyway I haven't taken measurements yet but there is a solid inch plus of powder. Temperatures have seemingly leveled at 23. Light snowfall currently.
To those commuting today yall be safe, and hopefully yall in the southern great valley can overcome mixing trouble.

Update: It's now 26.5 with a dp of 20.3. The low level atmosphere is primed here for a classic southern Appalachian snowstorm. Won't be long now... I hope.

April 8 Great American Eclipse forecast
in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Posted
With razor thin margins like that you may want to reconsider. The exact borders of the eclipse path are hard to ascertain for sure. This article may interest you, https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2024/03/30/why-your-total-solar-eclipse-map-is-suddenly-wrong/?sh=a1b40e43d7d4
Also here is the map by John Irwin with the slightly altered eclipse path parameters. Whether he's correct, who knows.
