Do any of you feel insane when it snows? Here I am, at 12:14 staring out the window, while everyone else is asleep.

I’m sitting in the dark with flood lights on watching it.  It’s so peaceful & beautiful. 

Same here. We don’t get this opportunity very often so I’m gonna soak up some falling snow. 

Hard rain in White Pine at 1:10. Wind is picking up pretty good now, too.

Salt does not work at these temps.  4x4 does not work on ice.  Honestly it was crazy for people to be out in these conditions.  It’s dangerous. 

I came down the NJ Turnpike one night in black ice conditions. I was in the emergency lane in 4x4 low (5 mph) and cars were flying by me. I will conservatively say that I saw 200 wrecked vehicles that night. At one point I drove 4 hours and traveled 20 miles, with no traffic holdups or delays other than the weather. 

Smartway cam at I-40/24 junction (213.2 mile marker) is better than watching TV. Solid sheet of ice. Cars bumping other cars and continuing to motor down the highway. I watched an 18 wheeler push several cars out of his way and keep on trucking.

People are out of vehicles walking around on the interstate, pushing cars, etc. 

It’s some crazy stuff. I really feel sorry for those folks. 

Looks like snow at the 40/75 split 

Lying in bed listening to a torrential rain hit my metal roof and suddenly at about 3:48 a.m. it went quiet. I got up to check and it was about an 80/20 snow/rain mixture with huge flakes. Less than 5 minutes later it was basically all snow. I have never witnessed that before - it was almost instantaneous. 

It’s all good, Powell. 
 

I was not looking to discredit, but to inform. 
 

I really enjoy your Weatherquest threads over on VQ, by the way.  If the natives there would stop feeding the trolls, the threads would be so much more enjoyable.

There isn’t a player on Tennessee’s team that has lost at Rupp. Barnes is the only active coach to win 3 games at Rupp


.

Actually, Fulky and Yves have both been on teams that lost at Rupp.  In the 2018/2019 season, UK defeated UT in Lexington.

UT has won 3 of the last four there, though.

That said, I really need to look at the MJO before I post.  The EMON has the MJO going into phase 8, the GEFS is flirting with it, and the ECMWF is as well.  IF that is the case, modeling should send that trough into the East.  Those are not bad looks.  That trough "should" kick eastward.  Been following the TN coaching search while the wx is in lull, so take with a huge grain.

The UT coaching searches are now the most exciting part of UT football. This particular search has been exceptionally entertaining.

Thanks to those of you who post weather stuff for the novices like me to read.

Snowing in Jefferson County now. Really fine snow that has created a dusting and is just starting to accumulate on the driveway. 

33 degrees on Douglas Lake.
