    I recall a recent post from Griteater when he was taking about the upcoming SSWE saying that it’s possible the current blocking regime holds for a while, relaxes and then comes back (paraphrasing if you will). If that happens, perhaps our best shots will be when the pattern reloads. Maybe at that point we’ll have a better cold source to tap in Canada. Wild guess at this point and I’d rather not wait for a pattern reload even if that does occur.

    Flurries/Light Snow here just east of Nashville.

    Congrats to you folks in East TN. The pics I’ve seen are awesome. Keep ‘em coming!

    Should drive up to the parents house in Cookeville....

    I don’t think here just east of Nashville that we’ll see any anafrontal changeover. I’m more interested in the energy coming in behind it on Christmas Eve into Christmas morning. If we get anything, I’d say that’s where it comes from. Considering how cold it will be, it won’t take much to at least whiten the ground if we can get under a decent band.

    Not betting on it. Mood flakes FTW!

    Considerably better for the eastern part of Middle TN to the Plateau as well.

    For numerous runs, the GFS ensembles have had that strange fingerlike accumulation map. Weird...

    My son mentioned this earlier tonight. I would have loved to see it. I have an acquaintance that has a super-duper amateur telescope and I wish we could have have finagled our way over there to view it.

    I could live with that. Just give me some mood flakes and I’m good.

    I’m sure reality will prove me wrong when it’s all said and done but it seems like the base state this year is to be average or cooler than normal. Projected warms ups are somewhat muted in the long range. Last year, it was the opposite. We kept expecting cold to take over but it never panned out. The MJO screwed us over last year and never looked back. I hope this is one of those rare years where the NAO and AO regions continue to cooperate. Over the past few years, a Bigfoot sighting is more likely than those two indicies lining up. Maybe we’re finally due.

    I believe Carver said (correct me if I’m wrong) that we need a fresh shot of colder air into our area for these currently borderline systems to produce wintry weather outside of the favored elevated areas. I believe we’ll get that around Christmas give or take a few days. The question is how long it sticks around and will any trough that develops be oriented in a way that allows the cold AND moisture into our area. I personally would like any trough to line up SW to NE to give us an overrunning type set up. I think that’s a good setup to get a board-wide wintry event. Having a low with a January 1988 path is a lot to ask for these days but it certainly would be nice.

    As long as we can hold on to the warmer waters in the NE Pacific, I think we’ll be ok. That should give us intermittent opportunities for some cold to be dislodged whenever the PNA decides to spike. If we can hold any Atlantic blocking and slide the ridging into the EPO region, we could be looking at some brutal cold heading our way. I could be way wrong but I don’t see the PV being locked in an unfavorable position for the entire winter like the last couple. I’m also liking the MJO forecasts. It doesn’t seem to want to stray into the warm phases (and strongly at that). I certainly don’t think that’s a bad thing depending on other factors. I would’ve really liked to see the subtropical jet continue but being a Nina, I guess that was too much to hope for. However, it’s winter in the South and all it takes is the slot machine to line up just once and it can make it a memorable winter. Anyway, I follow you guys often, especially this time of year. Not much time to post anything of merit. Great analysis by all and I hope we as an entire forum can have something noteworthy happen this winter!

    You are indeed correct. The only reason I know is because my wife (girlfriend at the time) was living with her parents in Greeneville, TN. She called, I asked her what she was doing, and she said they were just sitting around talking because the power was out. I asked her why the power was out and she said it was because they had over a foot of snow on the ground and it was still pouring the snow. Her dad had to pick her up early from work that day because she couldn't drive in the amount of snow that had fallen. She said that by the time they finally got home, the snow was so deep on the road that the car was basically pushing the snow like a snow plow. Like you said, I'm pretty sure they ended up with around 2 feet. I can't begin to tell you how jealous I was. Little did I know that we'd get our own surprise a few weeks later.

    I kept a really detailed "snow chart" from about 1987 to about 1998 when I was still living at home in Cookeville. Any time we had frozen precip of any kind, I'd write it down (pre-computer days). I've still got it somewhere and I need to drag it out to reminisce. My two favorites of course were March 1993 and the surprise thumping we got in early February of 1998. We received over a foot with both events. I also remember the anticipation of the January 1988 event. This is back when Flip Spiceland was on CNN and remember him saying, "Tennessee...you're in for a lot of snow!" Good times....

    Welcome!

    Just glad to be here. There's a lot of knowledgeable folks on this forum. I hope we all have a banner winter!
