    It’s easy to get frustrated. Lord knows I am when talking about MBY. I also know it’s a product of where I live and partly luck-of-the draw. OTOH, I’m glad locations near me (and very near at that) have done ok so far this winter. At least that give me solace knowing that it CAN still snow in this neck of the woods. I’m actually thankful to have at least been in the ballgame this winter with some of the pre-season forecasts that were out there. Hopefully we’ll have a more favorable pattern statewide before winter is over.

    Yeah. When we’re banana’d by a couple 1030 highs, I see your point...

    Hmm. Each model run piques my interest in a possible changeover in my neck of the woods. It’ll be interesting to watch.

    Dang near a perfect track. Not worried about minor details at this point.

    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.

    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.

    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....
