    I have been drizzle and light sleet most of the afternoon, but that final band is all snow with the temp dropping back to 32. Total was 2.5" mostly this morning before the dry slot and sleet worked in.

    School admins have to make lots of hard decisions, but trust me, this will not be one of them.

    Only a couple of misses in there and a couple of absolute bangers. Looks good!

    Those crazy cold temps for TN are probably heavily influenced by the huge dump of snow put down upstream in Missouri earlier in the run.

    For some reason I don't remember 82 at all. Looks like much of the mid-state got 4-6" with four different days with below 0 lows. The highest temp at Nashville on the two days preceding the snow was 23 and only got to 22 the day of the storm. Must have been powder that hung around for awhile.

    For OHX the most impressive stat from January 1977 was they recorded snow cover for 26 out of 28 days in one stretch dating back to the end of December. Looks like it came from at least SIX different events. That's pretty impressive for non elevated areas in Tennessee.

    I used to swear by this....until 2014 happened in middle and west TN. We've had several quality events since that dreadful season, but I still have nightmare flashbacks involving above average snowfall in all directions, quality deep cold in the heart of winter, and almost nothing to show for it. That said, I'm optimistic about the second and third weeks of January this year.

    Great, now you've added yet another thing to my "one day when I'm retired" day dream bucket list. I've already got trips in there for the Keweenaw Peninsula and the Tug Hill Plateau. I'm going to have to keep working longer to afford all these trips.

    Have I read that phase 7 in February is actually pretty decent for se snowstorms? Maybe that's just for the east coast?

    Tough morning to forecast temps. My low was 19 here on the hill, but there are near 0 readings within just a couple of miles.
  12. Coach B
    The NWS coop site less than two miles away was at -13 at 6am. There were several -15 readings around on personal weather stations.

    He's a retired meteorologist from OHX so he's probably as good as anyone.

    Maybe going with a NBM approach? That seems common from WFOs at this range. NBM has always seemed very conservative to me for a supposedly blended model.

    It likes all of Tennessee.

    Looked like it was trying to transfer the energy over south middle and east TN to the coastal bomb. Is that the first time we've seen that look with this storm? Strange

    March 1st, 2009 is the last biggie I remember. There were areas of 9-11 inches across southern middle Tennessee.

    I'm close to mm 30 on I-65. Got about .1" of glaze on elevated surfaces here. Nothing on the roads best I can tell. Temp bottomed out at 29. Currently holding at 30. Curious to see how temps recover today and if there is some chance of a little more tomorrow morning.

    At this point I'd say yes. GFS and Canadian cut the low right across TN while the Euro is down on the gulf. If we can split the difference we'll be golden.
  21. Coach B
    It happens. I missed meaningful accums both to my north and south today. I'm saving my luck for a good one in late January.
  22. Coach B
    Forgot to mention I lost power for three hours last night immediately after the front came through. Luckily the wood stove was cranking!
  23. Coach B
    I'm at -2 with just a coating of snow along I-65 in Marshall county. RGEM and Canadian were spot on with my minimal accumulation. I'm not sure this is one where you eastern guys can entirely blame the Plateau for the lack of snow. I think the dynamics and trajectory of the system were just yanking it to the northeast. I usually do pretty well compared to the Memphis to Nashville corridor even though I'm 50 miles south of Nashville. Not this time. My elevation, topography, and ruralness got me nothing.
  24. Coach B
    Pretty sure you are correct. I know Nashville averages more snow in March than December. Obviously March is warmer, but its also prone to some big hitters with snow. December, seems to be more likely to have little nickel and dime events.
  25. Coach B
    Ugggh..... Nashville only reached 40 degrees once during the 1983 holiday 9 day arctic plunge. You guessed it.... it rained over an inch that day and other than some token flakes/dustings it was basically bone dry and frigid the rest of the time. I think most of the state got a couple of events during January 84, but the repeated cold/cutter combo had to be painful during that period.
