We lost 20 + trees in that ice storm, and had no power for 11 days. I think this area around Monterey was kinda the epicenter. The thing I remember was how quiet it was until the wind started picking up Saturday morning, and then all you could hear were the trees snapping and crashing. 

Yeah it was definitely the bullseye from Monterey to Clarkrange and down to Crossville as far as ice went. I remember the trees snapping as well, only other storm that reminded me of that was living in Southern Kentucky in 1998 when an unexpected snowstorm dumped 2+ feet of heavy wet snow on us and we had to walk to my aunts house (she had a generator) 1/4 mile away and kept hearing trees falling all around us. I have plenty of pictures from this ice storm. Here is one overlooking I-40 Exit 311. You can see how thick the ice is on the guardrail and even the car mirror. I was actually thankful my yard didn't have trees in it at the time (other than a couple strong pines and small trees).

That was taken Feb. 21, 2015 in Jonesville. 

Nicee. That's the day my second video was taken. We basically got that much snow, but as 25 degree rain lol

Looks like snow in Crossville area and possibly soon here.  I'm working on my mountain property this afternoon and just got into service and saw the radar. 

It's actually sleet here and pretty heavy

Sleet storm in Crossville currently

 39° at my house

TWC now says 1-3" tomorrow night here and the same Monday. With "less than one inch" Monday night. Hopefully that verifies, they ended up being right avoht the bust in my location last week.

Basically the entire 06z suite is on board with the 0z Euro. MRX remains typically bearish outside the mountains, where they will likely issue a WSW by tomorrow, as they are bullish there. They mention 1200 feet as the likely snow line but also say most of the valley will see some snow in the air. 

To date this year I've had a lot of over performers imby with one bust, that being a couple days ago with the dusting. 

Pretty much the same here. Every snow has been around 2-4 inches consistently until the one bust the other day. Still the best winter here in 5 years or so though.

Ill post some pics from Feb. 2015 tomorrow Lord willing , nothing happens. Turning in for now.

Late February 2015 was definitely one of the most active recent periods I can recall in the forum area for sure. We never really had an ice storm warning since I had lived in Tennessee (2004) and suddenly had two in one week. I thought the ice storm that Monday was bad but the one on Saturday ended up being the worst in history around here.

This video is three days later driving down I-40 through Crossville. 40mph+ Wind Gusts plus 2 inches of ice made it look like a tornado hit. Surprisingly, most lower elevated areas around us got all snow from this event before it eventually switched to rain, where we mostly just got freezing rain for hours on end.

Not sure if it's allowed but I figured I would make a thread to share pics/videos/stories of past storms that have affected our location over the years. Hopefully some of you will participate. It doesn't have to be a significant storm just something that you want to share or a story from a weather event.

This first video is from Wednesday February 18, 2015. We had one of the wildest weeks of weather I can ever remember that week. It started on Monday with a big ice storm, followed by snow Tuesday and Wednesday and temperatures dropping below zero. Then on Friday we had a huge warmup (to 29 degrees) and two inches worth of ice fall Friday night and Saturday morning, knocking power out for many days. So during that 5 day stretch we had two Ice Storm Warnings and multiple Winter Weather Advisories. This video was taken midweek of heavy snow at work, followed by sunshine only about an hour later.

I took a pic of the weather predicted that week just because of how crazy it was (it ended up not getting nearly THAT cold on Wednesday night)

And just like that I think the system is out of here lol.

Big flakes now! Quick dusting forming

Actually it has changed to snow now, but there's nothing on radar behind it

35 in Crossville. Light rain, everything seems to be going north of here though so we probably won't get much if any.

Part 2 will be here tomorrow night. Probably lighter this round. I'd guess a heavy dusting to maybe 1.5 inches in the lower elevations with a lot more likely in the lower range of accumulation. Still I think a few people will get lucky and do okay with it.  It's going to be colder than last night and today. My low is forecast to be 26 with the snow falling tomorrow night. 

I'd be happy if we managed another inch from all that. NWS only shows 20% chance for us while TWC is at 40% so neither seem to excited about it.

Yes I was amazed at how accurate that map was- I measured before the melting started and I got right about 4 or a little less in spots, I'm in the blue spot also - our elevation is much higher than in town. You might have gotten more than you thought

You're probably right but I woke up at like 5am when it was snowing hard and then fell asleep until like 11:30 well after it had quit lol. So I'm sure some had melted by that time since it was 31 degrees or so.

I never was able to get more than an inch down. Once the sun came up it was just too much for any additional accumulations.

The sun never really came out here surprisingly but we still had melting in the "drifty" spots where there wasn't as much coverage. And it was only 31 degrees today. Maybe we'll all get more the next couple days.

Looks like ur the winner so far brother. What did u get , 4 to 5" ?

I think more like 3" it's just blown around everywhere. I didn't measure but the car seemed to have more on it than the grass probably. Every snow we've had here this season has been almost the same amount seems like. I wish it wasn't so windy here or it would've made for some really good pictures of the trees again.

They did model it pretty well though, the random dark blue blip is over me above Crossville.

Melted off the roads here and is 31 now. Looks like maybe more snow tomorrow night here but with it supposed to be around 36 or so most of this will probably melt?

I think it's pretty much done here between Monterey and Crossville but another good solid event overall

EDIT: Actually looks like a couple heavier bands will be coming through shortly so may pick up a little from those

I don't have access to a good radar picture, but it's still snowing at a good clip , medium and small flakes mixed. Approaching two inches, I hope you get this in your neck of the woods!

Same here. I went to bed about 3.5 hours ago and it hadn't started here yet so I'm surprised since when I went to bed it seemed it was all west of Nashville. Hopefully it keeps up and we all get some snow that'll last more than a day or so with the colder temps ahead. This is already the best winter in three or four years at least here.

Sorry for crappy pic quality

Feels like it could be a bust here...or was the first wave that came through not really supposed to amount to anything and it's mostly whats in West Tennessee thats expected to add up?

Looks like Lebanon is about to get it per radar. 

They did! Ran into heavy snow just east of there on the way home. Video quality sucks but the flakes were pretty huge.

I'm in Lebanon eating and snow rain mix was coming down pretty good a few minutes ago. Seems quiet now 

It's technically not the same system I guess, but we just had heavy snow and big flakes come rolling through here laying down a good dusting!
