Oak Moon Upslope/ Upper Low Storm Obs
Shocker0 replied to Holston_River_Rambler's topic in Tennessee Valley
It was 48 here a few minutes ago and now it's down to 43 at my house. Monterey reports 44 and Crossville 47. I'm between the two near 2000ft.- 300 replies

Fatalities reported in Putnam County
-
It was about a mile north of me it looked like on radar. We got high winds and lightning, but barely any rain. I'll drive north a little ways in the AM and see how it looks. The path the storm took in Cumberland County was almost identical to the February 2012 tornado which killed three people. Was woken up by my phone ringing with the automated message for it. Rough night, I didn't realize the storms were expected to be so severe, especially here in Eastern middle TN. All good here just very very spotty cell phone coverage so hopefully this message will submit

Oh yeah true, hopefully it will make it this far though. And awesome, it has slowed down here but we're about to head east anyway so maybe we can drag it over your way lol. -

I kinda see that. Looks like a comma type motion maybe. -

Yeah I'm definitely familiar with them. I'd say that would have a lot to do with it. It doesn't usually snow as much in Crab Orchard as other parts of Cumberland County though either, but I think the elevation is a tad lower there as well. Another thing I've noticed is it seems like the further west you are on the Plateau, the more snow you get at least in these types of events. It's almost like it just smacks into the Plateau and then weakens as it covers the rest of the plateau, similar to what you're saying. The contrast from Cookeville to Monterey (10ish miles apart) is always striking. I am amazed that they are all the same school district because accumulating snow is rare in Cookeville while it can hammer Monterey, but the entire county gets out of school for it regardless. Side Note: I used to live in Deer Lodge! -

Shocker0 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Lol, I didn't even realize it was snowing again until I saw your message. It's coming down pretty good right now but mainly on the cars. It's 35 degrees here too. I am actually about to leave for Johnson City in the next hour and won't be back until Sunday so I will miss most of it. Hopefully you'll get some to stick tonight with the nighttime snow and colder temps moving in! Just dropped to 34 actually as it gets heavier. Hopefully it won't get bad on the roads when we head out here shortly. -

Nothing special here, but the kids are happy to have two straight snow days going into the weekend which seems to be the case here a lot lately. -

The local mets here have been implying that this one is more potent than tonight's system. We'll see. Temperatures look a bit warm Friday -

Snowpleasanthill.mp4 We only have a dusting here, but I think I have a little better understanding of the upslope snow events tonight. Southwest of me five miles in Pleasant Hill everything is white including the roadways, which explains the "deteriorating road conditions" they were talking about here. The snow was noticeably heavier when climbing small hills even. Snowpleasanthill.mp4 -

Our local Emergency Management Agency is reporting deteriorating road conditions throughout Cumberland County, but I'm not sure if it's mainly for water freezing on roadways or what. We only have a light dusting at my house and the roads just seem wet for the most part. -

Heavier snow coming in now with pretty big flakes. Dusting on cars but not on grass yet. Looks like possibly an hour or two of it though, just started. -

Been snowing here decently at times but not sticking many places. If it snows after sunset we might get a dusting but so far pretty meh. It is down to 33 at my house though -

NAM vs the Euro cage match storm, Feb 20 - 21
Shocker0 replied to Holston_River_Rambler's topic in Tennessee Valley
I definitely remember the 2009 event. We were supposed to get a few inches of snow here in Crossville then as well, but it was going to be close on temperatures. Instead, it stayed about 34 degrees the entire day and rained, rained, and rained some more. Never switched over. -

Here is the only picture I have from that February 2004 event, and it's very poor quality. Anyway, this was after we had started up the "mountain" and then turned around after running into heavy snow. So within 20 minutes the ground went from nothing to this. And then 5-10 minutes down the road it was completely clear again and never snowed. I just remembered as we traveled south on Highway 27 we kept seeing cars coming in the northbound lanes caked with snow on their front ends, like they had just literally ran smack into it. -

Shocker0 replied to Holston_River_Rambler's topic in Tennessee Valley
Ours has hung around longer than I expected but as of now it's mostly gone except for the areas in the shade. Hopefully there's potential for everyone in the Wednesday system but we'll see. Weather channel says it's 48 here currently even though my gauge says 40 so I might need to go check and see if it fell in the snow lol. EDIT: Yep...it had fallen down in the snow lol. -

Shocker0 replied to Holston_River_Rambler's topic in Tennessee Valley
Yeah that's insane. I knew Oneida didn't get anything because we traveled through there during the event to get to that Church, and then on the way back we went through again and there was nothing in Oneida, or at my house 10 miles north of Oneida. However, 5-10 miles south of Oneida there were several inches. It was definitely a spotty event and I'm still not sure how it happened that way. -

This must've been at least one of the events, and one that John is referencing as well. This post is mainly about West Tennessee, but the way they mention it seemed to be very spotty and hop around from place to place sounds a lot like what I remember from that system. In fact, in the image at the link below, it shows about 9" of snow for my current location in NW Cumberland County (I lived in SE KY in early 2004 during this event and we received nothing in this storm), and virtually nothing in Monterey, only ten miles away! https://www.weather.gov/hun/hunsur_2004-02-15 -

I found something! This is the exact event I'm thinking of. It was so isolated that Crossville got almost a foot, and Jamestown a dusting. Both locations are on the Plateau and normally receive similar snowfall. It seemed like it jumped over certain areas and hit others, almost like a pop up thunderstorm in the summer. I just remember it supposed to have been a widespread event, but thought it was a complete bust until we tried to go to church that night, and then seeing newspapers from Morgan County and Cumberland that week showing a heavy blanket of snow. I honestly don't believe we received a drop of snow OR rain at my house from it, so it wasn't even like temperatures came into play for me, the storm just missed us somehow Note: Deer Lodge and Sunbright are both in Morgan County and received heavy snow in this event, but I believe Wartburg, in the same county, received very little as well, if any.
