  1. I’m a little concerned about this one. It feels like cold rain coming in Farragut, not snow. I hope I’m wrong but I was more confident at this point in the game for the Christmas Eve snow than this one.
  2. I have a hard time believing the trajectory of the New Years storm as it relates to the 6z gfs. It’s too far west to be a cutter and too far east to be a 4 corners low. It has to go much further west or east. What does it want to be? We’ll see I suppose but I’m certain it’s not going to go due north from the tx/la coast all the way to Chicago.
  3. By mid week we will have another significant storm system headed our way. Slowed down approach of POPs by 6 hours in the grids, based on new Euro run with deeper trough and slower movement. We should have a classic setup for a 12-18 hour Mountain Wave Wind event centered right now around Thursday, with the timing differing in models. The low level winds will be bringing up a lot of moisture, thereby inducing some instability. Have kept Thunder out for now, but could see it possibly getting into southern parts of the area Thursday. On the back side of this system the colder air could offer another chance of snow around Thursday night into early Friday. The overall scenario is not too different from this White Christmas scenario, but too early to know about available moisture, how quickly airmass will cool, and how much lift there will be. Looks like this precip will taper off pretty quickly around Friday. Edit: sorry guys, don’t know why the font is so large.
  4. Good to know, when I left at 9pm the roads were clear in my neck of the woods...wet but otherwise clear I should say.
  5. You’re close to where I live in Farragut apparently. I’m stuck at work in Powell, did that snow accumulate on the road or just elevated surfaces and grass?
  6. Yeah that was the biggest head fake of the winter last year, it was early and made it seem like we were destined for a good season. This season clearly feels different.
  7. If it’s the same I’m looking at, looks like mrx’s map is still the one they generated early this am. Their disco still reflects that, I would expect a more thorough update with the 3am product.
  8. I’ve experienced one severe thunderstorm in my six years living in the valley. It was a drive to get there and it was marginal. This is not the place to be a severe wx nerd—worse than snow.
  9. How dare you say that and not elaborate! Perma ban for you!
  10. Is this person suggesting there’s a (relatively) large extent of arctic sea ice? As it stands it looks like we are currently tied roughly with 2011/12 with the lowest extent on record. That’s extreme relativity there. Also while we are expected to see increased solar activity it is my understanding that we are also in a century-class minimum so our increasing activity may still resemble low solar output conditions. sorry to take this off topic, I’m sure it’s a strong correlation but maybe not the best year/conditions to test the strength of it.
  11. Just my opinion but I have two thoughts on that. First is that law of averages would suggest we are due for a good season, or at least a good hitter or two. And speaking of averages, starting next year the ‘cool’ 80’s drop off the 30 year climate data charts which means we will likely see a change in averages, perhaps skewing more cool since the 90’s and 00’s were so warm. Oceans will probably continue their warm phases which will continue to skew the ‘global’ temperatures though.
  12. Well Morristown originally thought I wouldn’t get any snow two weekends ago and I ended up with over two inches. By linear thought progression that means I should get over 4” this time in Farragut.
  13. Has Dr. No come in with the 12z yet? If the trend shows up there in some form then I will start getting excited
  14. I’ve only tried on my phone and it hasnt worked yet, but I’m also a bad millennial-I’m not savvy with this stuff. I’ll try on my computer in a bit to see if that’s better for me.
  15. Can you describe what you saw in your link? It doesn’t work for me lol.
  16. Not correct. Maybe you should stick to your area. Things are 'extreme' by the way.

  17. FFW and Emergency are different things. The warning has been in place officially since 7:16 this morning. I have some videos, will post later when they've downloaded. It's getting worse so these may be tame by the time they upload. Turkey Creek has breached the bridge at Kingston Pike. The road is impassable as it is a river
