Winter 2021/2022 January Thread
Holston_River_Rambler replied to AMZ8990's topic in Tennessee Valley
Kind of surprised there isn't any talk on the NWS or media of possible freezing rain over parts of East TN. Maybe the low level warm air will win out. -

If we can get thunder and lightning, while there is still old snow on the ground, and rain falling, I think that would be a whole new folklore sign. -

We need to try and squeeze out a thunder clap or two over the mts as this heads east tonight: You know, just for fun.... -

To follow up on what John said, the 0z GFS was what I call the space invaders pattern. The northern stream and the STJ keep shooting energy at each other like the old video game: -

Jan 6th-7th 2022 Second Chance Storm
Holston_River_Rambler replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
One option might be that the radar was detecting some virga from a narrow band of high clouds moving in: But, the radar site wasn't too far away and I would think if it were virga, it wouldn't show up so close to the site, indicating that it is at least as low level as the upslope. I really wish those high clouds weren't there so I could see the low level flow on IR imagery. We've seen a band in upslope south of Knoxville before, and the only thing I can think of is that some vagary in the low level flow in the valley reoriented that band towards the ENE -

Interesting little band of snow this morning south of I-40 and east of Knoxville: You can see the normal upslope north and northeast of Knoxville, moving NW to SE. But this little band south of I-40 kind of follows the interstate ENE. You'd think the upslope flow in the low levels would orient everything along the same direction, but apparently this was either at a different level of the atmosphere or something else was going on. -

I probably got another half inch from the last band. Moon peeking through the clouds now. -

Using only the most up-to-date, scientific, and careful measurements and analyses, and after peer reviewing it with many peers, I have come to the conclusion that this snowfall is equal to two beers:- 841 replies

I've been getting off and on again decent snow showers, some of it not picked up by radar. I may be around 2 inches. -

Back to all snow now. I think I just hit a bit of subsidence on the back side of that monstrous band that came through earlier. -

I must be just on the edge of the warm nose. As long as I have good rates, I have snow, but as soon as the rates drop off, it goes to a mix. -

Some of these flakes are bigger than golf balls. I don't think I've ever seen snowflakes this big.
