  1. 13 with Moderate snow with visibility less than a 1/4 mile. The upper trough is dropping SE from Western Tennessee with the upper low beginning to close off over Northern Mississippi and Nothern Alabama. Will be watching to see if the trough goes to neutral/negative tilt as the day wears on. I see no signs of the snow letting up throughout the next 24 hours at least.
  2. Down to 14 and heavy snow. The upper low is getting closer. Incredible rates now.
  3. First morning shots. There was no hyping here in the Mountains that's for sure.
  4. Eyeballing about an inch and counting. I'll measure tomorrow morning on my snowboard.
  5. Light snow and 28. Already a dusting including the driveway.
  6. Flurries have started at Valley floor. It took a while to saturate enough.
  7. Light flurries on Hemphill Bald just above Cataloochee. It's that time folks. Enjoy!
  8. Folks in the Tennessee forum are reporting snow in Knoxville area now.
  9. Looks like our upper trough that will develop into a closed upper low is progressing nicely. That trough is currently located over Illinois dropping S. The shortwave to the W is dropping quickly through the Rockies. There are several surface waves riding along the Gulf Coast as well. I'm seeing signs of frontogenesis over Eastern Tennessee with rising clouds. Locally, some lower clouds are developing over the ridge tops. It is probably another 3 to 4 hours before flurries begin.
  10. 20 and Cloudy at the house this morning. Humidity has risen overnight to 72. It 'feels' like snow. Good luck gang!
  11. I really hope you folks do well! You've suffered long enough.
  12. The WPC stated in their afternoon disco that the Blue Ridge and the Smokies had a Moderate to High Risk to exceed 8 inches so that makes sense to me!
  13. It's going to fun to focus on small Mesoscale features that we just won't know until an hour or two prior. I'm beginning to see some ratio output suggesting 23:1 and a few approaching 25:1. Wherever a band sets up near the UL could drop a foot to 16 inches. We'll see.
  14. Surprised to see my point and click suggesting 4 to 8 inches possibly higher. The wind doesn't look like much of an issue until Saturday night. It's also interesting seeing another chance of snow Wednesday afternoon into Thursday in that point and click forecast as well.
  15. Thanks for everyone posting the models today! I've had a hectic day and you guys have allowed me to get updates quickly!
  16. Just got back from Asheville. Heavy brine being laid on I-40 in Haywood County. I'm not sure how much good it will do with the very cold temperatures we're expecting as the snow falls tomorrow afternoon into Saturday. The Ice Extravaganza in Maggie Valley has been canceled for Saturday.
  17. 17 at the house this morning. So we are going to do this thing? It's been 4 years since more than 5 inches has fallen from one event in my yard. I believe we're going to see some dynamics that the models can't sniff out until a couple of hour out!
  18. The good thing is I'll be able to blow the snow off the driveway with the leaf blower!
  19. Differential Positive Vorticty Advection
  20. GSP mentioned they were considering hoisting a Watch this afternoon, but opted to hold off until the overnight guidance came in. Seems to be a Storm totals concern more than the need a Watch/Warning issue.
  21. Well, it certainly appears we will not be dealing with that old pesky warm nose this time! That said, I expect the discussion to ramp up with the WPC/NWS with the possibility of a Watch hoisted by tomorrow afternoon.
