The way this thing has gone for the past week, I have absolutely no reason to believe it’s gonna play out the way the mods say it’s going to. Either it’s gonna snow way more than anybody thinks it’s going to or it’s gonna rain the whole time. .

I posted this yesterday… these are lighting strikes being picked up by the 3K NAM .

What really stinks about this system, other than the obvious (lol)…. Is we desperately need rain and there’s a good chance we’re gonna lose out on probably half of it never touching the ground. .

How close have you been to the tornadoes the last several year? .

I have been trying to figure that out myself by assuming a couple inches of snow, sleet and freezing rain. I’m guessing somewhere between 1 inch and 1.25 inches of pure rain. .

This is why I believe parts of N Knox Co might stay frozen longer than other areas. My area is in the pink. .- 618 replies

[emoji817]….. that’s a great point about the rain rates. Some of the worst road conditions I’ve ever been in was freezing fog. .

My question is whats the air temperatures at the surface for the majority of this event? If they’re only about 30 to 32° then I don’t see there being any road issues. elevated surfaces trees, vehicles, house gutters, etc… we’ll have ice on them, but in my opinion with the warmer temperatures the last couple of days, I think the temperature is will need to be (IMO) 28° or below before we start having road issues. .

With the way technology is now and social media with getting warnings and advisories and stuff like that out, I’m surprised the national weather service hasn’t gone to more of a polygon system with winter weather than still using counties. I understand why you use counties for severe thunderstorm watches, and tornado watches, flood watches… those kinds of things. But there’s multiple counties in East Tennessee that that can have a wide range of winter weather depended upon the location in that county. North of interstate 40 in Knox County just about always has a location advantage over areas south of interstate 40 when we have these 50-50 type systems. In these close call winter systems, my weather in Halls is always closer to the weather in Southern Anderson County, Southern Union County and southern Granger County. .

This scares me more than anything. Just a little bit of ice at the bottom of the mountains. There could be catastrophic tree damage. .

Me in Halls vs Knoxville is like I’m in a totally different county. I will not be surprised if my snow totals are closer to the counties to the north then south of me. .

I have a tankless heater but when I changed out my upright water heater to the tankless, I kept the old water heater and used it as a holding tank. So I pump hot water into the holding tank from my tankless water heaters, and when I need hot water, the circulating pump comes on and pumps the hot water out of the holding tanks. .

You are the man… I forgot about hot water. But I’ve got tankless gas water heaters and I can run them off my vehicle’s converter. The circulating pump pulls the most amps on my tankless system and it’s only about a half to 3/4 of an amp. .

I have 80 pounds of propane a 20,000 BTU vent free propane heater, a DC to AC converter for my jeep and a propane top skillet for cooking in a pan or on a griddle. But Lord, help us if we actually have to use these things for more than a day or so .

You can also get deicer in an aerosol can. I have a couple of them and it’s OK if it gets on your paint of your vehicle. Also, the deicer windshield washer fluid works well and is very handy in the winter at any time. .

I know this is Captain obvious but just reminding everyone to fill up their vehicles, maybe even get a little extra in a can .

I would rather be told what I do not wanna hear then be told maybe it will, maybe it won’t and you’re left with knowing nothing. .

Yeah I’ve got a wheelbarrow with water in it and it’s still frozen. It’s in the shade but a lot of roads are in the shade .
