  3. New Year's Eve & New Year's Day 1963-1964 Snowstorm Bobby Boyd Meteorologist National Weather Service Nashville, Tennessee It's been nearly 50 years since Nashville has accumulated 10 inches of snow from a single storm. The last time it happened was on New Year's Eve in 1963 and continued into New Year's Day 1964. Nashville measured 10.2 inches of snowfall while areas across southern Middle Tennessee totaled upwards of 16 inches. this was the largest snowfall in Nashville since 15.0 inches fell on February 21st 1929. A cold airmass was already in place when a wave developed on a surface front in the central Gulf of Mexico on December 30th 1963. The surface wave quickly developed into a low pressure area and moved northeast across Florida spreading a wide area of precipitation northward. Snow fell in Middle Tennessee in the overnight hours of New Year's Eve and into New Year's Day 1963-64. Some areas of northwest Alabama received 20 inches of snow. On the afternoon of December 29th 1963 cold arctic air pushed southward toward the Gulf Coast. Supported by a 1040 mbar high over the northern Plains and by very strong northerly flow aloft from Canada to Texas, the cold air plunged across the Gulf of Mexico south of latitude 25 degrees by midday of December 30th. With an upper-level ridge moving inland on the West Coast and a large amplitude cold trough over the Mississippi River Valley, the stage was set for heavy snowfall over the Southern states. Clues to a developing weather system were evident on the evening of December 30th, as the 500 mbar height falls over extreme south Texas accompanied by unusually cold air indicated an intensification of the trough or the formation of a low center near the Gulf Coast. The 500 mbar trough sharpened during the night as very cold air began moving over an area already under the influence of a noticeable speed divergence pattern from Lake Charles to Nashville. By evening on December 31st the upper-level chart showed a well organized cold low centered over southern Mississippi. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ohx&storyid=96629&source=0 Might take a mi or 2 to load up
  4. 22) "SOUTHEASTERN SNOWSTORM OF 2011" January 10-13, 2011 This Gulf Coast storm interacted with a very cold air mass that was situated all the way into the Gulf Coastal region. This rare set up resulted in a large swath of nearly 1-foot snow accumulations from Northern Texas through the Gulf States, including portions Arkansas and Tennessee. Interior portions of the Carolinas into the Appalachian Mountains received 1-2 feet of snow. Some sleet and freezing rain also mixed in across these areas to create significant travel and power outage issues. The storm hooked up the East coast where it intensified, bringing a general 1-3 feet of snow along the Eastern seaboard. Although minor snow accumulations in the Southeast U.S. during the winter months are not unexpected, the areal coverage and magnitude of snow accumulations made this a historic storm. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mkx/?n=biggestsnowstorms-us
