  1. @John1122 I do believe you surpassed the totals that MRX projected for you. [emoji28][emoji28] Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  2. Thanks Carver. We bought this house in June 2016. This is the 1st snow we've had where temps actually went below freezing. Every one we've had were melted off by the end of the day, or the 1 last January 10th, 2025 where temps rose to 33° when the snow ended. It was melted off the next morning.

  3. Normally at 18°, it's bone dry with zero snow. Very happy with the event. It must have came down pretty hard early on. My neighbor said he went to bed at 3AM and nothing except for the quick burst at 7PM. I feel like Ooltewah overachieved. Not too far to my west, maybe 5 miles, reports of around 1" are common. We had a.pretty solid 3" here. Might be 2 1/2. Very difficult earlier measuring every 30 minutes with the wind whipping like it is. Juat started a light snow shower again. This is squeezing out every drop of moisture. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  4. A few neighborhood kids will be happy shortly. The road is perfect for slowly pulling kids on a tube. SxS never slid. Edit to add: good burst of snow the last 45 minutes. https://photos.app.goo.gl/zRBcQ2msuRXwBoYJ8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/mr1XvDGcWmexBZ837 Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  5. Just woke up. Woke up at 4 and it was light snow. Roads were white but very little in yard. Woke up 15 minutes ago and all is white. I'd say a solid 1 1/2", possibly 2". Measured right at 2" on the Jeep hood. I was surprised I could pack a snowball. I expected it to be all powder. Either way, I feel good about it. It's peanuts compared to most people, but we are Chattanooga area, so I'd consider anything a win. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  6. Temp down to 31° but the snow has pretty much ended except for a few random flurries. What little we had fall stuck instantly to cars and concrete. Really would like to see about 6 hours of what we had for the short time it was snowing. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  7. Can confirm snow and 32° in Ooltewah. Went outside 10 minutes ago and nothing was falling, but it had that "smell and feel" in the air with the snowy looking sky. Let's hope it continues. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  8. Current conditions in Ooltewah. Dark. A lot of darkness. The only white I can see outside is light reflections. We are a Chattanooga suburb, so I expect nothing less! 37° Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  9. [emoji28] Arrrrr. Spot on with Seinfeld! Off topic and I apologize, but the more I see Olivia Glass, the cuter she gets. Carry on! She looks good in her pirate shirt. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  10. Locals aren't impressed. Mostly to our east with a dusting in Chatty. Snow mainly Cleveland and east. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  11. I fell asleep before our local 11:00 news last night. The 6 o'clock news had our highs for Friday (now today) at 46°. When (if) the moisture arrives, starting as light rain and then changing to snow when the cold air filters in. Channel 3 has us up to 2". Channel 9 a dusting to 1". Curious what they will be showing in a few minutes with the morning crew. 2" is not much, if we can manage to get that, BUT, with temps in the low to mid 20's for Saturday highs, everything should at least be covered white and stick around a few days. I'd rather have 2" on the ground a few days instead of those 4" snows that melt off within 4 or 5 hours. I'm still skeptical about losing what we might get to virga. Edit to add: our forecast low was 26°. We bottomed out in Ooltewah at 19° and currently sitting at 20°. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  12. Let me throw another wrench into everything. It will be cold. Let's pretend we have a lot of moisture coming and it could be .30". Thats 3" at 10:1. More than likely will be at least 15:1 or maybe 20:1. That sounds great! But, since it's Chattanooga, we will use up 80% of our QPF to saturate the column enough to reach the ground. [emoji1787][emoji1787] We'll end up up with a virga storm! That would be our luck.[emoji38] Just keeping it real for Chatty. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  13. I saw this and thought it was funny as Hell. Think back to last Monday when the tv Mets were trying to get ahead of social media maps. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/187zJmtEES/ Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  14. Posted something similar a few days ago on the original thread. Just my opinion of course. We need to go old school, listen to the forecast from the NWS and roll with it. Too many different maps and models instead of true meteorologists plotting maps and making their own forecast. It's a lost art. I know it's the way it is now, but old school plotters were more accurate, in my opinion, on overall winter storms prediction accuracy. Modern day mets see a model printout and say "Here's my forecast. I'm smart with a degree, so here it is." I dont know of any remaining meteorologists that use their own work anymore. Everything is computer generated. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
  15. Not being mean, but I think I would be seeing a doctor. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
