    I'm jealous. I'm down in Ooltewah wondering how much snow is on our property near you. I'm guessing the end of Window Rock Rd got a good inch or so. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Woke up at 3:21 to some heavy rain, loud thunder and lots of lightning. Picked up .71" of rain before I left for work at 5. Itbqas still raining soIm curious what they toral will be. Almost half inch was in the first 20 minutes. Rain has picked up pretty good again at 5:20. Pretty good soaker coming down at VW. About to get wet. [emoji38] Left my umbrella at home.

    @John1122 I do believe you surpassed the totals that MRX projected for you. [emoji28][emoji28] Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Crazy. We went from forecast mix turning to rain with temps rising to mid-upper 30's today. Instead, we had a front end thump, now 7 hours of dry, minus a few minutes of sleet. Temp is only 29° here. Dry as a bone. I think when/if precip starts back, it will be frozen for maybe 1 hour. Warm nose is overhead, but can't push through the cold, dry air. Once the dome breaks, we'll have a lot of rain. Crazy we had precipitation and then went through Virginia after snow, sleet started. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Sitting at 27° in Ooltewah. 5 hour lull but had some drizzle and pretty good sleet about an hour ago. Roads are just wet at the moment. Small bridge on Hunter road near I75 has ice in middle and on the edges. That's about it for now. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Yes. Driving north on 111. Exit Lewis Chapel. Left over 111 and turn left down the steep hill. It's pretty impressive in person. Great little general store stocked full of all varieties of liquor he makes on site. He's built everything by hand, has a saw mill on site, used his own trees for building everything. Had a kimb to dry his wood. Fresh baked breads and desserts daily. https://photos.app.goo.gl/gaTLiGj2CUZ4GCo96 Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Beautiful. We've been gradually working on getting out land cleared on Window Rock Rd. I'm eyeballing an area on the brow to level for a possible weekend camper until we decide to build. I'm anxiously awaiting for Travis to get the license for approval for the diner and pizza oven fired up at Rolling Oaks. I might look at his Facebook page for an update.

    Down to 28° with all snow in Ooltewah. Hoping we can hang on long enough for a dusting just to cover the grass at least. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    I saw it after I posted, and then accidentally posted it here again. [emoji1751] Moved to correct it. Thanks for starting the OBS. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Can verify very light sleet and very very very light snow in Ooltewah. Temp was a steady 32° and dropped to 31° after light mix started. I won't clutter up anymore unless things change drastically. Putting this out so people waiting on the arrival mightbknow what to expect. Just went outside. Temp has dropped to 29°. All elevated surfaces are glazed over. Jeep is a solid sheet of ice. Pavement and concrete is wet only, but grass is crunchy. Moved Jeep to the road since driveway is sloped. Door already made a loud pop when I opened it due to ice already freezing it. Let's see where this goes. Since it's light ice coming down, that could be bad for power lines.
