Looks like that area of heavy sleet is about at Sweetwater making its way slowly up the valley. Dry air fighting it all the way.

Still dry hear in the Cedar Bluff area of West Knoxville but their is an air of expectation outside.

60 is going to be great. I have not been able to get my boat out on the water since I bought it... Time to get out and rip some lips. I am however, going to enjoy whatever we get tonight for some reason I am feeling good about tonight. Maybe it's the Scotch in my hand.

For folks in the valley cloud cover proceeding events like this can very good. Trapping cold air in the valley at the surface. It does not always matter but in marginal situations every piece of the puzzle counts. Right now it is not looking very good. Here is a good place to check out cloud cover. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/map/satellite

Looks like Memphis is getting its first flakes of round 2. Glad to see them cashing in. Check out the cam. https://www.memphiszoo.org/elephant-cam

There is one thing that is absolutely clear. MY SKIES in north Knoxville.

I remember that event. Rain was suppose to be my predominat Ptype and i ended up with around 2 inches of snow in West Knoxville. North West Knoxville did much better. There were also some Zr if I remember correctly.

They do seem to hug the warmest solutions and it does play out well for them often but their term wide seems more of a bias rather than an honest statement.

MRX is acting like there will be no front end thump of snow for the valley in the morning disco. They tend to always look the other way when the models say anything about snow chances. Stick fingers in ears. Put hands over eyes. Repeat the mantra, "it never snows in the valley". The unfortunate reality is, it works most of the time.

Cheers to a good dump!

Check out the elephant cam at the Memphis Zoo. I am sure that water is a little cold for the big pachyderms. https://www.memphiszoo.org/elephant-cam

Just curious, Why do you think winds out of the NN East is unusual when getting large snows? I live in the Knoxville area and almost all the large storms i remember have had an east or north east wind component.

John I value your insight. Do you think this has a chance to trickle down to the great valley floor? I know it is a hard call but what do you think the chances are? Not that I want that at all. The tempatures continue to be 5 or so degrees colder than forecast on a consistent basis. it seems like a possibility to me..

looks like Nashville has now pulled the trigger. I think it was expected.

Glad the guys out west are getting in on the winter WX. Just hope it can shift into sleet and snow rather than freezing rain. I hate the ZR. if I had my choice between it and a torch i would take the heat.

That is amazing I had around .2 in Cedar Bluff. I do not believe we ever transitioned to all snow all night.

This was a flop for me. The radar is dying and I am at at maybe .2 of an inch of wet slop on the grass. I do not think I had snow fall without rain mixed in at any time throughout the night. Congrats to all who saw snow. It would be a miracle if we could get a good general snow for the whole area like i remember as a child. Growing up it happened quite often. It now seems like such an extremely rare event.

Wow I must be in the Hot Zone I am back to mostly rain. You know those areas in the city you drive by after you got a good snow and say, Wow they got nothing". Here I am.

Been at a rain snow mix for almost an hour But it does seem to be transitioning so I have got to get some sleep. Congrats to all who are getting snow!

It is pouring a mix of slop here in Cedar Bluff hopefully it will transition soon.

It worked I have some flakege.

Still all rain in West Knox. Hate to waste the precipitation. Maybe a little screaming at the sky will help.

I have been saying that since I was 18 when I developed enough awareness to know it was an obsession, now I am 58. Don't think I am ever going to give it up.

We need to get over this obsession of waiting for ice crystals to form in the sky. There I said it.

Still nothing but a cold rain in West Knox County. I am looking for Stovepipe to start seeing flakes consistently so I know it's near.
