46.4 this morning. Hopefully we don't pay for this in October.

49 this morning. Already in the mid 60s and still daylight out.
-
What a great day, 54 this morning and 74 this afternoon for the high. That's impossible to beat in August.
-
My temp forecast for early next week is 70/52 for Tuesday. Rocking some early October feel in August is hard to beat.

Absolutely frog strangling storm out there currently. It was so humid, I figured something had to give at some point.

My brother said he was good in Hixson, because he lives on a hill top. But he said there was pretty deep water in the area around Middle Valley and 153, which are basically the two ways in and out for him.

I found a CPC article about it that acknowledges it as a La Nina year. These are the La Nina years listed on the PSL/NOAA website. La Niña 1904 1909 1910 1911 1917 1918 1925 1934 1939 1943 1950 1951 1955 1956 1962 1971 1974 1976 1989 1999 2000 2008 2011 2012 2021 2022

It's listed as a moderate Nina on some sites. I was surprised to see that it had changed on the PSL site.
-
I was looking up ENSO years and not surprisingly, I've started finding conflicting data. The PSL NOAA site now says that 1995-96 was ENSO neutral. I've always known it to be a Nina. It has several other conflicting instances as well.

For Knoxville, location is important. North Knoxville will generally do better than other spots, it's generally more elevated. Also, in addition to key missing data, the airport isn't in Knoxville really. It's SE of Knoxville in an extremely densely paved area. It's warmer and records less snow than folks do even a few miles away now.

I'm sure it's entirely coincidence, but we are hitting the 30 year legendary/epic winter cycle year here in 25-26. The winters of 1935-36, 1965-66, and 1995-96 were all given to stretches of very abnormal cold/ above average snowfall. I know in 1935-36 the NE Pacific was on fire, 3c AN. Western areas did the worst in that winter, but Memphis still got over 10 inches of snow Dec-Feb. Nashville got 19.2 inches from 4 big events. Knoxville had 28 inches that winter. Chattanooga had around 21 inches that winter. My area had 39 inches that winter. 12 in December, 9 in January, and 18 in February. The North Pac was also warm in 1965-1966. January of 66 was absolutely one of our harshest winter events. Most of the state was 5 to 20 below zero after a few big snow events. Alabama set their all time state record low then, when a small town NE of Huntsville hit -27. 1995-95 delivered epic winter here but the north pacific was cool that season. I'm sure a coincidence but an odd one. As for Carver's question about general sst vs blocking, I've found that is a loose correlation at times, mainly even when we get favorable sst in a region that would normally promote blocking, we often still don't get it. I'll look into La Nada winters but I believe enso neutral leans towards AN temps as a rule.

Got an inch in 30 minutes earlier today with a storm. Lots of thunder now but it's to my SW so that one is likely going to miss me. There's a bit more convection in Ky north of me.

71 for the high today with around .39 inches of rain. The rest of the week looks pretty good too.
