  1. This was always going to be a slow burn for everyone. It's snowed for almost 6 hours here to get 2.5 inches and I'm over performing what I expected. It's going to be a duration event more than a huge burst event. Further east may get the burst. But for most it's more that it's going to be really cold and average probably 1/4th to 1/2 inch an hour for 10 to 16 more hours.
  2. Mine were just tiny tiny flakes for an hour or two but they went up to nickels, then quarters and have been a mix since.
  3. They could try that but the text said half! I think it even said less than a half inch. 911 scanner here is already starting with the donuts on the highway calls.
  4. I guess it's NW flow with the Arctic air but it's still rolling quarters and nickels here. Down to 21.6 degrees. It's extremely fluffy, a normal snowball sized handful gets you about a ping pong ball sized one. I've somewhat overperformed the half inch forecast now.
  5. Thank you. The general radar sites look wonky.
  6. Can anyone tell which way the snow is actually moving? I don't have radar scope. But it looks like it's moving SW to NE then NW to SE over my area. Strange looking. According to the HRRR it should start moving NE to SW by 9 or 10.
  7. Always try to add these for time/temp stamp when going back later to look at these.
  8. Heaviest snow of the day so far right now. Quarters rolling down with probably just under 1/2 mile vis. So between moderate and heavy snow.
  9. Steady nickels falling. Close to an inch down now. 24 degrees.
  10. The 18z Euro maintained its 4+ Plateau east, with 2.5 in Chattanooga.
  11. Per the HRRR it shouldn't even be snowing now. But around 9pm it shows snow backing from SW Va across east Tennessee and it is at its heaviest and most widespread from probably 3am to 9 or 10am.
  12. In town where there was no snow earlier. Everything is covered and it's ripping.
  13. Flake size here has went from about the diameter of a pencil eraser, to about the size of dimes and nickels now. Temp is now down to 27.
  14. RGEM remains rock steady with 4+ inches from the Plateau eastward, and 2+ for Chattanooga. Big run of the ICON and it's fallen close to in line with other models after being far east all day yesterday and the day before.
  15. Thanks, I was curious about how heavy it might be, it looks impressive on radar.
  16. Gonna see who wins the war, all models (except maybe the NBM) or my point forecast. (my high today has been 29) This Afternoon A 40 percent chance of snow showers. Cloudy, with a high near 34. North wind around 5 mph. Tonight Snow showers, mainly before 3am. Low around 11. Wind chill values between 1 and 6. North wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
  17. The 18z HRRR snowfall output looks almost exactly like the Euro but with a little less in the southern valley around downtown Chattanooga.
