    Time lapse from the Elk Viewing Tower which is a few miles East of me as the crow flies. You can see some of the snow showers that rolled through today. One or two were pretty impressive. https://hdontap.com/index.php/video/timelapse/tennessee-elk-live-cam

    Yes, it wasn't an elevation thing here either. The same elevation had both bare spots and snow on the ground in spots right beside each other. It was like tiny areas a mile or so wide had heavier snow than areas on either side of it. It was that way along a good 10-15 mile stretch of Cumberland Mtn. I've never seen that here before.

    That's how it is here too. Even the mountain tops will have 1/2 mile of snow cover, then little or nothing then more snow cover.

    Had some nice snow showers this afternoon. One is underway right now. Temp is in the upper 20s.

    Had a solid dusting here this morning. My teacher friend was mad school wasn't late because of it.

    I'm pretty firmly convinced Knoxville's main problem is the recording of snowfall rather than that big of a reduction in the snowfall. It's especially problematic near the airport, which is the warmest/least snowy area in any direction from the airport due to the heat island effect. However, there's far too frequently missing data, even now, to get an accurate official average imo.

    The March of 1975 follow up Nina I talked about yesterday that had three snow events here, there was also to 14-16 inches of rainfall. across the valley February was also really warm around this time and nearly an inch of ran fell. A few days later it was really warm and 1.5 inches fell. By the first of March cold arrived and it was cold most of the month. It finished around 4 degrees below normal. Jan 1975 managed double digit snowfall totals along the Plateau while being AN on temps, as there was no real extreme type cold that month. It's quite similar to this winter, there was 3-4 inches of snow East of 75 like this year. The temps were slightly cooler in January than in Jan 1975 but there was no extreme cold which I mark as highs in the 10s and lows below 0. So really very similar weather and that same similarity looks like it's on the models now.

    March of 1975 is probably the best of the follow up Ninas for Winter Weather. There was a widespread 2.5-6 inch event that even hit valley areas near mid-Month. There were several other snowy days that month, with an early month 2 inch event imby. 2018 the snow got into the valley areas. I know Jed had 2 inches from an event and I think others further south pulled it off. Eventually March 1960, April 1987, March 1993 etc will repeat. Hopefully we are all around to see it.

    Our last follow up weak Nina was 2017-18, March was active that month with several snowy days.

    I'd like to see a big March hitter. 3-5 inchers in March used to be common here. With the upside of course for big big storms.

    Made it home from Chattanooga. Still snow on the ground here in shady or north and east facing areas.
  12. John1122
    There was an inch back home this morning per my cousin. That put me at about 21 inches on the year. Not sure if there are any events left but I wouldn't be surprised if we get another chance or two.

    Snow has nicely filled back in from all the way down towards Pikeville/Athens up to Cumberland, Roane, North Knox, Anderson. Scott, Union, Claiborne and Campbell County, JKL put up a SPS for widespread 1 to up to 3 inches for Bell County up to Harlan. If future radar is right, a nice band will move across the valley around 5-6 am. It's been trying to clear it off the Plateau since 1am and it's not gone away there, so it may be around longer than it's being shown on there for the Knox corridor.
  14. John1122
    Looks like it shifted south of Campbell for now but there's a band in Scott county that looks like it will move back over. It snowed for a good 7 hours or so back home. I'd guess for now 1 to 1.5 inches fell based on returns and the fact that downtown LaFollette down around all the pavement looks like it has an inch or so on the non-paved surfaces and roof tops. Also saw a few car driving by with what looked like around an inch on them.
  15. John1122
    No one awake back home to talk to, but looking at a Webcam from LaFollette there appears to be about an inch on non-paved surfaces. Snow appears moderate. It's been rolling over the same area on radar for hours. I hate missing snow back home.
  16. John1122
    Always like to save these to look back on later. Looks like it's coming down decently down in LaFollette.
  17. John1122
    Not sure if Holston is awake but it looks like it's in his area as well.
  18. John1122
    Still pretty decent snow going on back home. Looks like it's affecting traffic on 75 at this point. Been good returns for the last two hours or so on radar. The JiC index strikes again.
  19. John1122
    Reports from the home front of a decent snow shower rolling through. Around 45 here in Hixon.
  20. John1122
    It was cloudy and around 44 when I left the house at 1 for Chattanooga, it's 60 and mostly sunny here in Hixson now.
  21. John1122
    The GFS is back on board. The JiC (John in Chattanooga) correlation is still strong. I think models are flopping because I have to go to an event Friday night, which is normally the day I'd head to Nooga, so I have to wait til Saturday to go.
  22. John1122
    The cliff sides here still have heavy ice on them. It was in the 10s just three nights ago and lows have been in the low 20s the last two.
  23. John1122
    This reminds me of a storm from Feb 2014 that just was all over the place on models. The GFS and Euro could never agree. It kept showing a late bloomer in the Gulf that ended up going up the Eastern Seaboard but too far East for most of us. As late as 24 hours out models were showing between 1 inch and 1 foot across the area.
  24. John1122
    The GFS keeps trying.
  25. John1122
    Very nice for Eastern areas. We need some consistency from modeling before I can buy in too much though.
