    I'm hoping they drop into Tennessee. That's the arc the HRRR was showing laying down 3-5 inches from NW Kentucky to here, it pushed 1-2 inches into your back yard on a run or two.

    I don't know if it's the better radar coverage or not, but that band heading into Cookeville looks nice. It was showing up on the hi-res models yesterday but looks even better than they had it.

    20 miles N and a few hundred feet produces dramatic differences in East Tennessee. Upslope, downslope, warm noses, the works. I feel bad for MRX because a general weather forecast is different across the width of a county. Your weather is a lot different than the airport or west Knox.

    Steady nickels with some quarters. About 1/4th inch down. Went to Co-Op to buy straw, it's snowing hard in LaFollette but it's about 34 and it wasn't sticking while I was there.

    Ground is getting white here now. Temp is 32.4.

    The mountains around me are starting to get that foggy look. Not sure if there's snow upstream or not due to spotty radar coverage.

    Slowly picking up here. Nickels and dimes falling now. Sticking on cars that haven't been running, deck rails etc.

    I saw those soundings in the showers on the HRRR. Should be just blinding snow as the cells come by. Hopefully they get as many of us as possible.

    Light snow here. Not really showing up on radar really. 33 degrees.

    January and February 1984 were awesome here for winter weather. We had 14 inches of snow in January. A 4 inch event, a 3 inch event a few days later and a 7 inch event a few days after that. There were two days of well below zero cold and several more near zero. February was a roller coaster but we got a foot that month. 7 inches early in the month on the 6th and 5 inches on leap day. The early February event had a -7 low in its wake. Looking at observations it was a northern Plateau pattern. Oneida and Jamestown have similar numbers. Numbers taper off south or east of those areas but I never trust airport data. To many M's that happen around snowfall days.

    The hi-res models keep putting that band right over me. The RAP put down 3-4 inches on its extended 09z run. I'm hoping for an inch.

    A few strays are floating by out there right now. Lots of dry air still. The lapse rates are really steep in the convective snow showers the HRRR has been advertising. 20-25c temperature drop from the surface to 700mb.
  13. John1122
    MRX added the Northern Plateau counties to the WWA but mentioned that heavier convective showers are also possible into the Central Valley. Should be fun if you get a band or snow squall. The eastern mountains are golden.

    January 10th/11th 1997. There was 3-5 inches from the Plateau west. Not sure about Chattanooga, Tri, and Knox, very unreliable snowfall data from MRX during that time frame, but it shows those area with 1-2 inches. It was a very cold/high ratio snow. I had 4.5 inches. A coop station near me recorded .35 precip. The airports in East Tennessee recorded much less QPF, like .10 to .15. Probably an error but I am not sure. OHX has Crossville, Allardt and Jamestown at 5 inches on .4 precip Nashville at 3 inches. MEG has 3.6 in Memphis, and a general 3-4 across most of West Tennessee. It ushered in a very cold week.

    Euro took a huge step southeast with the system next week. Major Apps runner/winter storm for western forum areas vs a cutter up into Illinois at 12z. The trend this year has been East and South. Maybe another storm in the process of doing that. Another step like this last one and we are looking at something like what the GFS was showing that it lost.
  16. John1122
    HRRR has that aggressive band from Kentucky across my house and it pushed it down to North Knox around PowellVolz.
  17. John1122
    GFS with a best case scenario for mby. I've seen vigorous systems like this break off the Plateau and stream into Knoxville before.
  18. John1122
    If it unfolds like that people may score an inch or two in a hurry. It's beginning to show some heavy streaks in places outside the eastern mountains. Especially SE and E Kentucky. It will struggle with the exact placement of the heavy streaks but it shows the potential if you get under one.
  19. John1122
    Cash me out for winter if we get this. Most of this falls at D9 too, so not total fantasy land. Gonna be a huge storm for someone from Missouri to the Carolinas. Who will be a mystery. Bitter below 0 cold behind it. Not as extreme as 06z.
  20. John1122
    Same here, except for the parking lot piles. People don't often get their lots graded here. But north and east facing places still have snow. My back steps still have it and part of the yard.
  21. John1122
    RGEM ratio'd also looks pretty good for a widespread inch or two. If it doesn't melt tomorrow, and it shouldn't, I'll have maintained snow cover. My grandmother always said that snow that lays around in the shade is waiting on the next one.

    There were some notable upstream changes in modeling today that are starting to play out with some westward shift. We likely do not have enough downstream blocking to lock in a significant inland shift, but even a further slight shift and readjustment over the coast on the 0z & 6z suites would significantly increase accumulation potential for the eastern Valley. Obviously Western-Central VA/NC and the Blue Ridge would end up the big winners. Just hoping we at least get some kind of accumulation along the I-75 and I-81 corridors beyond a dusting. There are apparently going to be some Gulf Stream flight datasets for a later time that could further change modeling suites tomorrow. We shall see... The unfortunate thing is, 95 times out of a 100 without the blocking that's currently not there, the eastern half of North Carolina especially, would have almost no chance of being West of a storm.
  23. John1122
    The GFS was a massive shift west into North Carolina with the snow shield. I don't know if we can get another one like that, but if we did it would be a very nice event for East Tennessee even at lower elevations.
  24. John1122
    In model mania, the Euro bounced back a little for Eastern areas. Pretty good upslope in the mountains and around an inch or so elsewhere.
  25. John1122
    GFS whimpered again. I guess the ultra dry runs are going to come to pass.
