The further east you go the worse winters have been lately. They have only gotten two measurable snowfalls in that 1003 day span since February 8th 2021, and one of those was .3 inches in March 2022.

The UKIE is back in for now with snow fall in the Northern Plateau/SE Ky area/SW Va areas too. Hopefully this trends back towards what the Euro/UKIE were a few days ago with a widespread event.- 1,263 replies

The GFS and Canadian join their hi-res cousins with rate driven snow over the Northern Plateau and ice over more areas.- 1,263 replies

The PAC NW is supposed to get 7-10 inches of rain and 60-80 inches of snow over the next 16 days. When you see that there, we're rarely going to be getting much in the way of winter weather, as it means a very hostile pacific.- 1,263 replies

Not sure if it's wrong but the midstate fares well on the UKIE still on Pivotal.- 1,263 replies

If this goes anything like normal, the GFS will go all in on the Euro/UKIE/Canadian solution and as soon as it does, the Euro/UKIE will lose it.- 1,263 replies

The Euro is also onboard for a major winter storm next weekend. I hope we can reel one of these in instead of having it collapse.- 1,263 replies

The Canadian is a severe severe winter storm next weekend with a lot of freezing rain/snow. The UKIE is also a major snow event for the Plateau and west. The GFS isn't having it still though. I'd guess the GFS is probably better and the more likely result but I'll hope not.- 1,263 replies

Feb 1989 was cold and snowy here. It has an early cold/wintery period, a warm up and a frigid and snowy close. We ended the month was just over 13 inches of snowfall. We had a 3 inch, 2 inch and 7 inch event over the last 10 days of the month. We were roughly -3 for Feb even with a major mid month warm up.- 1,263 replies

The maps they put out are horrible and worse, they change. The last huge blunder, and I noted it at the time, the March snowfall maps from our big storm were off by several inches at first, then the final map ended up just blanking all of Scott County, where I know for a fact 6 to 8 inches fell. I had 11 inches and it showed 10, then the final map showed 3 or 4 inches. 1995-96 for the longest time showed Tri-Cities with around 3 inches total for January and a similar amount for February. I have the Knoxville News Sentinel that I posted for the February 1996 storm and it clearly says many areas had 14-16 inches, including Knoxville. The official record for McGhee-Tyson for February 1996 is 0.9 inches.- 1,263 replies

I've not read it all yet, but there's a direct relationship for MJO location and strength during winter months with a falling QBO/Easterly QBO. They haven't figured out what causes the link and models struggle with it more than normal because they don't know yet what's the connection. Only that it has a 95% correlation and it definitely happens.- 1,263 replies

December 2023 Mid/Long Term Pattern Discussion: Let it Snow!
John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
The second storm takes a perfect track but isn't too strong, which would help with WAA. Nice run for south of 40 especially for that storm. But generally 1.5 to 4 inches across most of the forum with a two storm total of 4-10 inches being fairly widespread.- 548 replies

Just a beast of a winter storm on the Euro again this run. Great run for areas along and south of 40 in middle and western areas, with the Plateau and Mountains getting crushed along with SE Ky and SWVa.- 548 replies

GFS has a nice little Eastern areas 40 and north/Northern Plateau thumper at 147-156. Consistent storm signal there but this whole fall and winter most storms have under performed on QPF with a couple of exceptions.- 548 replies

Fall/Winter Banter - Football, Basketball, Snowball?
John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Judging by several models, Monterey at 1880ft has a good shot at 1 inch+. The 3k NAM is giving 4-5 inches above 2800ft+ on the mountain above Caryville I was talking about, but it's liable to be very sketchy road wise there. Especially with 3-5 inches. I'd guess it probably ends up closer to the 1-2 inch range. It's very similar to the mountains around Wise in that it's oriented similarly and just seems to maximize snow opportunities. -
