Changing precip types, then managed to get inside the dry slot for a long time. There's some snow but most models were showing me with 4 inches or so by now. That may be the case above 2000/2200 feet. I've not driven up there but my cousins at 2500 had 3 inches early this morning. Less than half that here.
Solidly in the not boom part of this one so far. Unless the afternoon improves this will be in all-time bust territory here. In 2018 I got 1.5 inches after being modeled 12+. This is competing with that one.
Temp continues to fall and the column is likely cooling. The huge flakes that were happening have gotten smaller, thicker in the air and the visibility has lowered. The huge flakes were some above freezing air from above me to the surface causing flakes to melt into each other.
I started as snow, changed to light rain, went to rain snow, then to snow and sleet, then 10 minutes of heavy rain, now huge flakes of heavy snow. 32.4 degrees.
It's often tough to switch back to rain once you get the huge flakes falling like that, as long as the precip is still falling pretty heavily. I'll bet you get a few inches down pretty quickly.
I'd guess you're good to go for the rest of the event. You're going to rack up I suspect, unless the warm nose MRX mentioned changes you to sleet or freezing rain. I actually started as snow and am now rain/snow mixed. I'd guess 150-200 feet above me is getting moderate snow right now. I wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't rain/snow mixed until noon or later while a few hundred feet away it just piles up. MRX mentioned that there wasn't much left to potentially cool the column any more for hours from now.
Euro managed to creep west with the next potential event. Still buries NC but has a 3-6+ from the West side of the Plateau East to the mountains. Super cold, high ratio snow if it happens like it was shown.
34.5/32. Probably can't go much lower without precip causing the cooling. It's gonna be eternity waiting on the band behind the low and hoping it holds together as modeled.
I would think that this one being an under the ocean eruption it probably didn't release as much ash and sulfur into the atmosphere as an eruption of that size otherwise would have. It was comparable in size to Mount Pinatubo which cooled global temps half a C.
If the upper trough Nashville speaks about holds together longer, more people to the east will do better. They usually collapse when the parent low transfers.
