That's an all-time Winter Storm for Kentucky and a good portion of Tennessee. 14-24 inches for the Northern half of the forum west of the Plateau. I only manage 11 inches before 1.5 inches of freezing rain falls on top of it. (Round 1)
-
Not sure what it is about Valentine's Day, but +/- 2 days on either side of it has many many many historic winter storms.
-
Epic GFS run inbound for the parts of the forum, especially 40 and n.
-
The models are looking second half of February 2015ish right now. But the epic cold is looming to our NW and doesn't quite get all the way here.
-
Ends as freezing rain.
-
The Euro is beautiful.
-
The GFS throws 8-10 inches of QPF over the area and in some places, nearly half of that is frozen of some form or another.
-
Severe winter storm for a lot of the forum area on this GFS run. Epic freezing rain in my area. Heavy snow western areas and Kentucky. Insane with 2.5+ inches of freezing rain Plateau, SE Kentucky and SW Virginia. 2 feet of snow in Eastern Kentucky. The model maxes out at 2.5 inches of freezing rain but it appears that 3+ qpf falls. It's inside 10 days when it starts now. The boundary stalls and floods, then creeps south and give the incredible ice totals. Then it loads up and does it again. 8-12 inches of snow in Western areas.
-
The 18z GFS is ridiculous for areas just north of the Ohio River. 3-4 feet of snow.
-
We are on the edge of glory or heartbreak. We either watch the Ohio river get buried while we get soaked, or we get waves of winter weather. Models aren't quite sure yet just how much se ridge we get.
-
The Euro gave it ago north of 40 across the whole area basically.
-
Heck of a storm blew through a few minutes ago. Approaching 3 inches of rain from this.
-
Nearly 2 inches of rain and currently pouring down in buckets. Where was this when it was cold? It's still crazy to me that Florida, South Alabama and south Louisiana managed to get double digit snowfall totals and bilzzard conditions while we were mostly high and dry.
-
Another major temp bust today. Low was predicted to be 32, it was 24. High was predicted to be in the 50s, it was 39 so far.
-
The Euro AI has a big Tennessee/North Carolina snowstorm in roughly the same time frame the OP models have been showing it mainly along the Ohio River in Kentucky and adjacent states to the north.

Historic Tennessee Valley Cold, Snow, and Ice Events
John1122 replied to Carvers Gap's topic in Tennessee Valley
There's still creek ice here, but the last of the snow melted off today. Snow on the ground for 24 days in a row here. Coldest January since 1988 East of the Mississippi. Definitely historic for it's length of cold. No record cold, no record shows unfortunately. -
It was in phase 3 when that storm hit.

GFS vs Euro
-
The Euro took the system it showed at 12z, suppressed it and managed to snow in Alabama and the Eastern Carolinas. Then a clipper falls apart as it reaches here. Sound familiar?
-
Temps are much lower tonight vs forecast again. Forecast low was 34 imby, it's 27 currently.
-
Still in the Euro vs GFS battle. The GFS keeps extending the warmth. The Euro is open to giving us some winter after February 8th/9th.
-
Peak of it here about 45 minutes ago.
-
Around an inch here but the precip has now dropped south of me. 33.4 degrees.
-
More and more snow mixing in now. The temperature 500 feet above me has dropped 3 degrees in the last hour.
-
850s are below freezing above me and I'm at 34 degrees, but there's a layer around 925 that's nearly 40 degrees, so it's mostly rain here so far, with a few flakes making it down.
