GFS sniffing at a monster winter storm in the long range. It's been pretty good at spotting storms from a long way out. As Carvers and others have pointed out, we have some major cold lurking around and potentially AN precip as we head into the heart of winter.
-
MRX did explain what they think happened. The storm sped up and outran the forcing. That's why Middle Tennessee got dumped on for 12+ hours and eastern areas mostly faltered. I am sure that's happened before but I've never seen it explained before. It's not a common thing it would seem. You don't often see Nashville cash in big but Tri not be able to get there in what appeared to be the set up. Usually that only happens when there's a SE ridge like last year and it's snowing in the mud state and 50+ in the far east.
-
The temperature is dropping and the DGZ is as well. I'm not sure if the snow band back across the Plateau collapsed or if it's now falling from below the DGZ. I can say that snow is falling here and the radar shows nothing.
-
Yes. The similarities to 84-85 are remarkable. Dec 1995 was colder and more snowy if I remember correctly but 1996 was off to a similar start.
-
Not many people remember in the area, but there was a snow event on the Plateau and SE Kentucky on January 5th 1985. I had 3 inches, Williamsburg Kentucky had 3 inches and the Oneida station reports .40 precip with temps of 34-30. It was slightly drier and warmer further east.
-
I'm probably going to make it to 6 inches or more with these bands. It's probably 15:1 or better. Very fluffy snow.
-
Pretty good rates, up to quarter+ falling in this band.
-
Pretty good rates with nickles falling in this band. It's heading SE towards Anderson, Knox and Union and points east. Hopefully it holds together.
-
Another band moving in with some low end steady snow. Future radar keeps it around until about 10pm.
-
I live a few miles as the crow flies from Stinking Creek exit.
-
This showed how rare a state wide event really is. This one looked like a slam dunk and still didn't happen. The pattern being discussed in the pattern thread is one that can deliver that. Crazy that a week ago it was 70+ degrees and we hasn't been below freezing in nearly a week.
-
It's nice. The nw snow is smaller flakes and it's peppering down out there now. Looks like I might squeeze out 5 inches. It's a shame that the valley got warm nosed. Looks like some areas around 40 and north have a shot for some more backside showers. I assume our mid state guys had a good day.

Trying to upload a gif but my home internet is acting like dial up.
-
Another band is coming in now. Northwest to SE movement now as the back side is moving into the upper Cumberland Plateau.
-
Back down to light snow now, but man, that was fun for about an hour. Hopefully a few more pulses to go.
-
Coming down as hard as it has at any point. Closing on 4 inches.
-
Dumping quarters and half dollars here again. Not sure if this is the last charge or not.
-
Like the report from you and Shocker. Happens often on the Plateau on the back side of systems. Snow falls from lower in the DGZ and it doesn't show up well on radar. I have noticed the hour or hour and a half just before dark seems to often see a pick up on days like today.
-
How is your snow rate? Temp falling too?
-
Temperature is falling, down to 28. Rates are picking up, as is flake size. The hole on the radar filled in nicely. Hoping for 3 or 4 more hours of this. 3 inches so far. Only added 1/2 inch in the last hour after adding 1.25 per hour the first two hours.
-
After that front end thumping, rates have fallen off here and there's a huge break in precip that looks like it will last at least an hour or so. I was headed for glory and 6+ if not for that.
-
Just crossed the 2 hours of snowing mark, have 2.5 inches. Currently not snowing as hard as earlier but flake size went up to quarters and half dollars. 30 degrees.
-
Just got to town. Roads are just horrific and it's blitzing LaFollette. The hazy building you can see the outlne of is about 500 feet away.
-
It's just crushing down here. Visibility is around 500 feet.
