It's a worst of both worlds situation re models. The Euro was right with low QPF for me but the hi-res/NAM nest was right about the warm nose for the folks to the south and the NAM was right about the epic dry slot. The Euro kept everything cold. All in all, it's snow map will end up pretty close most likely. Fortunately the Euro's correct call about snow totals really boosted our western and southern valley folks.
Looks like the precip is maybe pivoting in a way that the mid-valley dry slot won't quite get here. I've already had two today, I can live without round 3.
Chattanooga area to Knoxville was the place to be for this one in the east. The heavy precip oriented perfectly and you avoided the big dry slot that rolled up out of Alabama along the Plateau above Crossville.
Looks like the dry Euro runs are going to verify here. Ironically it got onboard with 4+ inches here at the last minute. I'll be shocked if I get over 2.
The American models, barring a huge surprise, are going to be miserable failures.
It's rare to see it snowing in literally every direction from me. It looks like some development down towards Holston may start to fill in my area soon.
Feels like I'm maybe going to bust really low here, that snowhole is lined up sw of me and just keeps refusing to fill. Good luck to the others of you getting nailed, hopefully there's no mixing issues!
The snowhole was strange because it stayed thickly cloudy and still snowed moderately with 1/2 mile vis, but the flakes as noted by Holston, Shocker and Shawn, were just very tiny.
