    Still looks very NNW with the flow at this point, even almost due N to S at times, after a small pivot to NW earlier. Not sure the actual NW flow has started or will. MRX mentioned something about it being NNW yesterday in the AFD. That may mean snow for different folks than a normal NW flow event, at least for now. The reason I mention this is I always say know your back yard here in the region. Small differences make big differences for a lot of back yards. How well you do or don't in NNW or almost N flow is worth filing away for the future.

    I know it's not been this way for everyone but for me this winter has been 10,000 times better than the last few. I went 4 weeks in the heart of winter with barely a flake the last few years. This year it's snowing at least some around every 4-7 days and I'm at a little over 14 inches on the season and we still have 3 weeks of very prime snow climo.

    Very strong winds, snow and blowing snow here now. Vis is maybe 1/2 mile. 30 degrees. Accumulating quickly now.

    The pattern looks great, and we see what happens when we are having precipitation events every few days and a -NAO/-AO and a big EPO ridge in Alaska.

    Flow went NW and snow has picked up considerably.
  6. John1122
    Only about 1/3rd inch so far. MRX actually updated and said they increased totals for my area. They must be planning on some development this afternoon and evening.

    Much like the Crossville obs, snowing here but nothing on the radar at all. Snow growth zone must be fairly low. 31 degrees.
  8. John1122
    Looks like Crossville is already reporting light snow and 32. 34 and waiting here.

    I just don't know what the computer that generates them sees to be honest. Even computer models don't show waffling precip types like that during events.

    There have been several that went over 2 feet LeConte in the last 15-20 years. I want to say a few went over 3 feet. I believe Sandy had some snow from the system itself involved. I once got connected to a feeder band off Michigan and it snowed 6 inches in 4 hours here. It was NNW flow instead of NW flow though. I believe Christmas eve to the 26th of 2010 was a long duration NWFS situation where around 2 feet fell at LeConte and lower elevations got 6-12.

    It will be a matter of getting parked under a good snow shower. I wouldn't be surprised to see some lower valley areas get a bonus like that and break an inch.

    Point forecasts in these situations always crack me up. It's like "rain before 1 am, then rain and snow between 2 and 3 am, then snow between 4 and 5 am, then rain between 7-8 am, then snow between 9-11 am."

    That MRX map is the most bullish one they've put out for me all year and I've had two 2-3 inch events and a 5 inch event.

    At one point overnight the roads across the area were all icy/slick per 911 office. But after it got above freezing everything was back to normal around 5am. We aren't close to the predicted high today as of now. It was supposed to be around 50. Currently 41.
  15. John1122
    Warmed up to 34 and have had some heavy rain, but in the last 15 minutes it's switched back to sleet. Very rare to see that happens once the rain starts.
  16. John1122
    Mixed with sleet now. It's rattling off my windows.
  17. John1122
    Big quarter +flakes starting to mix in with the nickels and dimes. Looks like down in Lafollette its coming down too.
  18. John1122
    Some heavier returns just about a mile to my west.
  19. John1122
    MRX mentions NNW flow. I do well with that and Walnut and Black Mountain here will generate a band that reaches north Knox at times in NNW flow.
  20. John1122
    32 and snow currently. Future radar has it lasting another 2 hours without changing over here but I'll be stunned if that happens.
  21. John1122
    Looks like the front edge of the precip is snow as it's reaching Fentress County. Still at 32 here.
  22. John1122
    I am expecting it to warm overnight but the predicted high of 41 today is actually 32 so far.
  23. John1122
    Around 1/2 inch here. It snowed very hard with half dollars for a while. The last two mornings in the 10s meant the roads got covered immediately.
  24. John1122
    Looks like snow in Crossville area and possibly soon here. I'm working on my mountain property this afternoon and just got into service and saw the radar.
  25. John1122
    It was 16 this morning and is still below freezing here. 2 days in a row in the teens, then cold rain falling should have ground Temps fairly set for this.
