    Looking at SSW events between 1958 and 2002, if the SSW happened in December/January in most cases the 60 day snowfall here was above average. If it happened in February or another month, snowfall was more often below average for the next 60 days.

    After getting .20 to .60 or so of freezing rain West Tennessee, West KY and NE Arkansas gets this.

    GFS shifted towards the Euro that run. Might have a thread called "AMZ's New Years Rockin Eve" or something like that if the west shifts can stop now.

    Forecast was 38 today. Made it to 30.

    Was at 12 by 9PM last night and thought I might make a run at 0. Only got down to 5 though.

    The EURO shifted south with it's frozen shield at 12z and isn't bad for West Tennessee. I suspect it and the GFS will eventually meet. It seems like it's been folding towards the GFS this winter.

    Canadian is a cutter, Euro/GFS are very close to the system we just had. Let's see if it sticks around. The system yesterday was constant for a week.

    She's still showing up 6 days out.

    I was wondering how those middle Tennessee streamers were doing. There looked to be some very heavy ones north of you.

    Just before sunset it was dropping huge flakes. I was at the Cumberland Trail head getting some drinking water out of the natural spring there. I picked up another 1/2 inch in that band. 5 total for the event. Still flurries flying around out there.

    It was pouring half dollars for the last 20 minutes or so. Huge flakes.

    I posted that and the sun was peeking out. As soon as I looked back outside it was like living in a fog cloud. Amazing how badly the NAM missed these snow showers. The Canadian suite nailed them.

    It's snowed all day here for the most part. Added 1/2 inch additional accumulation. 4.5 total.

    Shoot, it looks great to me. The indices scream winter. The mountain torque event is starting similar to the one that gave us the PNA boost to close out November. The Euro is consistently showing a low road storm in the 8-10 day period. The EPS has a decent mean around that time frame. The Canadian has hinted at a big storm around then too. Late in the Euro's run basically all of southern Canada was in the-15 to -20 range. That's great source air for us. I'm usually very skeptical after the past few winters sunk us. But this winter seems to have way more potential than any we've had since 2016 or so.

    Had a nice little 15 or 20 minute band work through. Lots of dime sized flakes with a few nickles. Dry as dust though. 17 degrees.

    Merry Christmas, fellow weather enthusiasts. I believe I've "known" some of you guys for nearly 15 years now. Even those of you who've not been around as long, I'm glad to see you here every day. 3 or 4 inches of snow on the ground today is like 10 any other day. We only get to experience this in our back yards once every 8 to 15 years depending on where you live. To our west valley folks, hopefully we are just at the beginning of a prolific winter. We aren't getting extremely cold yet or anything but this system just shows that sometimes timing is all it takes. Hopefully your window comes open during this rare -NAO/-AO combination. If the Pac cooperates as advertised during the first two weeks of January, I think you'll get some fireworks. 80-85 percent of the seasonal snow that falls in the region falls beyond December. So a ton of winter left.

    4 inches exactly this A.M. No model got it exactly right. But blending the Canadian/RGem and Euro/GFS and meeting in the middle was about right imby. The HRRR probably got it a few times but with it running every hour it was bound to eventually. I'd guess the RGEM was spot on for the Central eastern Valley but too high the further West you went.
  19. John1122
    I believe the heavy snow showers in Northern middle are the ones that the models eventually see laying it down on northern Cumberland, Southern Overton, Southen Fentress and maybe over to Holston in Morgan County. When they are on the board the HRRR keys on them and lays the hammer down with them. I'd guess it will show a streak of nice future accumulation from the band that was rolling towards Powell a few minutes ago.

    Rolling down.
  21. John1122
    Absolutely pouring here now. Heaviest since the synoptic snow left.
  22. John1122
    Accuweather minute cast pretty much nailed the end time of the synoptic snow here earlier this evening. Gonna monitor the next hour and see if it changes or if this band overhead moves on before the 69 minutes are up. Lafollette is a bit SE of me, so I'll shave 10 minutes off the time and see where that gets me.
  23. John1122
    I've added almost a half an inch of fluff in this band that's been streaming overhead for about 40 minutes now. Its ultra high ratio stuff, probably close to 20:1 right now. Temp is 22, reminds me of upslope.
  24. John1122
    Looks like there are some real beefy bands in northern middle right now too.
  25. John1122
    The DGZ is where the atmosphere reaches -10 to -20c. If there's high RH in that sector snow flakes will form. That's why snow can fall from below radar beams with the upper levels are really cold. You can even go out when it's below 0 at the surface at times and flakes will seem to form out of a clear blue sky. That's because the DGZ is very low at that point and any moisture in the air turns to snow flakes.
