It's rocking and rolling here now. Strong winds and heavy snow. Winds are NNW at 18 with gusts hitting 30. The snow is coming in sideways.- 300 replies

Schools closed here already. Probably have a few hours to go with the snow. The low is just creeping along which is helping.- 300 replies

The radar can see the lower atmosphere better the closer precipitation is to it. Snow, especially when it gets the NW flow component, comes from lower in the atmosphere. The Plateau is about as far away from each radar site in the area as possible. Especially Jamestown, and the radar beams can basically shoot over the snow at times on the edge of its range.- 300 replies

The Plateau eats snow on the radar. It's even worse over Jamestown to Western Campbell.- 300 replies

They are pretty thick here. Virtually no hunting pressure and plenty of TWRA food plots. They built one big one very close to my property.- 300 replies

I believe this is all still synoptic snow rather than NW flow snow. My precip is moving basically west to east and it looks like there's even a SW component to it at times. Looks like the NW flow snow is out west still with the streamers pointed towards Nashville.- 300 replies

Snow has really picked up and is moderate with around 1/2 mile visibility. Hopefully we can get several hours of this after dark.- 300 replies

I think it was February 2015 when the EPO drove us into Polar Vortex land and it just blasted MJO, +NAO and all that into near meaninglessness. -

If we can get an EPO ridge where that one is depicted we tend to mute then MJO to a large extent. The EPO can he epic or stink though. It it's west based at all we get the SE Ridge. -

About to drive up to 2800 feet above my house here. I suspect there might be at least a heavy dusting up there. Maybe more. Probably 30 degree or so at that elevation.- 300 replies

Nice quarter + sized flakes rolling down now. Because it's day time and the ground is warm, not much sticking yet. I'd guess 300 feet above me will be.- 300 replies

Light snow here. Looks like the band that was pivoting my way kinda hit the breaks and really blossomed to the west and south in the mid state.- 300 replies

I hope you can pull off some decent rates today if nothing else. I've seen NNW flow here fire up bands that stretch all the way into Northern Knox. The next batch of precip appears to be moving almost due East. If it doesn't dry up coming off the Plateau Roane through Knox will likely see snow from it.- 300 replies

My data on 850s was from 8am. It appears that as of 9am the 850 freezing line had cleared the entire state besides Bristol eastward. I wouldn't wager your temps will do anything but fall the rest of the day.- 300 replies

It is about on schedule. It was a slow process. I started dropping about 2.5 hours after Shocker. The 850 line runs from about Cumberland Gap to Murphy NC right now. It's probably past you and only clipping East Knox. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the precip today, even in the valley, is snow when its heavy, drizzle otherwise.- 300 replies

Short range models and hi-res models really nailed that changeover from Bowling Green down into Middle Tennessee.- 300 replies
