The official record for Pennington Gap shows 2 events, a 3 and 4 inch event two days later. No idea if it's accurate or not. Shows them on the 16th and 18th. The cold front passage was one for the books. It was 63 here one day and had fallen to 1 the next day at midnight.

That's surprising to me. We had a 3 inch, 5 inch and 8 inch event in January and some -10s on multiple days. Another 7 inch event in early February with a -8 after it.

This continues to be so much like a warmer version of Dec 1983. The roller coaster temps, the light snow events with most precip falling as rain during warm ups. 1984 was a great Jan and Feb. Hopefully that is similar as well.

High was at midnight, but my afternoon hi is 18 degrees.

Downtown LaFollette during the NW flow earlier today while I was out.

18 with light snow falling this morning. Have a dusting out there.

Down to 34 with a mix falling here.

The official BOM observed for the last 3 days available (8th, 9th, 10th) has been COD/6, COD/5, and back to COD/6, but headed towards 8 (hopefully). It's 3 days behind so it could be in 8 now.

I use freeimage.host and then get the link.

Last night when it really started accumulating quickly.

Looks like I'm gonna finish up at about 1.5 inches. Shocked by this one.

Really heavy burst underway currently. Maybe the heaviest of the evening.

I'll forgive the RAP for its failure last system. I'm about to cross the 1 inch mark. Complete surprise.

Still pouring down quarters.

Travel impacts will be possible through early morning especially elevated surface such as bridges and overpasses. Drive with caution and slow down. $$

It's absolutely dumping here right now. Heaviest snow since November 10th.

Solid dusting down here. May be able to squeeze out 1/2 to 3/4ths inch.

For some reason a huge hole just opened up around me on radar. I was getting steady nickels and it just collapsed down to flurries with the returns going to my east and west. Hopefully it fills soon.

Sort of steady light snow now. Took probably 30-40 minutes of returns to get flakes down here.

32 with a passing flurry.

34 with returns approaching. I suspect it may be virga.

The RAP is giving an aggressive bit of snow shower activity overnight, but it suckered me once a few weeks ago. Thermal issues that time though.

The 18z HRRR tries to bring the clipper in a little further west initially with a band of snow from Scott Co Tn, through to about Maynardville and points east.

This was his quote about it. I could be wrong as you two know much more about it than me.
