I hope that downsloping doesn't effect the eastern areas like the GFS just showed. Nor the warm nose the southern areas. We just need one boardwide storm where no one has issues! It was close last year but those same eastern areas weren't quite cold enough.
The ICON was making a go for most of us, crushed western areas and was snowing in the midstate and north of 40 in the East as the run ended. Mixed south of 40 in East Tn with ground temps in the 20s.
The Tennessee Valley, happy for anyone from any state on the map here to post their obs personally, especially any the yellow touches. Not sure when precip may move back here, but still only 30.1 degrees. I wasn't expecting such a lull.
Sad to see all these runs of a storm getting sheared out like the 12z Euro. But I guess quite literally everything is on the table still, as models are showing every possibility from run to run.
UKIE is suppressed after being close to perfect at 0z. It's going to be a hard week of model runs unless they can by some miracle get a clearer picture of the different bits of energy.
Incredibly tough to model situation as little pieces of energy fly around, each model run seems to handle them with a small difference. That makes a big difference in the final outcome. The Canadian seems to be playing catch up, as it has often shown what the other models were showing the day before. It's slower and more amped and would be a major ice/sleet storm for us. Hopefully it's not correct.
Extremely icy now as freezing rain is predominant with some sleet mixed. Temp has went down 1.6 degrees with a stiff ne wind gust on occasion. Looks like the rgem is winning here as well. The NAM showed very little ice here at all, as did the hrrr. I've already exceeded what they showed.
The ICON shifted way north and nailed Tennessee. The 06z GFS ended up building a glacier late run after the next weekend storm passed (oddly except for all of Knox County) so the pattern may be loaded or the GFS may just be loaded.
Ground is white as are vehicles here but flake size went from quarters to small icy flakes, about to go full sleet. I doubt it gets back to snow at all.
Euro is a board wide hit but has some warm nosing up to about Knoxville in the East as the storm turns into an Apps runner. Big totals west side of 6+, 4-5 Plateau, 2-4 eastern areas.
Canadian stays in camp suppression and then fires up another piece of energy after this storm passes and gives us some snow.
Not interested in can kicking, but several models have the second potential snow even now.
