I peaked at -1 unless it goes up as the night progresses. Sun is down behind the ridge to my west now and any warming is over for today from it.

There are two modes for New Years, I'm in Chattanooga and it snows back home, or I'm in Chattanooga and there's a severe weather event for New Years. There's rarely any middle ground.

Sitting at -2. Below 0 highs are extremely rare here. I can remember maybe 2 or 3 of them.

I hate to hear that. It's happened to me before. Hopefully you can find the line and get it thawed. I've had to wait out entire cold spells in the past. Now if it's below 10, I leave water dripping in multiple faucets.

Just had a -31 degree windchill in a gust.

It just won't warm any. Not sure if I'm going to get above 0 today at this rate. It's now -3.

Currently-2 with about 1/3rd inch of snow added since I went to bed last night.

Small, painful flakes out there. 21 degrees and it's like getting sandblasted.

Extremely strong wind and blinding snow right now. Probably 35+ gusts. The radar snow is about to race away though.

Around 1/2 inch down. Temp is 27 degrees.

34 and a dusting down. Flakes are getting smaller and the snow heavier. Winds are NW at 21 with gusts to 28

I assume that the snow started in the low 40s because the 850s are frigid, above the top of the Plateau and they moved faster than the surface cold. Basically all levels above 3500 feet were able to transport the cold overhead faster than the low level cold could creep through.

Now 39. Flakes are quarter sized and sideways.

I've switched to heavy snow at 41 degrees.

Finally starting to turn the corner. That limb wrecking burst of wind must have been the front passing. Temp dropped 1.6 degrees in the last 5 minutes.

The wind is just sending limbs all over the place here. Unfortunately is a strong SW wind transporting very heavy rain over my area. The GFS was very very wrong with the precip location in regards to the front. The worst performance of the models this time out, after being one of the best before. Looks like the RGEM, which was skeptical for this area as soon as it got into 84 hour range, might be the most right. The HRRR was way off too. I'm almost 30 degrees warmer than it had me as midnight approached on runs earlier today.

The cold hung up majorly on the Plateau and the precip shield got back out ahead of the front. Hoping for a good dusting at this point. The cold push will eventually get here but it's dropped it's speed by 75 percent over the last three hours.

The rain has finally picked up here to moderate. I hate wasting the QPF, looks like most places are seeing about .2 before any changeover.

The NAM and GFS also have the clipper, looking pretty good as it heads in Monday.

The cold is definitely hung up on the western Plateau. It was ripping across the state and now it's creeping.

The RGEM also has a healthy clipper at the end of it's range on Monday.

The Canadian is back on with the clipper for Monday evening. Gives a nice 1-2 inch snowfall to the area.

If it doesn't dry up, there's be some nice snow bands but I won't be surprised if it starts to as the low pulls further away. I'm 99 percent sure the GFS is not going to verify, even though it stuck to it's guns to the bitter end.

Oneida has now started dropping, so it's getting close to me. Probably 30-40 minutes away.

There's a lot of "mist" reports with very cold temps like Tellico talked about yesterday. That may mean an icy mess.
