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.

It is indeed giving a new view with the snow coming straight at it. Looks like the accumulation increased pretty decently in just the last 10 minutes,

It's a sideways ripper for sure. Looks like 20-25mph winds at least.

The dropping temps are now to Jamestown. The WS there has now fallen from 44 to 41 in the last 5 minutes.

Been watching Jax's webcam and watching the road turn white. I love seeing it.

The Byrdstown weather station is dropping about as fast as I've ever seen one drop. Literally a half degree every 12-15 seconds as it updates. It went from 39 to 34.2 in about 2 minutes.

The Clarksville station I was looking at is now 12 degrees, heavy snow, wind at 20mph in 2 hours and 15 minutes post front.

The models that were more S to N oriented were the ones blowing the front through with no backside a few days ago.

Just by looking at the temps, and it could be meaningless. the cold is laying much more SW to NE than had been modeled, it was tending to show up almost S to N. Freezing at the Ky/TN border is due north of Mid 40s at the TN/AL border.

Clarksville station I initially started watching has fallen 20 degrees now in 54 minutes.

I've been to Bell Co quite often. Used to go play basketball with friends at Lone Jack school more years ago than I care to admit.

I'll have my fingers crossed for you. As the crow flies we're only 20 or 30 miles apart.
