  1. It has been in the mid 60s to near 70 across the entire area 3-4 days before that first Miller A on Valentines.
  2. Look at the Euro and look at the Miller A tracks from Feb 1960. The Euro is slightly further north at the start. Here are some snowfall totals for Feb 13-14th 1960. Memphis 1.1 inches Jackson Tn 3.5 inches Nashville 6 inches. Murfreesboro 8 inches Chattanooga 9.5 inches Cookeville 10 inches Tri-Cities 11 inches Middlesboro Ky 14 inches Williamsburg Ky 15 inches Crossville 15 inches MBY 16.5 inches Norris 16.5 inches Tazewell 17 inches Monteagle 17.5 inches Knoxville 18.3 inches The 18th-19th event that followed it was a widespread 4-8 inch event.
  3. Eric Webb noted that the storm as modeled was the same setup as a massive March 1st 1927 event. That was a monster for East Tennessee. 8-12+ inches fell.
  4. It gives us a little bit of backside snow. But that was a miller A dream track.
  5. The Euro just had a great pass in what would likely be a nice winter storm here. I refuse to believe that a low dropping from 997 to 991 as it skirts the northern gulf coast from Louisiana over the panhandle of Florida would be precip free here.
  6. The lake was frozen over until yesterday and probably still was in parts. It generates a lot of fog when it's so cold and the air over top is so mild. It's foggy as heck here still right now, though most of the snow is gone, it's still holding on in a few places and along sides of the road in my area. That section around 134 was the area that had 11 wrecks in about 15 minutes when the freezing rain hit. 75 from the Campbell County border to the Kentucky border is an absolute menace.
  7. Today I observed rain, thunder and 9 cars on I-75 with flats from potholes.
  8. Just drove through a thunderstorm in Clinton.
  9. I've got around an inch left now. It's so foggy here you can't see a hundred feet with the warmer air over the remaining snow. It's went up to 46 now, after holding in the lower 40s all day. I expect the snow to be gone by morning mostly. When that fog arrives, I've always called it snow eating fog.
  10. It's 43 degrees imby with 3 inches of snow still on the ground. It's 56 about 6 miles away where the snow melted off.
  11. Probably time for a February thread. Most anything in the median to long range is in February now.
  12. The GFS kinda brought back winter in early February....this is a result of a 3 or 4 day winter storm that just slams us. Lots of sleet too. This would be a repeat of Feb 1996.
  13. It snowed truck beds full here. It was the first winter storm that I did a snow board and cleaned it off for measurements every three hours.
  14. There's been no sun here today at all. It was in the 20s this morning and froze up hard and clouded up over it. That kept the peak temp way down.
  15. Went out and did several measurements. Still close to 5 inches on the ground. Made it to 42 today but I'm back in the 30s now.
  16. Phase 7 in Feb = BN heights from coast to coast over the southern half of the country and appears to feature a -NAO.
  17. Went down to 26 this morning and clouded up. Finally made it to 40 for the first time in a loooong time. Snow pack is like wet cement under the cloudy skies. Roads are still extremely slick in areas where plows haven't reached and the sun doesn't shine.
  18. Some of the issue is that they take snow depth at a fixed time every day and don't count snowfall that happens that day as snow depth. You can look back at records and see things like 6 inches of snowfall on January 15th but snow depth will be 0 or a trace etc according to what time the snow fell that day. Even in the chart Flash posed there it says 6.3 inches of snow fell on February 1st 1985 but snow depth is only one inch. I quickly found another day where it says snow depth was a trace on a day with 5 inches of snowfall recorded. Now I think snow depth is recorded as whatever the snowfall is that day, or close to it with compacting etc factored into the equation.
  19. It got up to 38 today and it's 29 now. Neither feel cold after this last week.
  20. I don't see how they didn't manage this in the 1970s.
