    Yes, several cold waves hit in November and December. I can specifically remember going deer hunting in 1989 and it was snowing and in the mid 10s. That was around November 24th. By December we had a brief very cold blast around the 4th with highs in the 30ish range and lows in the low teens. Then it warmed up for a few days, and on the 9th another front moved through and it stayed cold the rest of the month until just before New Years. Unfortunately it was bone dry for the most part until later in the month. We got a massive arctic front around the 19th that laid down about 4 inches of snow in a hurry. Then upslope got me to around 6 inches. Above 2500 feet the upslope laid down a solid foot during the month and it didn't melt. You could skate on ponds the week of Christmas. December 23rd we had a high of near 0 and a low of -14. We had 6 days below 0 that month. Unfortunately the rest of the winter was bleh. We didn't have a really notable winter again until 1993. That long preamble aside, it was 15 this morning. In 1989 we had 4 22s, 3 21s, and 3 mornings in the teens. But due to some very warm weather in between cold snaps we only ended up around -1 for Nov 1989.

    Chilly 17 this morning. Reminds of November 1989.

    Had a little light snow over the last hour or so. Looks like some in SWVA and areas East of here as well in to NE Tn. Abington and Tazewell are reporting light snow.

    We were something like +10 for the first 12 days of the month. In the last few days it's already shaved down to +4 here. We will be well BN for the month by the time this cold snap eases up around next Monday. Not sure if we will be able to recover back to AN or not, the CPC basically closes the month out with normal to below normal temps in the 8-14 day range. The GFS and GEFS have additional cold shots black Friday into that Monday and also in the D14-16 range. I feel pretty good about November closing out BN overall. Usually, but not always, a sign that there will at the least be a stretch of very memorable winter weather in the valley region.

    I'm sure it will quickly warm, but it's 32 right now with precip getting closer. The models showing some ice may be on point.

    Horrific basketball loss. One of those days when we can't score from 3 but never really try anything but 3s.

    Ended up with what my grandpa always called a "chestnut log" snow. Where the logs and raised surfaces are white but the ground isn't. Sitting at 31 right now with a cold North wind at around 12.

    Progressed to a full on snow shower now. 30.2 degrees.
  9. John1122
    Few flakes floating around outside. 34 degrees. Feels like winter.

    They aren't as aggressive but the Euro and Canadian took small steps towards the GFS regarding potential snow in our region. Cold is looking to settle in for a decent stretch.
  11. John1122
    That said, the 18z GFS is a good snow event for the MidState and West Tennessee. The 12z was snowmageddon for Kentucky and the northern areas Plateau and West. So a winter storm is still on the table for somewhere in the region but we know that story.

    I'll take a good soaker just for the final nail in the fire coffin. There's been a fire a few miles from here all week. Gets smoky in the evenings.
  13. John1122
    The GFS rolled out a November to remember event that run. Would be a throw back to the 1950s when we played Kentucky in deep snow at Neyland around November 20th.
  14. John1122
    Honestly, mid November and beyond isn't super early season for the area. We've had some big snow and arctic cold in the November 15th time frame. That said the GFS has been pretty consistent with a big cool down coming around the 10th-14th time frame.

    After being AN for November 2020, it had a cool shot or two but didn't flip until after a +10 to +12 stretch mid-month. Then it went BN and led into the white Christmas. Stayed pretty cold for about 8 weeks here. Less so further east.
  16. John1122
    We had a similar stretch in November 2020, about 7 or 8 days of +15 to +20 weather. The month was +3 to +5 across the area after that.
  17. John1122
    Got .55 from that. Probably finished off quite a few trees but it was a nice, multi hour soaker.
  18. John1122
    Since I made that post the rain has picked back up and it's been a good moderate soaker for the last 20 minutes.
  19. John1122
    We've had a good hour and a half or so of moderate to heavy at times rain. It's down to light rain now but it's still coming down steady.
  20. John1122
    After a few spotty showers earlier, a nice moderate rainfall ongoing here as well. Looks like what Holston is getting is heading my way too. Hopefully it goes all the way into Virginia and North Carolina.
  21. John1122
    I'll take my chances with this outlook all day.
  22. John1122
    The high was 39 today. First high in the 30s probably since the March snow event.
  23. John1122
    I seem to recall snow around this time of year in 1995 but it was during the evening/overnight rather than during daylight hours. End of October/early November it's much more common. In 2014 we had a few inches Halloween night into November 1st. 1993 we had 3 inches on Halloween afternoon into early evening. We got snow from Sandy in 2013 on the 23rd I believe.
  24. John1122
    From about 9:45 when it was coming down at it's hardest.
  25. John1122
    Snowing here right now too.
