I hate ULL setups. They (edit)can be really, really good or really, really bad. Pretty much Tennessee basketball this year…- 434 replies

I hope the narrative is this…Carvers was really slow to get on board with the best snow we have had in years. LOL. I am still not on board, and might not be until I see the whites if it’s eyes! Haha.- 434 replies

My go-to models most winters are the RGEM and Euro at this range. The AIFS is part of that club now.- 434 replies

I think somehow the Plateau finds its way to 3-4" this weekend either with upslope or initial orographic lift w/ the main wave of precip.- 434 replies

Reminds me of 17-18 at the end of December. JB mentioned that the last half of February might have a strong STJ component along w/ cold. I tend to agree with him though I haven't looked at the Weeklies today. I kind of think nickel and dime stuff is the rule for right now. It is crazy cold with low wind chills outside right now. I really don't even want to think about the weekend cold!- 434 replies

Carvers Gap replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
That looks reasonable, but I would still cut maybe 50% of my totals in western Sullivan Co. I think the mountains are gonna get hammered due to orographic lift. Anywhere w/ good NW facing slopes could score. This "should" wring out every, last drop. Bitterly cold air masses have held surprises in NE TN. I don't like the 18z GFS trends, but the 18z RGEM looks reasonable. Anyone know when these vortices and air masses are over NA where they get sampled better? I think Tellico noted we would see one last truncation w/ that. I agree.- 434 replies

Knoxville has been beating us pretty badly of late - way more during the past 4-5 years. This current pattern is definitely a pattern we can score with in NE TN. No idea if that actually happens. I just don't like the dynamics w/ this current setup. I have been burned both ways - it over performing or under performing. A strong low on a cold front is notoriously tough to forecast. The partial phase I don't think is worked out quite yet. But I do agree...a strong ULL crashing into NE TN will often produce light snow regardless of setup...the bigger amounts I don't trust. Lighter amounts appear probable.- 434 replies

I would guess you are good, and fair point. Some of this is homegrown dynamics w/ the ULL. However, the runs w/ the big amounts appear to be grabbing an Atlantic fetch. I am beyond skeptical of that.- 434 replies
