1-30/2-1-26 Arctic Blast, ULL Snow Event
Carvers Gap replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
I was sitting here w/ the sun shining through the clouds, and noticed the sun disappear....started snowing almost immediately after. I have seen that happen only a few times...once out West.- 779 replies

Next weekend still looks like a pretty significant upslope event as yet another in a series of strong cold fronts impacts the region.

The 12z GFS is just one system after another, beginning on Weds.

I wouldn't completely rule out something even Weds or Thurs...one scenario is a slider w/ mostly rain. Another is a similar setup, but it backs the flow as the front passes. Might be room for a slp or weak wave to ride that front.

We gonna run this back again next Saturday as well....0z GFS and Euro have a pronounced upslope event advertised???

I was thinking maybe around 2:00PM for TRI and also a friend of mine noted this as well. I would think Knoxville is a hair later than that - I hope so, because I have one commuting!!!!- 779 replies

I would be really surprised if you don't do halfway decent w/ this...good elevation and just the Plateau's ability to squeeze every, last drop from the atmosphere.- 779 replies

Probably just the 3k NAM and its elevation issues...but the 3k put 40+" in the Smokies. That is Sierra Nevada level stuff.- 779 replies

The 0z RGEM is a decently marked increase. Shift west with short range models at 0z.- 779 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.- 779 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.- 779 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!- 779 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.- 779 replies

Carvers Gap replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
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.- 779 replies
