    Found it on this page...

    Yeah, I kind of thought its as cool to see the western TN snow streak. Some modeling just nailed that. Honestly, that amazes me that computer modeling can do that.

    Some cool satellite photos. Snow banding/squalls are evident over NE TN, W NC, and SW VA.

    Well, when we hit 63 on Monday...it is going to continue its journey along the water cycle after being in suspended animation today while on the ground. Springs snows rarely last long due to the sun's angle. Tonight, it should help lows get Into the low teens and/or single digits depending on location. Easily the most wintery day of the year IMBY...and it is March. Wind is howling, ice cycles are hanging from the house, snow squalls moving through, sun shining, and wind chills in the low teens.

    This is easily our best storm of the season in west Kingsport. Probably between 4.5-5" of snow here at the house and a solid 5" of snow on the groomed surfaces of the golf course. Sledding is good today. I have almost enjoyed these snow bands as much as the storm itself. Going to be COLD tonight!!!

    I was watching for downslope traits, and didn't see them. I was up late when it changed over, and that dry pocket came through. There was seemingly a small bit of rotation to it. Kind of cool and was kind of not! LOL. It almost looked like that slipped over the apps into NE TN and then headed for SW VA...and it keep moving which is why it didn't really seem like a downslope deal. Very dynamic storm to pull something like that off! Glad you got some snow over that way.

    Grassy areas are crazy deep. The golf course might have 6" in the short rough. There is more in the neighborhood if you get away from trees.

    I have 4" of snow on the back patio table and 5" in the garden. I wasn't over 3-3.5" in any of those places until that band roared through. It dropped a solid, additional 1-1.5" of snow here.
  9. Carvers Gap
    Yeah, I think my totals are pushing 3.5-4" now. I will go get a measurement in a sec. Nice way to close out this storm.

    This is old school stuff. Get a nice coastal and then it snows for hours after as the moisture is just wrung out of the atmosphere.
  11. Carvers Gap
    Man, it is just puking snow under this band. With the wind blowing, visibility is down to about 1/8" of a mile or less.
  12. Carvers Gap
    Yeah, that band is stout. Just pouring snow. Probably will pick-up another 0.5" or more.
  13. Carvers Gap
    We managed to to get to 3 to 3.5". We would have gotten more had that little area of dry circulation not rotated through last night. It wasn't downslope I don't think. It was location to the track and that little mesoscale circulation of dry air which rotated through. Overall, I thought models did really well with the exception being last minute trends.

    I have seen bigger snows, but this is easily the biggest snow of the year. A good thump! Now on to the first week of April - LOL...sort of. Going to bed ya'll. It's been good!
  15. Carvers Gap
    Nice band for sure. We are at about 1/8-1/4mi visibility. Winds are brisk under that band as well.
  16. Carvers Gap
    The thing is, I think the rapidly deepening phase of the slp is now occuring. I can see the bands getting much heavier around TRI.
  17. Carvers Gap
    What is crazy, the NAM 12k is massive as are almost all of the other 6z short range models and the RAP and HRRR. Makes me wonder if they got some bad data. I tend to agree w dwagner that it is moving to fast to drop that much snow.
  18. Carvers Gap
    Heavy snow here at the moment.
  19. Carvers Gap
    The HRRR isn't too far off the 3k FWIW....and it fits the mesoscale look posted by 1234.
  20. Carvers Gap
    Likely correct. The reason I looked is that I noticed the bands tightening up around TRI and intensifying. If I get 2-3", I will be happy. That will be the most we have had all season.

    3K NAM went nuts at 0z.
  23. Carvers Gap
    Good find. Looks like the west side of this has filled back in and is a little more organized. Send me some thunder, and I am good for the season.
  24. Carvers Gap
    Light to moderate snow has resumed here. Ground is turning white. Not the huge rates of TYS, but probably the best we have seen all winter. There is a mix of fine flakes and medium size flakes. There is almost no wind. edit: temp is 33.1
  25. Carvers Gap
    Yeah, I think that is out the window for TRI. 1-2" is reasonable for TRI at this point. Looks like a mesoscale low rotated up the spine of the Apps and into TRI. I thought it was downslope, but it originated south and rotated over the mountains. Maybe we get some wrap around here. It was almost like being under the eye of a hurricane. It will likely cut precip totals here significantly. Hopefully I am wrong. Glad to see the Knoxville folks getting some great thunder snow though!!!
