  1. Looks like it is a bit slower, between hour 27 and 30 the line hits the valley and backs/slows down and precip depeens over the eastern valley. Overall, the line just looked a bit more robust. Lee side low drops to 999 vs 1001.
  2. 18z Euro **edit**. Decent uptick in accumulations and increase in amounts along the western edge of 12z accumulations.
  3. 18z GFS was putrid as was its ensemble. 6z was similar. So, 12z seems to be the outlier for that model during the past couple of days. Wonder if it is its progressive nature? Other modeling seems to be fairly settled.
  4. If I could cash out now, I would take it. Add in the cold and winds....going to fire up the wood stove and enjoy Christmas. I am a little concerned about power if we were to get heavier snow along with wind and cold. But hey, let's roll.
  5. Good find. Told tnweathernut he brought some good mojo this morning! LOL. If we can get any kind of ridge to pop out West, we are in business. I am not a huge fan of the 12z GEPS run, but it may just be noise at that range.
  6. Probably will depend on the Euro. Super tough call. This affects a ton of travel plans - they will understandably want to be as sure as possible in making the call.
  7. 12z GEPS has a snow mean of 1.5-2" for NE TN. That is actually an increase....been very slowly creeping upward. Traditionally is a very conservative ensemble.
  8. It has been so long since we have had a -NAO (strength, duration), almost tough to remember. LOL!
  9. The 12z UKMET (non-Kuchera) is a bit beefier and a tick further west w/ 2-4" from MRX to TRI. East Knox Co has measurable snow depicted on this run - just an inch but better than 0z.
  10. For those new to the forum, I like to use a side-by-side comparison(an overlay would be better...but don't have access to that) of storm totals. 12z CMC is on the left. 6z is on the right. I say "held serve" in a sense that it still has the storm, similar accumulation amounts(we know those will likely be lower or even much lower), and the storm is still vigorous as it exits. Totals are down a hair which is to be expected. What we don't want to see are large scale drop-offs as this could indicate a change in intensity, track, moisture transport(I do worry that storms along the GOM could cut off some precip into our forum area), etc. The green axis is roughly the old "purple 6" line. So, one can see that the precip axis to our north moved east slightly. The pivot in south middle TN has stayed nearly the same. Overall storm totals have been circled - a slight decrease is noted. This is upper end of the envelop as cold arrives more quickly. It definitely has a bias for cold, so that tells us changeover will likely occur further east in the forum area - so cut totals and shift east. Lastly, the ARW mesoscale model shows how none of us could get snow - again, lots of options on the table. I actually like the ARW and RGEM inside of 24 hours - so not having the ARW is of note.
  11. The CMC indeed held serve. The west side of the snow extent shifts east just a bit. If someone wants to post the Kuchera map, have at it. My account memory is running low. Bout time to clean out some old files - which I hate to do, because they have a ton of wx history.
