1-30/2-1-26 Arctic Blast, ULL Snow Event
Carvers Gap replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
His Reelfoot Lake post about 5-10 minutes before the tornado hit there was pretty epic. He basically told everyone to tell anyone(they knew) on that lake to get off it immediately. He was very adamant, and very right.- 782 replies

1-30/2-1-26 Arctic Blast, ULL Snow Event
Carvers Gap replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
The sun did the work today. This isn't going to stick until the sun angle goes down and the temp drops. Temps are above predictions IMBY. It is snowing, but not even thinking about sticking on anything....not metal surfaces, not mulch, not raised surfaces. Definitely not rooftops or roads. Rates should eventually overcome that, but I am surprised that the cold temps didn't allow for this to immediately stick. I am not gonna complain about the sun, because we would kind of be screwed without it. LOL. With two days of below freezing temps...rates still do matter.- 782 replies

Jan 30th-February 1st 2026 Arctic Blast/ULL Snow OBS Thread.
Carvers Gap replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Kind of surprising to see decent snow, and it not accumulating on grassy nor raised surfaces. The sun is still kind of poking through. I thought things would immediately be covered due to the very cold temps. Nope. It may stick later, but it is not right now. Knoxville folks, you are not really missing out...and I am under a decent band. It is similar to March snows where it snows all day and doesn't accumulate. Need more rates or lower sun angle. -

Carvers Gap replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Light to moderate snow IMBY. It is very fine and not sticking yet. Sun was out and then it was not. It started snowing immediately after that. -

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.- 782 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!!!!- 782 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.- 782 replies

Probably just the 3k NAM and its elevation issues...but the 3k put 40+" in the Smokies. That is Sierra Nevada level stuff.- 782 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.- 782 replies
