Jan 30th-February 1st 2026 Arctic Blast/ULL Snow OBS Thread.
fountainguy97 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
End total for me was 12" and got down to -1. Overall an incredible event which was by far my largest snow in the 7 years I've been here. -

14.4. 8" on the dot. Rates have been lackluster most of the day. I assume I need some NW winds to get some mountain terrain involved. -

They have been by 3-4 times salting my road this morning. Each time it turns slushy for 15 min then straight back white. I think they are just building up a skating rink at this point. -

Really starting to stack up now. Probably 7" or more. Temp is 14.7. Probably another 4-6 easily on the way. -

18.9. Got several hours of sleep during the slower rates. I'd guess 5" out there. Still snowing pretty well. -

26.5 here and down to a heavy glitter falling. The flow has shifted and should enhance southern areas for the next few hours. When the pivot begins moisture will back up against the mountains again. I'd guess 3" here, yard has that bumpy look right before it smooths out. -

Should backfill over next couple of hours. -

27.3. It's changing to that smaller higher ratio stuff. Very high number of flakes falling. -

This thing hasn't even started yet. Latest HRRR lays it DOWN across ETN tonight. Temps crashing from 20s down into the teens with a deform band just rocking. Accumulations don't start until 6-9pm. That's always been the case. at least the last few model runs- 782 replies

Radar really lighting up over Kingsport. Models had slowed the onset down toward 7-10pm. but this may be ahead of schedule. The models do have a lull this afternoon before the real forcing begins.- 782 replies

I think it's partly because the sun is bright right now. You can see high cirrus here but just above the mountain ridge you can see the hazy/fog layer I'm talking about.- 782 replies

I might be going crazy but the returns on radar are strange. Off in the distance here I don't really see many clouds but it's more of a fog. Just a weird observation. Complete blue sky here with the sun out with a white fog off in the distance.- 782 replies

checking in. I was alittle nervous this morning because the NAM dried up at 6z and the HRRR was trending drier in the 7-10z runs. But 12z has given me some confidence back.- 782 replies

1.5". Downslope and rain. Only 2 snows above 6" here since 2019. 7" 2-2-21 prolonged NW flow (was more NNW and I think that helped my local) 6" 1-3-22. Quick hitter cutoff. Fell in 4 hrs Several 3-4" events though. Mostly NW related. It's amazing how much NW flow has padded my stats. I assume that's the case for most of the mountains. I'd guess 70% of my snowfall is NW related.- 782 replies

I've lived here since June 2019. The largest snow I've seen in that time is 7" from an over performing NW event in February of 2022. I may finally break that 7" record this weekend.- 782 replies
