    With 6 going on 7 here at 2000ft surely a foot on the peaks. Not to mention there was already snow up there. Unaka mountain has been snow topped for most of January besides those few days into the low 60s

    Wow. I guess up My area up rock creek in Erwin really really loves this NNW flow. adding another inch currently

    6” on the dot this morning. It’s COLD out. Moderate snow now.
  4. fountainguy97
    Visibility is low right now. Some seriously heavy rates. .3-.5 mile visibility (I have plenty of house lights to judge by)

    Some nice back building to the west of Knoxville last few frames.

    This final piece looks like the best snow producer for us all. You can see our old piece pulling away and the new purple “push” of moisture rolling in. matches with Radar as well.

    Just measured plenty of 3-4” marks. So we will go with 3.5. Lots of blowing around. Hopeful to hit that magic 6” mark tonight.

    Yeah seems like my backyard is eating this NNW flow up. It’s crazy to see the micro climates around. Literally 3 miles down the road into Erwin probably has half of what I have or even less.

    Looks like the final energy lobe will be moving in soon. Already see radar beefing up one more time across our area. This one has the best chance for accumulating outside the “prime” NW locations as it has the coldest temps to work with. Let’s get you guys some snow!

    Heaviest of the night so far. It just keeps coming.
  11. fountainguy97
    A whole night of this?
  12. fountainguy97
    Heavy snow now. 27 surface temp and 850s are approaching -10c. Flakes are decent size and coming down in buckets. ground smoothing over. Wonder what the ceiling is for this event.... several hours left..
  13. fountainguy97
    Working toward 2” quickly here. Temp down to 27. Lot of moisture left
  14. fountainguy97
    Look at those deep greens training into the Smokys. Wow
  15. fountainguy97
    Pouring here. 28.7 degrees and just had a gust of 17. Roads covering again. coming up on an inch soon
  16. fountainguy97
    can see the flow starting to pull more toward our classic NW direction as the ULL is sweeping through. Full on NW regime will begin over the next few hours!
  17. fountainguy97
    We moved and are now right above 2k . yeah we do ok here. I can usually score 40-50% of what the top peaks around me get. Depends alot on the exact flow here too I think NNW is best since the path from JC down to Erwin is pretty clear. I've seen moisture pile up in the valley from that way. Helps pad the annual averages atleast. Erwin proper is always in a snow hole from high peaks all around it. We are out of Erwin and up the mountain just enough to not live in the mountain shadows 24/7

    seems like it. Models only had 1-2inches for most of this area before 7pm. bulk comes with the better rates tonight
  19. fountainguy97
    looks like another batch of moisture building in.
  20. fountainguy97
    Radar is looking great over that way. 20-25dbz is pretty good in this setup. Temp down to 30.9. Super small flakes but a billion of them. Roads white. My 2wd truck cringes at driving to work in a second.
  21. fountainguy97
    31.8 and just starting here. Dusting on mulch already. Seems ground is already frozen.
  22. fountainguy97
    00z models dropping 6+ for my area. Do I bite? Been burned a couple times this year already lol
  23. fountainguy97
    Going to be a slow dance but you can see it slowly coming together. We will get that upper level energy diving and consolidating tmrw which will pivot and rotate that moisture through TN. Great tap from the Great Lakes. This certainly looks like it can produce the totals we are seeing on models.
  24. fountainguy97
    Take that to the bank.
  25. fountainguy97
    In layman’s terms it’s pretty much explained in its title. “NorthWest Snow” low level winds from the northwest pass up and over the mountains. Those NW facing slopes get enhanced lift during these times and that’s why they can get a ton of snow. Wind from the northwest hits the mountains and is forced up. Creating lift and snow along those areas. It can be feast or famine as the NW slopes get dumped on but slopes not facing the exact perfect way get much less snow. here are a couple links. One has pictures which I like. The other is pretty In depth. But a good read! Google is my best friend for terms I don’t know lol. https://www.weather.gov/media/gsp/localdat/NWFS_discussion_group/Additional Links/Northwest Flow Snow_Dec05.pdf http://appstate.edu/~perrylb/Research/Publications/Misc/Perry_2006_Diss.pdf
