John1122 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 As for the brining situation, around here the highways were caked with salt from the last few snow events. So they get a little covered when the snow is very heavy but generally have been okay. All side roads were immediately covered here and still are. They gravel the road here. But they did it as soon as it started snowing. Now with this heavier snow, they are covered over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNAwx Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Congrats to the peeps in East TN today! I'll live vicariously through you guys until God willing, we break the snow drought here in Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabbycat Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Wow, Stovepipe! That's why they shouldn't chance it with kids. Is this the snow we were supposed to get around 7:00 or is it two different things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnweathernut Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Currently heavy snow, this band really means business. Almost half dollar sized flakes. I honestly didn't think that was possible with temps this low. Congrats John! It's almost stopped here in N JC. I know the RAP shows some redevelopment, but not sure that will happen. A lot of times as the low on the coast gets its act together, it will rob the secondary area so that instead of collapsing east, it simply dissipates. Will be interesting to see what happens. I really have to hand it to Robert (WxSouth) on this one. TREMENDOUS job in identifying something that simply wasn't there on modeling. Kudos! I didn't agree (so much for dry air), but he certainly blew this one out of the water! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 My temps are going down to the extent that I'm not sure how effective salt will be soon. I'm currently at 12 degrees. This is one of the coldest synoptic snow events I've ever saw. NW flow, yes, but synoptic snow in Tennessee with temps in the teens is very rare.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I've saw it collapse before as you said, but most modeling seems to be in your favor for keeping it going. And Robert did hit an absolute homerun with this one. He called it before the models started showing anything. If I were to sub an individual Met site for the South, I'd have a hard time not going with him.

Vol Man Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Nut and John, you are so right about Robert...completely nailed this one! We have about 2.5" here in Indian Springs...I also had 2.5 on my car when I left work in Kingsport this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234snow Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Best snow of the day moving in. Huge flakes!!!!! Here are some pictures from earlier of a frozen and snow covered Holston River. I've never seen it frozen AND snow on top of it. Backyard: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chattownsnow Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm noticing some 20-25dbz returns working there way in from the NW towards Chattanooga now. any chance that holds together and makes its way here? already snowing pretty good again in the area. BTW, awesome storm and congrats on everyone in the area seeing snow! I was really thinking we were going to miss this one but boy did we luck out!

ladyjmayo Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I was a believer after Robert posted his discussion yesterday. Part wishful thinking on my part, but also part that it really seemed to ring true. It seems we usually get slammed the hardest when it is totally unexpected. Both intensity and flake size have increased here in Roane county. Well over 3 inches now and closing in on 4. Seems like the last inch and a half or so has come very quickly. Neighbors who have 4-wheel drive are even having problems on our road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This storm continues to impress the hell out of me. Looks like I'm on my way to 2.5 inches, currently 18 degrees. That is entering nekkid snow angel territory. And yes, Robert will be getting a new subscription from me. Amazing weather voodoo chops on his part.

Tabbycat Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 My road that had some black showing from people driving and all the footsteps are totally covered again. You can't even tell anyone has been out. I have a patio, not a deck, and there's no drop off in my yard at all. It's all covered and that's all I wanted. When this on the radar now passes, that's it for Knoxville, right? Not that I'm complaining. I've already got two and one half inches or maybe a little more. I hope the next one we get gets Nashville and the rest of Middle TN. The Memphis area has had some good ones the past few years, I believe. And the other side of the mountains in Western NC. I hope they didn't get left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234snow Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I just subscribed to Robert again. It has been over a year when I cancelled it. $10 dollars a month is not bad and he deserves every penny of it. In my opinion he is the best met in the Southeast. Most mets just model hug but Robert forms his own educated opinion and knows what to look for when the models don't. Getting dark now so any road that is still not covered will be shortly.
