Carvers Gap Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I just want to drop a thank you to Mr. Bob, Carver and the rest of the bunch who pushed to get the Tennessee Valley a forum. I can't imagine trying to filter through the SE forum during events like this for our region; trying to get and disseminate data, obs, information, and well, general humor and angst. Those weren't necessarily fun experiences. Our weather is related to the SE, but it's entirely its own distinct climate (and micro-climates), with all manners of quirky atmospheric nuances that seperate us from the rest of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Anyway, just saying... Snow has lightened up since earlier. Not quite moderate. Still coming down steady though. There are a ton of folks that made this happen...Mr. Bob went to bat, pulled a few strings, and cut the deal. He deserve the most credit. But a list too long to name jumped in too. Biggest thing, we just really enjoy seeing folks use the board like tonight. The Tennessee Valley forum is a great community. Glad to be a part of it and thanks for your kind comments.

maharg18 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Longtime lurker here, but I just want to echo what the others have said, I really appreciate having a forum just for our neck of the woods. Looking through the SE forum is enough to give me a headache! Also, about 6.5" on Signal Mountain at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmetalhead Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm up to 4.5 of new snow accumulation, and around 8 overall. Still a couple more hours of good returns to go, it appears. And I agree with you guys, the TN Valley subforum was an awesome addition! I just wish it was the discussion was always as active as it has been for the past 2 weeks or so lol.

dwagner88 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Returns are easing off a bit now. Back to light snow small flakes. I'm going to wind up with around 7-7.5 inches from the looks of things. Not quite as much as last Feb, but still a fantastic storm by any measure.

John1122 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I had to make an emergency trip to Knoxville and I just got home. I drove in basically a white out from Emory Road all the way to home. I've picked up about 2 fresh inches it appears with probably 1.5 inch per our rates falling right now.

dwagner88 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have to say that TDOT appears to be doing a good job on the interstates in town. Obviously not much traffic right now, but on the cameras it looks like everything is at least passable on the interstates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaChemE Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Final snow report is 10 inches even here in Madison, Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Wow. Just BOOOOM!!! Heavy snowfall right now. This might is the heaviest snow I have seen in quite a while. I did actually see snow coming down this heavy last November, but that was on top of a mountain near the West Virginia border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Final snow report is 10 inches even here in Madison, Alabama. Awesome!!!! Where does that rank in your memory bank of big snows for you all? 10" is impressive anywhere in the southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 We are having our heaviest snow of the storm in west Knoxville Cedar springs area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaChemE Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Awesome!!!! Where does that rank in your memory bank of big snows for you all? 10" is impressive anywhere in the southeast. I'm not from Alabama. Originally from the Asheville, NC area. Told my wife tonight that this is probably the most snow I've seen at one time since the Blizzard of '93.

tnmetalhead Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 up to 5.25 here, still moderate snow. The back end of the returns are pushing Huntsville, so I'm not buying MRX's new update of 7-12... At least not for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Radar is fascinating with snow. I look outside and based on what I see coming down, I would expect yellows in the returns. It's just a sea of green though. I had yellow returns at times over the past week and didn't see snow like this. Perhaps this has a lot to do with the upper levels. Yellow returns when there is warm layer above 850mb significantly decreases the size of the flakes to an almost sleet appearance. Where as right now it's below freezing all the way up to the 500mb level. Either way, the radar doesn't do this justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 We are having our heaviest snow of the storm in west Knoxville Cedar springs area. Agreed I just measured 4 inches!

ShawnEastTN Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The ULL looks like its winding due east across the state back near BNA, that will likely keep us in at least light snow most of the night for especially say Athens north. It might not be impossible to get another 3" through the night. That would take most of us probably around 8-10" Chatt north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Nasty Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Snow seems to be ending here. We had 7 hours of heavy snow. Took approximately 20 measurements. The concrete wall by patio was a consistent 7 1/4". This pic is my patio table. It was measured on the flat area of snow. Didn't count the small drifts by it. They were around 10. Table has approximately 7 1/2"- 7 3/4" This was my driveway and car about halfway into the event. Had some snow blow off car while driving around Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol Man Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Just measured a little above 1.5"...started at 9:00, so that's about 1/2 inch per hour...not a real heavy rate, but steady. With a couple of heavy bands, we could end up at about 4-5 by morning...decent snow to close out February. Glad for our friends in the Southern Valley...they really scored well tonight. Now, if we could just our mid-state boys a decent accumulation before spring is here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Having some moderate snow now. Hoping this band over the valley can hold together as long as it can. It seems like the heaviest part is in a narrow strip. Around an inch here by eyeballing out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnweathernut Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Under a nice band, likely 3/4 mile visibility in north JC. About an inch and a half here too. ........And yes, I know my battery is low. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Back to moderate. Thankful for that. That was coming down so heavy it would have got ugly quick. To be honest, I'm happy for you folks in Knoxville and Chatt to get all the deep snow. Though, I'm sure we'll get plenty tonight, I'm kind of over it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3 minutes later: And, well, nevermind. It's coming down heavy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Just took my last measurement for the night. 7.25" here. It is still snowing lightly, but I can't see us getting more than another half inch at best. I'm off to bed. Been a long, but fun, day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
