1234snow Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Rolled over to see it snowing pretty heavy. Looking at the deck though it probably hasn't been doing it long temp 25! What a storm this could of been if we had some precip a few hours ago! Anybody in Kingsport should be seeing good rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runman292 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Sleet is starting to mix in with the freezing rain and it's coming down hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Sleet is starting to mix in with the freezing rain and it's coming down hard. I was going to say it looked pretty hard on the radar. Hope your okay down that way nasty looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol Man Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Pretty good rate of snow right now in Kingsport...looks like we have picked up another inch or so, maybe a little more...I haven't been out yet to measure. Trying to decide if I'm going to venture out to try to make it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be going anywhere until the temps get above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runman292 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The sleet has ended, but the freezing rain continues in North Knoxville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 30 degrees and freezing rain. The deck is covered in decent layer of sleet and ice. The road looks covered as well. UT is delayed until 10am. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This is the kind of weather where if you don't have to travel anywhere right now, it's best to just stay at home and wait until temperatures get above freezing to get out and about. If you do need to travel, be extra careful and take it slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Nasty Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 My temp dropped from 42 to 36 overnight. Around midnight we had maybe 30 seconds of sleet and that was it. No rain yesterday, nothing. Hope you folks north and east of me get.pounded with a little luck. I heard reports of snow in Athens, Dayton and Spring City. I'm at work now at the VW plant in Ooltewah and had a few folks call in due to icy roads in the Dunlap/Pikeville area.

JayCee Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Dang it. The one thing I was hoping to avoid is what we get stuck with. Freezing rain and 29 this morning. And it's coming down at a good rate. Hoping the models are correct at getting us to 45 today. Yesterday's forecast high was sure a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayCee Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Well, in a matter of minutes, it switched to very heavy sleet. It must have been switching back and forth all night, because the ground is white with mostly sleet, and I don't see a lot of accumulation of ice on the trees, thankfully. There are a few flakes of snow mixed in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm now at 32 here but it must have sleeted all night good coating of sleet, freezing rain must have mixed all night for me as trees are glassy looking. Probably about an inch of sleet, which is slushy with the temp rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably about an inch of sleet, which is slushy with the temp rise. Good to hear you're at 32, and warmer air is working it's way up the valley. If I'm not getting snow, give me plain rain. I live in a wooded area, and ice is not nice for trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've had about an hour lull in the precip. A lot of dry slots in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCee Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I know for a few on this board this may have been a "big dog" event, but for my area, I'd call it a miniature pinscher. Because, a pinch of winter weather is all I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Sleet and zr right now w/ 4.5 - 5" of snow in west Kingsport up against the mountain. Most wxunderground temp stations range from 24-26 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Moderate to heavy sleet with some snow mixing in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCee Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It appears that the main band of precipitation is once again lifting back to the north. Areas in northern TN and southwest VA should start seeing steadier precip as the morning goes along. Hope it's not all ZR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Heavy precip, mostly ZR now, icicles forming on everything. Got a pretty thick glaze going on and the snow is really compacting down. Well, it was fun while it lasted! Does anyone think we could switch back to snow tonight? A couple short range models indicated that could be the case, but doesn't look like much accumu. if any.

JayCee Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Winter weather winding down for most of the central and southern valley in East TN, as temps are warming. But, looks like heavy rain is about to become the next issue. Considering the snow on the ground for some areas, there will probably be high water issues later today and tonight.
