The Arctic front squeezed out “something”. 20 degrees here with a wind chill of 11 at what should be peak heating. This cold snap will be a doozy. Check out that Asheville link above. Crazy!

BlunderStorm Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Happy New Year! (for those under EST) Currently 12F with winds of 5 MPH and partly cloudy skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Got down to 7 this morning, several degrees lower than forecasted, wind out of the NW at 5 mph as of 8am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Currently 17 degrees at 1PM without any snow cover on the ground. That's impressive any year really. It's not often that we can maintain these low temps without it. MRX mentioned in the AFD that even Knoxville and points North could make a run at 0 tonight if winds decouple and clouds decrease.

Yep, I think the forecasted highs and lows are a tad high, I might flirt with close to 0 in the morning, my high has been 21, was forecasted 26! We know at 3 pm that's all we have here today! My forecasted low is 6 tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I've noticed that too. Generally, the GFS, and the Euro to some extent, have been too warm here recently. Looks like my high will top out at 19 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Down to 6 currently, may run towards 0 by morning. DP -2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Light returns about to reach me, will have to see if they reach the ground. 26 degrees after a high of 30 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a good shot tonight at something measurable, especially after frontal passage and NW flow kicks in with a little Great Lakes moisture.

John1122 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Virga so far, hopefully the flow off the lake changes. Too much NW flow there, needs to be NNW to really get involved in East Tennessee. When the plumes are coming from N. Indiana between Gary and South Bend they can connect here. At their current angle they connect with West Virginia.

At their current angle they connect with West Virginia. Should see them shift late tonigh/tomorrow morning to more northerly in that region. Best NW flow might be closer to daybreak and even just after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Seeing flakes reach the ground now. Nothing notable at all though. Temp went from 22 to 27 now it's back to 22 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hmmm west side of Hamblen Co and north Jefferson got under a streamer this AM. There is a heavy dusting on everything, even roads. Meanwhile at the house in East Hamblen....Nada haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Now in Jefferson City and it's just coming down here. Big fat flakes and sticking to everything. It seems that if you get under one of these streamers, you are golden for about 5-10 min. Enough to whiten things up with these cold temps. Too bad there's not more moisture to work with.

John1122 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Around 1/2 inch out there this morning. Bringing my seasonal total to around 3/4ths of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 John and our folks in SW VA and SE KY, what are your wind chills? Would be interested in some higher elevation, western NC values as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 KTRI set two record lows this week. On Jan 1, it was 7F. On January 2, it was 3F. Rare air to be setting January record lows.. Probably going to set some record for the longest it has taken to get above freezing during the beginning of a calendar year. We have not been above freezing since Dec 30th. Looks like January 7th will be the first time KTRI gets above freezing for the New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlunderStorm Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I've got a heavy dusting to half an inch so far. A steady stream of light snow and flurries are coming from the NW below the radar. This in fact exceeded my expectations, I was just expecting a few flurries. I'll take a light coating of snow any day! Here are some compressed pictures. Also the temperature is 14F with a wind chill of 7F. **EDIT** I replaced the 2nd image of the last snowfall with today's. Also after measuring in multiple places my total for today was 0.5 in. Hopefully a few more flakes tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Skies cleared off late this afternoon but have already clouded back up. Maybe we can have a few more snow showers tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
