It took less than 12 hours for that theory to verify in west Tn.  lol 

Pretty cool.  I think the reason that works is because severe wx during winter indicates sharp wavelengths where the ridges and troughs really dig.  Pretty cool somebody figured that out years ago, likely without a weather map within 100 miles of them.  The saying goes(at least how it was shared with me) that thunder in the western North Carolina mountains during winter means snow will fall within ten days(some say 14 days).   There are some other interesting "sayings" as well...if snow is on the ground for three days, it is waiting for another(snow).  I don't know about the second rule...but the thunder deal is pretty interesting.  I am pretty sure that the blizzard of '93 was preceded by a very severe tornado outbreak across E TN about twenty days earlier.  While that doesn't follow the rule exactly(occurred three weeks later), it might be around that time that I noticed that rule might actually have some merit.  But hey, congratulations on the snow!!!

I have heard, snow breeds more snow. Basically it says a cold weather pattern is in place so another snow falls. We've seen two in a row here. I've seen it back in Kansas. I wonder if we'll ever see it again, lol.

As for the thunder, it is about an amplified pattern. It can go both directions, especially in the Plains. I think here it's more the warm to cold, due to slower recovery. This time looks like a Deep South system is wasted Sun/Mon. Then next week is forecast warm, but the 6-10 day has been less reliable than usual lately.

Oh yeah this is the Obs thread. Decent wind rain thunder and lightning in Chattanooga Monday evening. While sub-severe IMBY it was still a notable December thunderstorm with intermittent vivid lightning and loud thunder. Calmed down overnight. Then just before dawn the winds cranked up as the cold front crashed over the Plateau into town.

Interesting line of enhancement overnight running from the Smokies to the plateau:

Any ideas on that one?

Looks to me it runs almost directly E to W, starting just north of Mt Le Conte and ending at the plateau near Harriman. 

You can even see some subsidence north of it and reenhancement north of the subsidence.

Infared kinda shows it too as some of the cloud tops cool on the leeside of the Smokies, but it doesn't look as linear here.

You know it is an interesting weather pattern when the marching band semi has to fight its way through snow in the mountains just outside of....Los Angeles.  They saw snow in Arizona and in much of the mountain ranges of Southern California.  Heck, downtown LA looks sort of like Salt Lake City with the snow capped peaks in the background!

Yea, I am not sure what is going on with them today but we are honestly floating away here in Sumner county, not sure why it takes them so long to react to current weather conditions.

It is like they have a certain number of warnings that can be issued they are afraid to use them. I know here, even though we went several days since the last rain, everything was running off this morning. We need a serious pattern change!!!
