Jan 2021 Squallicane

Have a solid dusting on rooftops, cars, and grass. Temp is doing a similar thing here and I wonder if it may be due to the dewpoint increasing as moisture moves in. That in turn is increasing the temperature. Then when the moisture moves out, the dewpoint falls back a degree and temp goes down. For instance, when it was snowing a few min ago, I was at 30 degrees with a dp between 29/30. Now that it’s stopped, I’m at 29 dp 28. Just a thought

Just started here sticking to everything even the roads. Ground is frozen solid

[Vol Man]

Just started in East Kingsport...some nice size flakes 

[John1122]

Getting close to an inch. Can't tell if the backside is close or not because of the dead radar zone over Fentress and Scott County. Looks like some cellular blobs have been hitting small areas of the midstate. 

[Silas Lang]

Woke up to a dusting here in Knox. Some fine dandruff falling right now at a steady clip. 

[Carvers Gap]

Light dusting here.  Light snow falling.

One picture though, reminded me of something. This one is aimed right at the heart of the Frozen Head mts, towards John:

Hopefully one of us on the plateau or E TN can luck out and get under one of the bands about to swing through:

 started here abt an hour ago. sticking to everything even the roads. Ground is frozen solid. Not used to seeing white roads with a dusted yard lol

 

[Shocker0]

I think it's pretty much done here between Monterey and Crossville but another good solid event overall

EDIT: Actually looks like a couple heavier bands will be coming through shortly so may pick up a little from those

[Runman292]

Not sure if I was supposed to expect any snow on the ground here, but Oak Ridge has no snow. Just light flurries.

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Hecking Chonkers falling up here, getting nickled and dimed (hopefully heading toward the Ridge of Oaks):

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Approaching fatties gettin' ripped up here, but not quite there. 

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Looks like I'm getting into these bands now:

Hopefully more of y'all east of me can get in on it too. 

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Fatties now flying:

Moderate snow now with nickels and quarters at times!

Heavy Snow and all of a sudden my heavy dusting is back!

[fountainguy97]

Moderate now but mostly melted off the ground. Temp up to 31. Must be the sun.

[1234snow]

About half an inch at the house. Ran 14 miles in Kingsport this morning from 7-9:30 and got smacked in face with plenty of snow.

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Slacked off here, and now some heavy sleet of graupel.  

[EastTNWeatherAdmirer]

ABSOLUTELY INSANE VELOCITY RETURNS WITH CONVECTIVE BANDS OF SNOW MOVING THROUGH NE KNOX COUNTY. ANYONE KNOW HOW BAD THE DAMAGE IS???!!! #UNBELIEVABLE

Up to quarters falling now. Probably 1/2, mile visibility. Heaviest snow so far. Temp went back up 1 degree when it started snowing hard. I've never seen temps fall when it's snowing less and rise when it gets harder. 

This is what I was mentioning last night. Temp dropped to 32.2 before the snow and then went up to 33.6 during and wouldn’t budge. It only dropped back to 32.2 at 7:40 this morning meaning the whole event never went below freezing. I measured 3 quarters of an inch but that was at 10Am so I’d imagine I would have gotten more had temps cooperated. Due to melting I am assuming  it was closer to an inch when the sun first came up.

Starting to get a nice burst of snow. Let’s see what it can do

[Daniel Boone]

Measured 1.70 " at home with moderate snow falling . Travelled to Middlesboro and took couple pics in Rose hill, where about 3" was on ground . 

   Sun broke thru some breaks in clouds from Ewing to Mboro.  Melting taking place there. Got to Mboro and most had melted in town. A heavy squall came thru that was prob. 6" hour rate! Was listening for thunder but, heard none. If had all stuck, would of easily dropped an inch in that 10 minutes. Temp. Here in mboro is above freezing. 35.

[Shocker0]

Melted off the roads here and is 31 now. Looks like maybe more snow tomorrow night here but with it supposed to be around 36 or so most of this will probably melt?

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Caught a lightning strike with the next wave moving into NE sections. Energy is currently over S. IL:

 

Here's a zoomed out version in WV imagery:

Looks like ur the winner so far brother. What did u get , 4 to 5" ?

[Jed33]

It’s coming all out whiteout right now! Fine flakes but just dumping! Easily the heaviest all day!

[1234snow]

Had a few squalls here but nothing more than a dusting. North east of Gate City has 2-3 inches as multiple squalls have trained all morning.

Sun is now out.

That’s how it is here. Can never really get more than about 1/4in total bc the sun comes out and melts it. It sure is pretty to look at. Too bad it’s not after dark as the sun wouldn’t be melting it. My temp fell back down to 30 degrees in that last squall that just came through!
