The Euro is awesome for the middle and western area. Also folks in Knoxville, it joined the RGEM in giving freezing rain to you. 

Yeah it was, 9inch range on top of my house that run.  Pretty wide swath of 8-9 in Fayette and Hardeman counties with the 8 inch line on the Fayette/Shelby county border.  Overall, that’s probably the best run of the Euro we could ever ask for at this stage for the mid south and west Tn.

Pretty much the Euro has most of the central valley of East Tenneseee getting up to .10 accumulation of ice now. Plateau and Middle Tennessee get 1/4th to 3/4ths inch of sleet. .25-.35 ice in valley counties that border the Plateau.  Eastern Middle also gets around that much ice. The Plateau is over 1/2 inch ice accumulation. That snow map is awesome for the western 2/3rds of the valley and at this point, it looks like a classic winter storm that will come off basically doubt free for many of you. You have the most important ingredient for any southern winter storm, guaranteed cold.

The reason the Central Valley of East Tennessee and more of Alabama got more wintry was the Euro shifted south about 100 miles that run vs OZ. the Low heads slightly east of due north from Panama instead of from south central Alabama and ends up near Asheville. If it could only head east a little further you'd see more snow and less freezing rain further east.

Pretty much could be a nasty ice storm after the Valentines day storm for Nashville,if it is anywhere right,could be just rain also depending on any snow pack

After both storms Memphis gets 17 inches and 15+ is common out that way. That would have to join some of the all time wintery periods in the history of west and western middle Tennessee.

I was trying to think when the last 5-6+ event was for Memphis and the surrounding areas.  I feel like it’s been atleast 21 years cause I don’t ever remember a storm that big in my time living here.  Not sure what happened In the 90’s but I’m pretty sure 1985 had a 10+ event in Memphis that year.  I know northwest Tn has had some big events in the past 10-20 years though, especially the TN/Kentucky border counties.

If they got 17 inches that would be good for the 8 snowiest season of all time in Memphis since 1894.  If they got over 17.5 they’d be good for 7th all time, passing 1904-1905 -17.5 inches 

25.1 inches is the all time record in Memphis, it happened in the 1917-1918 winter season.  Jonesboro, Arkansas broke their record in 1917-18 with 37.1 inches as well, Little Rock, Arkansas did the same that year with 26 inches exactly. 

 

Jackson, Tn all time snowiest season occurred in 1984-85 with 24.7”.  10th place on their all time list is 9.5 so It’s possible they could break into the top 10 with these systems as well.

The trend Monday into Tuesday is a drastic reduction in temps in the eastern valley.  There are places in E TN and NE TN which are 10-15 degrees colder.  The CMC and Euro are now showing signs that the front may catch the precip in the eastern valley.  Really need to watch this.  There is a real possibility that the cold is being under modeled in the eastern valley.

Oddly 1905-1906, even tho people lived in a colder era back then was into a more moderate NINO,PER WEBBERWEATHER,in the 1917-18 winter this was a more moderate NINA into the tri-monthlies "OND".   -1.04

Interesting.  It’s pretty cool how we can dive into the details for 100+ years of winter weather thanks to all the historical weather data we have.

Canadian Suite in particular, may be onto something. I feel at some point the "up the great Valley"  se ridge affect will begin to collapse mainly N to South . By that time most of the caa should be entire column, possibly sleet b4 snow changeover as mid level may still have some +0c early on.

      Of course, in light of consensus, may be just grasping at straws but, have seen this type play out before.

I'll spill the beans: looks good if you're anywhere in Tennessee. It's farther SE and brings more snow to everyone. Only downside is that it brings more ice to our eastern areas.

It’s not good for anyone from the eastern valley to northeast TN.  Great for west and much of middle.  Likely to be a storm to remember out that way.  Enjoy!
