We did make it to the upper 20s around our region by daybreak. Just couldn’t stay there with the warming of the day and a slight downslope off the mountains. I didn’t think it would happen, but remember leaving a post saying I never totally discount it around here. For sure it wasn't the only thing....something pushed the warm air across the valley from east to west. That I don't know for sure what mechanism caused it. I tend to think downslope, but it may just be that TRI takes longer to get colder w/ east to west cold fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellicoWx Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 While this has been a very complex and surprising system..don't think it's done with all of its tricks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Hardest snow of the whole event unfolding here right now. Probably 1/4th vis with nickels falling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwolf1972 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It's almost a white out it's snowing so heavy in loudon and looks like heavier snow still headed this way up the valley from the south.Sent from my SM-S916U1 using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol Man Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Definitely the hardest snow of the day...right at 4" east of Kingsport. Lots of melting today with the temps, as Carver described. Thanks to everyone for the great analysis and reports, especially the folks in north Knoxville area. My son now lives just off Tazewell Pike, so those reports were very helpful! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellicoWx Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 As the pressure has started to rise, the 850s can start pulling back south. Add in the rates able to tap that, time of day it's occurring, downslope winds starting to ease up and switch..and you have a great recipe. Look at the time stamps of the valley PWS coinciding with everyone posting how goose feathers have picked up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwolf1972 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Keeps up we could see a 12 inches of snowSent from my SM-S916U1 using Tapatalk 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwolf1972 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It seems like this system is in no hurry to move it's been snowing for 24 hrs plus and still could snow till 2 am according to the future cast on tv .Looks like it's stalled out neither low on this app has moved for hrs.Sent from my SM-S916U1 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Lang Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Temps dropping down to 27. Snowing hard. Measured 6 about an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just mesured right at 7 inches and coming down hard. West Knox. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellicoWx Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 One of the tricks it may be up to, is Lee are notorious for being under modeled 6+ hours out on precip. If it hangs around as CAMs suggest tonight, could be interesting for everyone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BhamParker Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 We have finally got heavy heavy snow and it’s all snow! Roads are getting covered and we have accumulation starting again for the first time in awhile! . 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Hot Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 All rain in Colonial Heights for the last 30 mins. Temp is up to 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocksterdanza Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 We just had whiteout conditions in loudon county. This thing just keeps getting stronger. We have 7.5 inches on our diving board. Super amazed! . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 One of the tricks it may be up to, is Lee are notorious for being under modeled 6+ hours out on precip. If it hangs around as CAMs suggest tonight, could be interesting for everyone.I was looking at the HRRR sim earlier and towards the end of the system you could see the precip in the southern Valley up against the foothills start drifting more north back into the valley like a little wave developed or something. I haven’t looked in a while though. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BhamParker Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 NWS has around an inch in my grid tonight. After looking at all models and the radar, I think 4+ is an easy bet. It’s going nuts right now and radar shows nothing to stop it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just now, Vol4Life said: When is the Lee side low supposed to form? I would guess it is maybe there now. With rates increasing over E TN, that is probably the lee side buckling the flow just a hair....Tellico would know more on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just when I've seen the heaviest, it increases more. Heavy goose feathers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is literally raining on one side of Kingsport a the moment and heavy snow on the other. That is a difference of about 7-10 miles. Good luck in the Burg!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TellicoWx Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 This is the part that's gonna catch alot people off guard in the rain areas. MRX AFD: any wet roads will undergo a flash freeze tonight as temperatures fall into the teens and winds remain light. Black ice is a near certainty, and road crews will be challenged with the low temperatures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 The lee side low forms and pushes snow back into Scott County Tn and SE Kentucky according to the RAP. The Knoxville corridor just sits under it for 8-10 more hours and gets another 6 inches of snow if it's right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellicoWx Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 And this is in response to the Lee if it forms up MRX AFD: The same guidance suggests a surge of colder air aloft will arrive tonight, potentially leading to light snow tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
