Jan 24 - 26 2026 Ice, sleet, and for a lucky few..... snow storm

[Reb]

Is it me or did the RGEM nail the timing? Heck it may be earlier than even that was

NAM 3km has some ideal gusts for 1/3" of ice accretion on the plateau !!:

Reports of all bridges on Hwy 72 heading east out of Huntsville, AL have iced over

FYI I edited the topic title to Jan 24 - 26. Somehow I got it in my head when I made this yesterday that today was the 25th

Eyes on the sky in Seymour. Maybe I can score a layer real quick if I get lucky

Virga Monster has been winning the battle here..still dont have the first flake/pellet lol

[BlunderStorm]

Tiny pellets of graupel(?) or snow(?) less than half a mm across have broke through the surface in very limited amounts. Visibility remains in excess of 10 miles. Starting out at a frigid 16F with a DP of 9F. Winds about 7 mph from the NNE. 

EDIT: The column has flipped to being ready dramatically. Visibility is collapsing to a few miles and flurries are falling and accumulating on all surfaces.

[TellicoWx]

For anyone that may have to travel into North AL..dont. Alot of reports of cars sliding off the roads coming in.

Still have cloud definition here in West Knox with a few flurries coming down. Rates will have to pick up to amount to anything, Maybe we can score a good thumping before a transition.

Kinda strange..Light Snow in Robbinsville (NC)

[dwagner88]

And we have changed to primarily snow. Absolutely did not expect this.

Great to here.  I am really rooting for you guys down there.  I lived my whole childhood in Cleveland through my college years, and we were the one area of TN that would get shafted so many times.  We're going to believe you guys are going to score big.

Sides of the roads turning slightly white in Chattanooga per Smartway cams

It's a skating rink down here.

Pretty concerned about the train of moisture that has set up along the southern border. It seems that was poorly modeled. It's fine as snow, but I don't think we will be able to maintain 850 temps capable of supporting snow for much longer.

Down to 28° with all snow in Ooltewah. Hoping we can hang on long enough for a dusting just to cover the grass at least.

28 here as well. Still hanging on to a few snowflakes, but I'm back to mostly sleet.

[AMZ8990]

Snow falling in south west Tn.          1-2inches so far by the looks of it.

Still a virga storm here

Not sure if we have any posters from N.E. AR but man this is some extremely heavy snow according to Radar between Memphis and Searcy AR!

My wife went to Chattanooga last night for a comedy show and I finally got a hold of her this morning to get her on the road. She thought they would have more time, but I told her if they don't get out soon they might be stuck there until tomorrow. I looked at the TDOT cameras and roads still look good down there, but it's slowing down on the scenic overlook on 75 and the sides of the roads are already white from there to Cleveland.

[Knoxtron]

Currently 24.6 up on wardens ridge between dunlap and soddy. Strangley enough we warmed up 5 degrees from 4-430 am then dropped back to 24 quickly

Mostly sleet but every now and then we get a burst of snow.

Sure looking like we will get a decent icing soon, hoping the impacts are not catastrophic over a large area. We would be a low priority to getting power back. 

I have a generator hooked to 500 gallon propane tank but we have had a lot of Californian's build dream houses around us this year and not one of them have planned it appears.
