February 2026

[dwagner88]

Light snow down here too. 33 degrees. 

[John1122]

Looks like about 3/4ths of an inch here with a few snow showers near me. 

[IndTenn]

Light snow but big flakes here, just starting to stick to pavement.

[Jed33]

There’s light snow here too and a decent dusting even seeing it stick to the pavement and walkway here at the house.

[housemtnTN]

Been getting a nice snow shower for at least 45 minutes or so. Picked up probably a little over a half an inch now.

[1234snow]

It is flat out pouring the snow south of Kingsport to Colonial Heights. Everything is covered and probably close to an inch now.

Yeah, that heavy snow developed over Scott and Wise Counties and expanded. 

[WintryMixmaster]

Very light snow has been falling here for about 30-45 minutes... there's a thin dusting (<0.1") on some of the colder elevated surfaces. Radar has had no reflections over my house though (snow hole along I-140, just south of the "K" in Knoxville on the map)

We have a light dusting on the grass and roofs.  There are a few places in my driveway that have turned white, but the roads are still looking uncovered. We now have some bigger flakes the largest of the night, but I do not think the roads are going to be a problem unless it does this for a few more hours.

I can confirm. Still coming down steadily in Colonial Heights. Everything has a fresh coat of snow.

Maybe that band of more steady snow that's currently in N Knox County/S Anderson County can get down here before dissipating

[BlunderStorm]

26F and coming down at a decent clip! Got a half inch of new snow at the stroke of midnight atop of what I could only describe as a few inches of concrete.

Edit: Main roads are mostly white.

[bearman]

I just went out and took a walk around my block.  The Roads are mostly wet but are starting to get white on the slopes that are shaded from the sun.  It is coming down the hardest of the night, but I still don't think we are going to have road problems unless it does what it is doing now for about 2 to 3 more hours.

A nice dusting on the grass and wet roads would be ideal for my drive to work tomorrow, especially since I'm sure the rain washed away the salt they put down for the last storm

[John1122]

Up to around an inch now. 25 degrees. Also somewhat foggy. So some freezing fog may be happening. 

[John1122]

It's another night where there's no coherent direction of travel for the snow. It's just dancing around it looks like. 

[WintryMixmaster]

About a quarter inch of snow at my house, I'm curious if there's larger totals up by Halls because it seemed like they were under a steadier band of snow for longer before it weakened as it moved south

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Looking at the tropical West Pacific this am and noticed we just have a tropical storm hitting the Philippines in February with a less organized twin storm over western Australia's coast. This sort of set up seems to associated with westerly wind bursts and just a quick search shows that it tends to happen in years with El Ninos that develop in the late summer and fall (2015/ 2023).
 

Last few days of satellite:

 

Looks like we art going to do early Jan all over again, at least wrt tropical forcing:

 

GEFS still likes a decent strat. disruption around Valentines Day:

A true sudden stratosperic warming event (SSWE) has to have a wind reversal (blue lines drop below 0):

EPS (above) isn't as enthused as it has been recently, even though the Euro OP still shows some significant warming:

 

Any potential impacts, if we get a SSWE at some point this month, would likely be at least a couple of weeks minimum, after the event.

About the same, maybe a little more in Halls. Nothing crazy though

I think we warmed up for a while from around just after Christmas through mid January. Torch weenies kept predicting a big torch, but it was just average or a little abv. average. 

[Matthew70]

The storm around Valentines Day maybe Middle TN last chance to get a significant winter storm.  Reason being the pattern setting up could last the average 6 weeks which puts us well into March.  Hopefully no severe wx with any fronts this year.  The last thing areas with ice storm damage needs is winds. A lot of clean up for the next several months.

Yeah, it went against the grain of the MJO. It was well above normal until the 13th. 

[Carvers Gap]

Roads up her were/are a mess today.  Snow(light) began falling last night at around 8:00PM and continued for about 5-6 hours.  We got about .5-1” of snow and it absolutely wrecked I81.  The rain froze on the spot as the front rolled in.  That is the second time that has happened this year.

[nrgjeff]

Ice storm started as a heavy rain outlook from CPC. Let's not do that again! Instead, how about severe weather?
