The 12z GEM dumped 72" over portions of DELMARVA.....I have been watching this system for a few days.  The 12z GFS backed west but is no threat here, but the trend matters.  Not sure it can get back this far w/ 100 hours to go, but the GEM is potent over E TN, especially the mountains.  However, lower elevations would be impacted by that solution.

Check out this storm evolution....This is the west side of the cone at this point. That slp track is nearly perfect for E TN.  Not trying to leave out our middle and western folks, but this is the track of a huge storm.  Again, I think this is an outside chance for E TN....but models have been hinting at this possibility.

I believe the UKIE is very inland and too warm for us.

Indeed.  Good catch.  How has that model been this winter?  Like the GEM, it had almost nothing at 0z.  Much bigger and deepening solution.  Even w/ the UKMET solution, I would think heights would crash quickly w/ a storm going that big.  Maybe a late bloomer?  IDK.

AIFS is on board from northeast Tennessee and points north and east. Upper Plateau would still need more help.

Euro gins it up farther east, but I think it tried that with Giannis. While I don't see Chattanooga involved this time, I'm hoping for something like the GFS (or overall blend). Still need to get some ski runs in up at elevation.

WPC has minor impacts probs already for Sunday and Monday. I like the same areas.

I started to pull the trigger on my thoughts irt this Storm yesterday but felt so bad I just couldn't. Besides, really needed another day with those Thoughts, lol. 

     This may be similar to the December '92 Storm. Big Storm just North and NE of us. We did manage a few sloppy inches from backlash in Northeastern Sections of the Great Valley.

Man, that GEM Depiction makes me salivate. That's a Blizzard for the MA and NE and not far from it here.

I'd be jumping for joy in the MA now. It's looking grand for them .

The 12z Euro has a slider around 300.  Granted, it's 300 but it sure seems like modeling is picking up on a bit more colder air than it had last week.

As for the upcoming system....Sometimes, E TN can get into the gig.  The 12z Euro is weak and barely a storm.  The UKMET is well inland.  I tend to think the solution is probably in the middle.  Trends will have to be watched over the next few runs.

Im still hopeful we can get a March snow event. We have had our biggest snows ever in March in our area.

I might be wrong, but I believe our biggest snow ever in the Knoxville area was in November, however, just about all of our biggest snowstorms have been in March. That makes sense though considering that’s about the best moisture return month you’re going to get before it gets too warm.

A friends daughter went to Tahoe yesterday for a ski trip. It's apparently been awful so far. They couldn't reach their original air bnb, so got another, while working that out, their rental car got buried by a snow plow to the point they had to walk through a bilzzard to their new location. She said it has snowed almost 3 feet since they got there.

March and then November historically. Early December has as well .

My daughter works for a ski school outside of Ogden, Utah, and they have not had enough snow to open any slope that does not have man-made snow machines.  She has kept her job there this year because it is part-time teaching little ones how to ski.   She is a nurse in Ogden.   They have never seen so little snow, is how she frames this winter.  She said they may have had worse, but not by anyone that she has talked with.

Sounds wonderful.

This is a good follow on social media ->

2/19/26 8:30 am Update - the atmosphere is clearly showing off:
1-day ❄️: 25.6"
2-day ❄️: 54.9"
4-day ❄️: 92.5"
And just in case you thought we were done… another 8–16" expected TODAY. At this point, the snowpack is basically building an extension onto the lab.
Send snacks. Or a shovel. Or both.

One of the other channels I watch on youtube who does plowing and snow blowing on Mammoth Mountain got had gotten 90 inches at his location as of Wednesday. He got 30 inches in 8 hours Tuesday night.
