Yes, the district basketball tournament was played there. 

On the southeast corner of that red light where 33 and Emory cross there’s a CVS across the street from HMS. I live right behind the CVS.

What’s crazy is they had a bomb threat at HMS yesterday around noon. Apparently a student told a teacher that another female student had a gun and bomb in her backpack. Obviously, they didn’t find anything.

I'm in that area frequently for different sports. Football, tennis,  basketball, baseball and softball. Campbell County is in the same district as Halls.

Colder than predicted today. Only reached 36 so far but nicer for a walk than yesterday felt.

What a banner Winter for the Ohio Valley and Northeast,as well as much of the MA. At least one more big dog for the Ohio Valley is looking more likely the first of the Week. If only the mean Trough had been a bit further Southwest. Cincinnati down to Charleston WV have had abundant Snow. As has Danville VA to the Tidewater up the Delmarva and points North. The Great Valley has had near average Snowfall (Todays Averages) with a few locations somewhat below. The Plateau has averaged overall slightly below north to well below South. The biggest below disparity has been much of middle Tn in our Forum. So close to having the coldest, snowiest Winter here since 2014-15. I wish something unforeseen would force the Trough further South so we could get the Goods Monday. However, doesn't look likely as features out west war against that happening.

Temperatures were there other than that winter sucked.

I give the winter a B- because we did get a significant winter storm end of last month. Ridge was too far east out west. In my area, we got glancing blows of cold air except for end of January where we had a solid week of cold. We typically get 1 winter storm, but occasionally its twice a winter.

Exactly. Ridge/Trough axis Mean was too far East.

  Winter Storms and Snowfall Averages have gradually decreased over the Decades. I think it's long term scale Cyclical instead of Man made as far as the Global Landscape. Greenland was once Farmland. Greenland was Frozen Tundra before that. Large Urban Areas have obvious man made effects. Oceans also are definitely affecting Climate as well. We can still cash in if things align right and have a banner Snowfall Winter.

Imo, if we get a +pdo and -amo, we should see colder winters more often. We are due for that soon I believe.

I do believe we are seeing the beginning signs of truly colder winters like in the 70’s had.  Record temps & a lot of snow is now happening all over the globe these last 2-3 winters.  I could be way wrong but the last 3 winters we have had some really cold weather for at least a couple of weeks.  This winter to me has been really cold compared to past winters.  We shall see, one can hope!

Another underperforming rainfall event. I can't remember the last time one overperformed. I bet it was the big flash flood back in August. Everything since then has delivered less than advertised.

Came out well with this one here. 1.32" . A bit more than forecast for here.

2.4 inches here. Creek is at a winter high today.

About the same here

Wow ! An inch more. Did you get thunder ?

Not that I heard. Just some heavyish rain for several hours.

It would be nice. We didn't do well in west tennessee. We did good with the winter storm, but that was it. No mini events or even flurries. I got sad when the heavy snow shifted north with that event in January lol. What's interesting is in January 2010, we had a big winter storm that went west to east and stayed suppressed with alot less blocking and this past one shifted north.

I never even heard it raining all that hard. I was shocked to see my rain gauge but all the creeks were almost out of their banks

Watching it pour to my north last night and now to my south tonight. Only 0.50” here.

That’s how it was here too but tonight, it’s crazy all of the severe weather (hail primarily) they have had in N MS, N AL, and NW GA. There is even a severe Tstorm right now headed straight for Chattanooga if it holds together. Kind of appears to be weakening at the moment.

I give winter an B in southeast Tennessee. Snowfall was slightly above normal IMBY which lifts it above C. A is reserved for a six inch thumper. B means I'm not complaining. I'm actually quite satisfied. 

Fighting the trend is hard too, so really a C would be a win. Temperatures are about half-way between the coldest and the warmest in Earth's history. Warm periods include tropical forests on Greenland and Arctica. Ice Ages oscillate between glaciation periods (what the public refers to ice ages) and interglacial periods which we are in right now (within the broader Ice Age). Will we glaciate, hold, or climb out of the Ice Age?

If the latter it would be an order or two magnitudes SLOWER than the current trend of warming. What has happened in the last 150 years and what is very likely in the next 150 years is 10 to 100 times faster than natural warming driven by Milankovitch Cycles. Rate is the problem, and why we assign the cause to human activity. I'm not calling for extreme action since cheap energy is the fastest route to end poverty, but I want to acknowledge the research. That's probably enough outside of the specific Climate forum, but that place is a hornet's nest.

From this point forward, look for me in the Severe Weather topic of our Regional forum.

The GFS fired a huge winter shot along and north of 40. Slim chance of course.
