Carvers Gap Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Per the 18z 3K NAM…I do think this builds some to the north and west of 81 in TRI….but just not sold this goes to anywhere near Euro levels in that area. What I am getting is just cold air wringing out moisture at the lower levels. I would guess the 3K NAM adjusts sharply downward at 0z for areas west of 81. But I am willing to give it a chance. With storms like these, I have watched this set up too many times to name…often it just never builds back this direction. Holding steady at 1.25” of snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlunderStorm Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 2.6 inches on the measurement site and closing in on 4 in the grass with the old stuff. A combination of artificial and moonlight has visibility around three quarters of a mile with the flakes being very fine but numerous. 20F with calm breeze from the NNE. Patiently waiting for reinforcements hoping I'm not too NW yet I can't complain, this is one of the prettiest snows I have seen this decade. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago There is an initial round of snow working its way through Hamilton County. The orientation is wrong for what I expect the main show to be. It honestly just resembles normal NW flow. I think as the ULL moves in this will re-orient into nearly a due N-S direction. Seeing some ground truth MPING reports in the city now. Nothing IMBY yet, but we should get some light precipitation shortly. 32 here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While obviously too light overall, the heaviest portions of this are present, but are displaced to the west by 20-30 miles. If that holds true for the entire event, could be good news for SE TN. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Got a nice dusting now, very wind blown snow. If get any appreciable snow I could see there being drifts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Also this Arctic front has all on its own over performed from what most models seemed to show. I expect we'll have a bit of a lull with maybe just flurries after this initial fropa before the actual ULL snows start up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Looking east of me in west knox it seems the Radar wants to build in. It will kind of pulse and make you think it is going to then backs off. Just Don't have enough knowledge to know what or if this means anything. I know we have got a little less than a half inch, and we need it to fill in much more to get more than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas Lang Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 16 minutes ago, Tucker1027 said: This is what the HRRR says is happening right now…. . I don't really understand the purpose of the HRRR? I hardly ever look at it even in regardless of season. Never seems it initialize with correct radar from the start and does not seem to recognize terrain as I never see any rhyme or reason to precipitation patterns. Never seems to pick up on NWF showers or any lighter moisture either. Not trying to dunk on it, legitimately asking: what is this model good at and what is it used for? I prefer NAM and RGEM. Way better at temps and noticing dry slotting depending on scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie16 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I don’t think any model picked up on the moisture moving due south outta Michigan. Might be another suprise tomorrow.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago I guess it's NW flow with the Arctic air but it's still rolling quarters and nickels here. Down to 21.6 degrees. It's extremely fluffy, a normal snowball sized handful gets you about a ping pong ball sized one. I've somewhat overperformed the half inch forecast now. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyhound Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Temp is at 26, been snowing steady for about three hours and have a decent amount from what I can tell……but surprised the roads are clear in our neighborhood. Kinda confused on that one. . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBOVolz Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago The snow has been pretty moderate to maybe even a little more than moderate at times but now the flake size is getting bigger. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get in on some of those. The main circulation should produce some heavy area's. May be more banded in nature but could be pretty intense imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Nasty Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Can confirm snow and 32° in Ooltewah. Went outside 10 minutes ago and nothing was falling, but it had that "smell and feel" in the air with the snowy looking sky. Let's hope it continues.Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
