Wurbus Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Same. Finally puking snow at 20.7 degrees 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago HRRR sticking to its guns, shows this being active through 3pm with remarkably similar totals run to run for this area. Which are actually going up since we already have snow on the ground that it isn't initializing with. Edit: Now ripping dimes and nickels! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago 5.5 inches, tiny flakes but very thick and foggy looking, its 15 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housemtnTN Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Ripping out my way. Visibility has gotta be less than 1/4 mile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago This isn't quite developing the way the HRRR seems to think it should, which was down the Apps and expanding NW, but a big shield is developing over the Plateau and its heading towards the valley. The radar does look like it's itching to explode down the 75 corridor to the mountains of SE TN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Looks like the radar is about to light up over TellicoWx soon. It's quickly filling Blount County and extending down into Monroe County now. I see that the Tri-Cities has 5+ already and Tys over 2. Hopefully our NE Tn crew us doing well. I hope Holston's snow hole wasn't a thing either.

Stovepipe Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I did not expect huge chunky flakes with this system... but I'm over here watching quarters pile up. It's a beauty. 20.7 degrees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a beauty. 20.7 degrees. That's when I started really accumulating fairly quickly. It got up to about 3/4ths inch to 1 inch per hour for a few hours.

John based on what has fallen and what could still yet to fall taking into count hi res models duration left, what do you think areas around Greeneville through Johnson City end up with?

I think the 10+ projections from models that way will probably verify. The ratios are incredible so it will really stack up. I can't account for micro climates there because I don't know them like the folks who live there. But I did see that this was overperforming around Bristol at least. And Tri had 5 inches 2 hours ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a beauty. 20.7 degrees. Yeah I've been getting quarters mixed with smaller flakes. Then an occasional wind gust blows clouds of blowing snow off my roof and it swirls around. I'm at about 2 inches now which was the high end of my MRX forecast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housemtnTN Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I think I'm about to have goose feathers. This is wild. Visibility is probably less than 1/10 mile, just absolutely puking it all out! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago I'm down to about 1/4th inch per hour now, hopefully it can keep up here until 9am at least. That would get me another inch and a half. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a spot where I measure and a spot that I clean off every three hours to measure. That will give you a good idea of your rates. And in cases where the snow is wetter than this, it will give you a better measurement of how much snow actually fell since you won't have as much compaction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Heaviest I've had yet, mostly big flakes at the moment. I'm really surprised because I thought I might miss the edge of the snow almost completely. If it does this all night I'm going to bust big. I'm already passed forecast amount. Approaching warning criteria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stovepipe Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Looking at the mosaic radar it seems like it might be slightly rotating counter-clockwise or wobbling right over east TN, sweeping in the southern areas along the way. Doesn't appear to be going anywhere any time soon, which matches the general look of the HRRR. 19.8 degrees currently here. Hope we can keep the chunky flakes with temps in the teens! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the best and worst part about ULLs. At times their banding may give an area 6 inches, and 20 miles away that area may only get an inch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Woke up and took a walk. We had huge half-dollar flakes and 3-4 inches on the ground. It is still ripping, but the flakes are smaller. That happened fast. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
