  1. Sleet, snow, and chunks of ice falling from the sky. Crazy how some of it is clumping up as it falls. Already coated everything and out performed the last 2 "events" here.
  2. Woke up to a dusting here in Knox. Some fine dandruff falling right now at a steady clip.
  3. Yeah, was colder than news stations were showing at my house this morning. My weather station was at a frosty 24 in Knox. Ground should be pretty cold with little sun today as well.
  4. While not a lot of direct hits persay, the pattern is ripe looking at the models. I like where we are. Much better to be where we are when the inevitable NW trends set in. Regardless, feels like we are playing with house money after the Christmas snow.
  5. Yeah upon closer inspection it looks like the 500 vortex map correlates with what is happening on the low cloud fraction map, with some clouds crashing against the mountains.
  6. Noticed this in MRX discussion: Another spoke of cold air aloft rotates across the area during the afternoon Christmas Day. Scattered snow showers and/or flurries expected across southwest Virginia and northeast Tennessee. An additional light accumulations possible, generally less than 1/2 inch. This is separate from the banding depicted on the models after the main moisture pulls away, correct?
  7. Hey everyone, been a while and I don't post a whole lot but I am now living in the Knoxville area after living in Asheville for a few years. I posted somewhat infrequently when I lived in Johnson City several years before AVL. Anyway, just wanted to say hello! I appreciate this forum and I am looking forward to posting some obs. Hopefully this Friday.
  8. Yeah, at my house it is 35 but the models don't seem to have me getting there for another 4 or 5 hours.
  9. I got to say, regardless of what I get, I am pretty excited for the people in the deep south to see this much snow. Would love it if some of Alabama of Mississippi got buried. I am sure snow weenies there have been waiting years for such an event. I can't imagine waiting years between significant snows. Hopefully schools are prepared and closing down in those area. would hate to see another ATL situation. Are there any warnings there yet?
  10. Yeah, the hi-res nam is pretty great for picking up on dry slots and overall precipitation right before a storm in my experience. The past few winters I think it has done a pretty good job of picking up on the effects of terrain and temps as well. Probably my favorite short range model.
