    Wow that seems really bullish for the northern valley! I guess we will see. I can only assume they are counting on the higher ridge tops in these counties to produce the accumulations.

    Wow! Actually getting a bonafide storm with heavy rain and lightning right now! This little cluster of cells just kinda blew up! Edit: Actually picked up 0.64 out of that cell! It almost looks like it morphed into a small MCS. No doubt some places in Greene Co and over near Johnson City will have closer to an inch or more out of this!

    So I went to MRX fb page and found the answer. Apparently they are experimenting with the rest of the TN offices this year. They have decided not to issue frost/freeze products unless it occurs outside of the Oct1-April 30th timeframe. That means they basically won’t be issuing any products bc that would be exceptionally rare for it to occur outside of that period. The reasoning was that they felt like it was “confusing” if they issued an advisory or warning and it didn’t actually make it to frost or freezing temperatures. Or that they had to wait until late in the season ala 2016 when it was November 20th. To be fair they said they would still talk about the frost/freezing potential, but just “coloring up” a weather map just to issue an advisory was not something they were going to do anymore. They did say they welcome feedback preferably by email but also welcome to comment on fb too. I don’t really know what to think about it tbh. I think it’s borderline hogwash and reminds me of the old MRX truth be known but that’s my personal opinion.

    I agree DB. I saw on Nashville’s website that there was some new products that were going to be issued nationwide, but it said they would still do frost and freeze warnings/advidories. That doesn’t make sense that Tennessee would just opt out of the frost and freeze warning when everyone else is still issuing them.

    I was just wondering if the reason the winds died down here in Morristown had to do with the eye moving over. They went almost completely calm but have since picked back up again a little but nothing like a few hrs ago. Lots of trees down here and power is out in places here as well. It is amazing to think that the eye of a tropical system actually made it to and crossed through East TN!

    3.93in since midnight. Combined with the 0.44 yesterday brings me to 4.37 and we’re just getting started. This is easily the most rain I’ve seen in a 24hr period in a very long time!

    Earlier this morning we had a full on snow shower roll through most of the county. It looked ominous as it came over clinch mountain and rolled into the valley. Unfortunately I didn’t get to make a picture or video as I was driving at the time. Lasted maybe 5-10min, but the flakes were quarter sized and bigger.

    Just had a sleet/snow shower roll through town here as well. Kinda crazy for April! Kinda like a last hurrah for winter I guess.

    Just had some graupel and wet snow mixed in with the rain here at the house!

    Yeah the GFS has been steadily increasing amounts for E TN, but can it be trusted. It doesn’t have much support at all from the other models.

    Did the NCAA try to hijack the Mjo plots this morning? Lol, for some reason they aren’t displaying right. It’s like a kid took a marker and drew lines all the way from phase 7 through the circle and at the border of phase 3 and 4 across and off the chart haha!

    The cell blowing up to my east around Greeneville looks pretty intense! I just heard it thunder here at the house! We sure are getting several days of lightning and thunder under our belts. That 10 day rule is gonna be put to a serious test!

    24° and thick freezing fog this morning here at the house. I didn’t think it was going to get quite this cold last night. It will be interesting to see how trees and things look when the sun comes up in a little bit.

    Awe heck it’s lightning and thundering all of a sudden! A decent storm is blowing up in Grangier Co. across the lake from me! Mark it down boys! 10 days!

    That’s a good point about the freezing rain locking the snow in. Once you break the top iced over layer, it’s a powdery as it ever was under that ice. Amazing that it’s lasted this long. Only south facing slopes and ditch banks are showing bare spots around here, and of course roof tops that face directly into the sun. Quite literally one of the longest lasting events I’ve seen in many years!
