    Fwiw the CMC from 0z has the upslope this weekend as well.

    0.52in of rain from this system today and yesterday. For me, that’s more than I’ve had in over a month from any 1 system.

    Bottomed out at 31, but will likely be colder tonight. On that note, look at how massive an area the freeze warning for tonight covers. Can’t ever remember seeing that big of an area so early in the season be under a freeze warning!

    Bottomed out at 37 this AM. There was a pretty good bit of frost in the lowest areas around here as well. Actually have had a couple other mornings since it’s been getting cold now with isolated frost in these same low lying areas. These cold mornings and warm dry afternoons should really speed up the Fall foliage in a hurry!

    Ended up with 0.25in from Ian. Honestly more than I thought we would get, but we have now moved to the extreme northern part of the county on Cherokee Lake. Which, the way this county sits puts me further east than I was and got me in one of the more moderate bands of rain for a little while last night. This was another one of those sharp gradient storms that we sometimes see. If you go into town where we were living, it drops off considerably to around .10 and if you go to the far southwest side of the county less than that.

    Ended up with about 1.5in from Friday night-today! Finally the extended dry spell has ended. 2.22in for the week. I know other areas have seen so much more, but it’s been crazy how hard it has been to get good rains in this part of the valley.

    Finally had a decent rain last night here at the house. Picked up 0.51in. We’ve also been missing out on most of the heavier rains since the first of June. For June, we picked up a total of 1.43in and so far July 0.75in. Needless to say, we’ve had to water, water, water. I’m sure my water bill will be sky high! I’m really hoping that tonight into tomorrow maybe we can finally pick up at least an inch from a storm or two.

    There have been several very intense snow showers here today as well! Every time one is rolling in, the wind just starts bowling. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it snow in April and almost mid April at that

    Just had one of those mix showers here with heavy drops and melting flakes that splat on your windshield. The temp also dropped 7 degrees here as well

    Picked up 0.02in today. The system just hit a brick wall as it moved NE it seems. I think convection along the coast robbed a good bit of the energy as well, which led to a sharp drop off the further north you go. Looks like we could see a few showers this evening/overnight, but now have to pin our hopes on tomorrow and whatever can be squeezed out on Friday/Saturday

    It’s been dry here too this month! According to old folklore, one of the things you never want to see in spring and summer is a rainbow. They usually portend long periods of dry or relatively dry weather coming up. Unfortunately for me on March 23, there was a rainbow after we picked up 0.36in of rain. The last system this past week put out 0.06 on Wed night and 0.04in on Thursday. This put my monthly total at 2.43in. Looking at model output for tomorrow it looks like NE TN is in a relative minimum again for precip. Not what you want to see when it’s getting dry. Hopefully we get back to a more normal rainfall pattern here soon.

    Did anyone in E TN hit the single digits? Seems like all the stations are running about 5-10 degrees above guidance? Looks like the wind never really fully died down until the last minute before sunrise. That may have prevented the drop that was anticipated. I bottomed out at 14 but now back up to 15. Forecast low was 10. I saw TYS was at 18 there forecast low was also 10. Overall a good storm. I finally hit double digit snowfall on the year with 10.5 now for the season after yesterday. Interestingly this 14 degree reading and 1 other is the coldest temp that I’ve had for the year. Should have at least made it to the single digits 1 time, but I guess this year it was just not meant to be.

    Managed to get to 3in here at the house. It was a fun event for sure! Congrats to Knox and surrounding areas. Y’all really racked up this time!

    Seems like I saw a post from carver earlier this AM about a meso-low running up the spine of the apps or maybe even just this side. Could that have robbed this area or created a slight downslope component
  15. Jed33
    That’s cool I moved out to the lake outside of Russellville, so lost some elevation now, unfortunately will probably pay the price each time it snows. My wife and daughter had to go to a cheer competition this AM in Sevierville-she said it was heavier in Morristown where I used to live. She said she only had 1 place where the road was slick.
  16. Jed33
    How much do you have there?
  17. Jed33
    Snow has picked back up again. Maybe I can get to 3in. System just kinda ran out of steam from Morristown east and north. 2-3in amounts are the norm here
  18. Jed33
    It’s been a real struggle to surpass 2.5in here. I’m not sure what has caused the slow accumulation, but the returns just kept getting eaten up. Either dry air or downsloping or maybe both. Maybe the last part of this storm will be more kind to us in Hamblen and western Greene. Edit: Snow has picked up again here now moderate to heavy so we’ll see what happens now. The temp is 26 so that will definitely help with the ratio

    Went to bed at midnight and just woke up. Ground is covered and even the road is starting to cave heavy snow-looks like I have maybe close to 2in on cars.

    Near zero at 12z Sunday morning

    My office manager also lived in MI and has told me that before! If it’s not over a foot she said they don’t really think anything of it

    Does the Jap maple already have tender young shoots and leaves? If so, man I don’t know. Hopefully the snow will insulate it. I’ve seen cherries in bloom covered with 2in of snow and they were fine but it wasn’t nearly as cold as the projections for Sunday AM. Unfortunately at 10 degrees (and maybe lower depending on snowpack) I don’t know that you will be able to do very much more than the snow will do. If you cover them today with the sun out you will bake them and kill them. If you cover them with a sheet and get a heavy snow on them better have something to prop them up with so the sheet doesn’t get too heavy with the snow and crush them. Then there’s the whole so cold it may freeze inside the”dome” even with the sheets the wind also does as much damage as anything

    I just love the way this looks on the screen! This is the 0z GDPS (Canadian). This is as classic of a track and look for E TN as you can get. It may not pan out this way but it sure is pretty to look at!
  24. Jed33
    It ticked ever so slightly back south/southeast. Better than 18z for sure
  25. Jed33
    And look at the low temps Sunday AM in the lower single digits across the area! It has a cold bias though in general, but with 1/2 foot of snow on the ground it would certainly be possible
