*Flash*

If winter is over, my location wraps up with about ~8.5" which for this part of the state, is fine by me. On a side note, February for western BNA suburbs are pretty much at 0 for monthly temp departures. I know we're about to warm up but relative to recent Februarys, I'm grateful for a seasonal second month of the year.

A fresh inch overnight (taken on top of my van which I cleared off yesterday). Totally unexpected. Got to think verification odds were under 1% for my location (news outlets had flurries passing north of here towards the plateau but that was it). Apparently the lake-effect nature of the squalls have had a more southerly orientation. Total storm accumulation now sits at 3.7”.

2.7” in the Bluff. Would have appreciated more but this will be enough for snowplay today.

A light snow/ice pellet mix has started in White Bluff. Technically, about 15-20 minutes in. Dusting on the cars, porch tables, and rooftops.

The car is parked, windshield wipers up, GoPro and Wyze v3 on standby. Just hopin' the downslope radar and Dry Air Monster cooperate.

I thought the same thing! And that was even as I took the garbage out.

Not disappointed in the 12z ICON and RGEM, especially for the northwestern half of TN.

Per Bobby Boyd: “6 am 2/17. Update for snow across Middle Tennessee Tuesday night through Wednesday morning 2/18-19. I have trimmed back total snow amounts by about one inch, but mesoscale banding, if it occurs, can raise totals above what I have in some areas. I'll be watching the Geostrophic equivalent potential vorticity above the Frontogenetic layer in an attempt to predict the heavy snow bands. I expect snow to start in the Nashville area Tuesday evening and end around noon Wednesday. Snow totals in Nashville around 3 inches.”

Finally, % of at least 1". Sorry, Polk County...

WPC FWIW. Notable gradient over I-40 so I'd say it's legit...

I thought these were interesting. Note Nashville proper is one of the hot spots.

Man, OHX got their Winter Storm Watch out earlier than usual! Gotta think confidence is increasing...

I don't hate my location with the midweek system. Just sucks to see another case of weakening energy ahead of the transfer. Seems like our area is ideal for losing juice. This is a primary reason why our 4-6+" last month turned into a 3-5" situation.

I'm rooting for this, not only because it's a great forum-wide look but because our NC friends can have a nice score as well!

I don't disagree, though I'm fairly confident a decent chunk of our viewing area will experience a wintry mess, at the very least the NW quadrant of the midstate.

Nice to see likely probs (along and north of 40) from the EPS this far out...

Currently 43 and very light rain/ice pellets against a relative humidity of 48%. Another night on which I wish I could be just 100 miles north.

My gut says prepare for heartbreak as we’re too far south in the battleground setup BUT like last month, this first system may set the table for the next.

Or (a wintry mix of) all of the above. Usually that selection on a multiple choice test is the correct one.

Not every day I’m reminded of Lady Gaga on the forum.

Bam Wx posted an update vid today validating much of what Carver has been saying in recent days. I learned while MJO Phase 4 and 6 are crapshoots for the TN Valley, sometimes the OH Valley can squeeze out a surprise in Phase 5. Not as blowtorch-y in that phase. We'll see what can happen as we rotate through. Still optimistic for late February/early March.

I'd take a few snow showers just for the wintry vibes but I'm probably too far west for even that. Like you, I'm so freakin' bored right now, I'm refreshing my wet bulb calculator every 15 minutes. Go Bills!!!

On this day 25 years ago, the Carolina Crusher struck putting down 2’ along an unusual corridor east of the Apps and generally west of 95 up through northern VA. Didn’t realize until today the busted forecast led to the creation of WPC!

Also happened in February 1996.
