  1. Morning disco from Memphis…. This weekend will be our first real taste of winter. A secondary cold front (https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=front) will push through Saturday morning with 850 temps plunging to -8 C (https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=C) by Sunday morning. Highs will be cold each day with readings in the 30s and lows in the teens and 20s. This polar air will remain in place and set the stage for a potentially significant winter storm Monday into Tuesday. Models have some discrepancies wrt to QPF (https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=QPF) and temperatures at nearly 8 days out, but all ensemble (https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=ensemble) and deterministic guidance points to at least some potentially impactful accumulations of snow, sleet, and/or ice. Stay tuned. .
  2. SPC added ETn to the general thunderstorm outlook for tomorrow. I’m convinced it’s gonna snow. [emoji23] .
  3. Actually had a sleet storm in my area with temps in the low 40’s. .
  4. Kinda surprised… it’s puking the snow just above Gatlinburg. Cam is at 3k feet New Found Gap at 24 degrees .
  5. Ironically it would save all our shrubs/landscaping if it would snow when it’s that cold. .
  6. 95-96 was almost epic for Knoxville. We had one big snow and a bunch of snow-rain-snow events. 20 miles NE of Knoxville looked like Mt Leconte for a month or so. That was so close to setting records in Knoxville. .
  7. I just told a friend who’s been begging me for snow….”you better watch what you wish for”. He said yeah whatever. I said “buddy, I’m not kidding either”. .
  8. Snows a couple times a week in the Arctic Circle. When it gets below 25 degrees here it’s too dry with the GOM 450 miles away. [emoji1745] .
  9. Thank you. Everything has went perfect, no surprises after they got in there. .
  10. Thank you. She’s so much stronger than me. Last couple of years has been rough. She had the brain tumor in 2021. It took about a year to be normal again and now this but God is good and our faith is strong. Just another bump in the road. .
  11. It’s not a big deal. I’m just now beginning to catch back up. My wife had a double mastectomy on Wednesday and we came home yesterday afternoon. So for the last several days I haven’t been able to keep up. To be honest, ever since my wife’s cancer diagnosis at the end of November I haven’t really cared much about the weather. Im ready to get back to normal life now, 33 and rain. .
  12. Anyone concerned with all of these cutters acting like a roadblock? .
  13. How is this even possible when I got 3 little snows last year in the valley? .
  14. I’ve had a lot of personal stuff going on and haven’t been able to follow much….. is the cold that’s coming keep getting pushed back a day at a time? Looks like the middle of Jan we could be in business? .
  15. I could really get excited about this if that low popped further south .
  16. I agree. I’ve felt like he’s a guy who plays football but doesn’t love football. One of my best friends is the parental guardian for Tyre West #42. He had an awesome game today. I can tell you the team was very excited for Nico to play today. Our OL needs some help though. Was missing 3 started but still not good. .
  17. Talking about the snow records…. I’m not sure this helps or not but a few years ago we had a minor snow event, 2-5” across the valley. The official accumulation for Knoxville that day was around one inch. MRX the next day released a statement explaining the reason for that. They said they check for snow amounts twice a day, AM/PM. It started snowing after the morning opps and they checked again at 5pm where they recorded 1 inch. They actually acknowledged that earlier in the day there was 3+ inches on the ground but it had melted down to one inch when they checked it. I still call BS on this. I’ve never heard them say that they check for snow twice a day. They do not do that for rain or the temps. That particular system, MRX was calling for .5-1” for Knoxville. During the height of the storm, we had almost 4” and traffic was a disaster. Felt like to me that MRX was padding their accuracy percentage. [emoji1745] .
