AMZ8990

Light snow is now falling at my house this morning. Concrete walkway, driveway, grill and all that good stuff is all white now. Starting to see minor accumulation in the grass as well. It’s a beautiful morning!

Looks like most of the west Tn has been upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning now. Pretty long warning timeframe too, 12pm Sunday to 12AM Tuesday morning.

@WestTennWX can you add the dates of this storm into the thread name please. 2/14-2/16 etc

Goodness Gracious!! Hahaha. Getting anywhere on I-40 would be a disaster

Interesting. It’s pretty cool how we can dive into the details for 100+ years of winter weather thanks to all the historical weather data we have.

If they got 17 inches that would be good for the 8 snowiest season of all time in Memphis since 1894. If they got over 17.5 they’d be good for 7th all time, passing 1904-1905 -17.5 inches 25.1 inches is the all time record in Memphis, it happened in the 1917-1918 winter season. Jonesboro, Arkansas broke their record in 1917-18 with 37.1 inches as well, Little Rock, Arkansas did the same that year with 26 inches exactly. Jackson, Tn all time snowiest season occurred in 1984-85 with 24.7”. 10th place on their all time list is 9.5 so It’s possible they could break into the top 10 with these systems as well.

I was trying to think when the last 5-6+ event was for Memphis and the surrounding areas. I feel like it’s been atleast 21 years cause I don’t ever remember a storm that big in my time living here. Not sure what happened In the 90’s but I’m pretty sure 1985 had a 10+ event in Memphis that year. I know northwest Tn has had some big events in the past 10-20 years though, especially the TN/Kentucky border counties.

Yeah it was, 9inch range on top of my house that run. Pretty wide swath of 8-9 in Fayette and Hardeman counties with the 8 inch line on the Fayette/Shelby county border. Overall, that’s probably the best run of the Euro we could ever ask for at this stage for the mid south and west Tn.

Heck yeah, always great when you can make good money working while going to school full time.

Gotcha. Glad to hear your son is still doing great things with his gymnastics! That’s awesome that he’s coaching, takes a special person to be able to coach imo.

Yeah that is horrific, feel bad for all those involved. Those accidents with Big Rigs rarely end well, I’ve had my CDL 3 months now and I’ve had to watch some gut wrenching videos in my classes/training.

Awesome, thanks for the breakdown Jax. That layer of ice could make things extra sketchy on the roads. Hope you and the family are doing well!

U guys get some ice accumulation last night?

Hope everyone is ok. It’s been a bad week for car pileups due to winter weather.

Light Snow this morning in Hardeman county. Cars and roofs are all white with a light glaze of snow and you can see it on the grass/ground in spots vaguely. Cold air is really pulling any and all moisture out of the atmosphere the past 2 days. Nothing of any significant accumulation but it’s cool to see such little snow stick so well to surfaces due to the frigid air in place

To put this system into perspective a little bit, and to show how powerful this cold air mass really is. Galveston and Houston Texas are in this winter storm watch. North of the Houston metro they are calling for 1-3 inches. The beaches in Galveston could be snow covered and icy this weekend, that in and of itself is pretty amazing to me.

Winter Storm Watches now In effect for all of west Tn, all of north Mississippi+central and south western Mississippi, literally the ENTIRE state of Arkansas, and nearly the entire state of Texas, and most of north Louisiana. The scope of this event is crazy when you see the national watch/warnings map. Go to weather.gov if you want to see the picture for yourself, it will be the first thing you see once you’re on their website.

Looks like the majority of Arkansas is now in that winter storm watch as well with the exception of far eastern Arkansas at this time.

It’s nice to have good support from the Euro! I know personally I always hope for it to be in our corner/s for any events in our forum wide area. Pretty wide swath of 4inch snow for a lot of the mid south and 2-3 into most of north Mississippi. On a side note-One of these days though I’m gonna have to get Jax to give me a tutorial for the deterministic forecast table, lol.

Had some light snow fall for a little bit at my house also. Not much but you can definitely see it on the cars and stuff.

Thanks for all you do brotha, and I really appreciate you sharing all these maps with us! It doesn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated I assure you!

Thanks, I’m cool with the existing thread for now. If we get to Sunday and things are looking great then we may want to make a new thread just for historical reference since a lot of people like to go back through our winter storm threads for data, learning material, etc.

I will say this, a lot of times the NWS is a few steps behind on their forecasting. I’m in no way saying they aren’t good at what they do. But they’ve proven to be overly conservative more times than not. Weather.com and their forecasting system is always a few steps ahead of NWS, I saw it happen multiple times last week when I was in Des Moines.

We can make a new one or we can integrate into the thread westtnwx made. I’m flexible either way. If westtnwx doesn’t respond by lunch then we can make a new thread though.

I wouldn’t worry much at this point, most of what is modeled to fall would be after 12z Monday so that’s why you’re not seeing it on this map.
