    It happens. I missed meaningful accums both to my north and south today. I'm saving my luck for a good one in late January.

    Forgot to mention I lost power for three hours last night immediately after the front came through. Luckily the wood stove was cranking!

    I'm at -2 with just a coating of snow along I-65 in Marshall county. RGEM and Canadian were spot on with my minimal accumulation. I'm not sure this is one where you eastern guys can entirely blame the Plateau for the lack of snow. I think the dynamics and trajectory of the system were just yanking it to the northeast. I usually do pretty well compared to the Memphis to Nashville corridor even though I'm 50 miles south of Nashville. Not this time. My elevation, topography, and ruralness got me nothing.

    Pretty sure you are correct. I know Nashville averages more snow in March than December. Obviously March is warmer, but its also prone to some big hitters with snow. December, seems to be more likely to have little nickel and dime events.

    Ugggh..... Nashville only reached 40 degrees once during the 1983 holiday 9 day arctic plunge. You guessed it.... it rained over an inch that day and other than some token flakes/dustings it was basically bone dry and frigid the rest of the time. I think most of the state got a couple of events during January 84, but the repeated cold/cutter combo had to be painful during that period.

    Unfortunately, I think that's pretty normal. There is a large urban/rural split in many areas. Plus in much of middle and eastern TN topography as you mentioned is a huge variable, especially in regards to overnight lows during a dry fall. I'm in a hilly area in southern middle TN and commonly see 10 degree differences over just a couple of miles this time of year even in my mostly rural county. Our growing season is almost always over before we see the actual frost/freeze warnings.

    Jackson, KY radar looks great upstream for you!

    I measured 3" on the snowboard but got some 4-5" measurements in the yard. This is one where the patio table and back deck measurements will probably be especially high because of all the snow blowing off of the rooftops. OHX only measured 2.8" but lots of 4-5" reports around Nashville.

    Anafrontal snow. I think we had about the same thing on January 3rd.

    Came across this online today:

    Only had a dusting at the house, but it looked like half an inch just a couple miles away. HRRR and NAM 3K nailed the idea of minor accums from the streamers in middle TN.

    The January 84 dates coincided with a 3.5" snow in Nashville that laid on the ground for over a week due to a major cold shot that included four days in a row with below 0 lows! The double weighted February 97 dates were nothing to write home about though.

    I did some rudimentary monthly snowfall numbers for Nashville several years ago. While January was the snowiest month, it was only a slight edge. So slight in fact, that if you divided the monthly average by the number of calendar days, that February actually averaged slightly more snow per day. It just likes to snow in February even though the average temp is going up and days are getting longer. I suspect it has to do with the longer wavelengths and slightly less chance of a cold and dry pattern. As far as the LR pattern, I'll let those of you who know more break it down. However, to me it looks like the trough wants to set up a touch farther west, which should give us more chances than we've had this week. Question is, will it set up too far west and give us rainy cutters that benefit Oklahoma and Missouri, or potentially give us a shot at some over running wintry precip followed by serious cold.

    We've spiked well above forecast into the low 60s. Actually feels nice outside.
  15. Coach B
    Can't complain at this point in the winter for most of middle TN based on this map. Looks like Oklahoma and the TX Panhandle along with much of Illinois and Indiana are the biggest losers.
  16. Coach B
    It was almost ridiculously low for my area. It was so consistently low I questioned what in the world it was blending? Not any of the models I was checking.
  17. Coach B
    Ended up with a little over 4". Elevation definitely helped.
  18. Coach B
    I measured a full inch already here in Marshall county. It was absolutely dumping quarter sized flakes at 5:30. Unfortunately it has switched back to rain. Kind of surprised that it flipped back after pouring heavy snow.
  19. Coach B
    HRRR has been giving me near foot totals here in Marshall county, yet the NBM is showing less than an inch. I have no idea what it's blending, but it's not any of the models I'm watching. The fv3 and see of the SREF family is really low, maybe that's it.
  20. Coach B
    Excellent shift to the south for southern middle and much of east TN.
  21. Coach B
    Amen to this. Although for all of us in the less than perfect locations off of the Upper Cumberland I'll take a 2" all snow event over the risky mix or 4"+ gamble.
  22. Coach B
    Finished with 5.5" on the snowboard. Power is still on, but it's touch and go.
  23. Coach B
    Official forecast was 1-3. I'll be surprised if there are not some 6" jackpots in southeast middle TN.
  24. Coach B
    According to Google maps, everything south and east of Nashville is slow, including the interstates.
  25. Coach B
    Just saw a picture of 5" on the Marshall/Lincoln county line. It was still snowing.
