    Down to 40 already. Some locations nearby in the upper 30s. I guess we have to wait and see how stout the 850 jet is.

    Same here too:

    Some heavy graupnel and snow in Wartburg. Visibility drops pretty quick under one of these showers:

    Had a few sleet pellets earlier, but that was about it so far. Some thunderstorm type dark clouds as it rolled through though.

    About 2 inches so far now. EPS mean starting to show 7 inches in some spots over the next 15 days: Individual city charts:

    I'm at 1.4" since midnight and the firehose really just started in the past half hour. Not promising to see a bunch of flash flood warnings in its wake:

    Firehose has geared up for the evening. The only question is where will it ultimately aim?
  8. Holston_River_Rambler
    How far is your location above flood plain?

    Watchlist for now. Fortune's wheel may yet spin out a new fate and besides, upslope may be lookin' good for the plateau with this upper level energy around day 5 on the Euro.

    Saw some people talking about severe thunderstorms with snow in NE today. Thought I'd share: Heavy snow and hail, lol

    Same here. Had a few good thunder showers last evening.

    Fun time fog development this AM: As I was driving to Kingsport this AM, fog rolled in at Oliver Springs and ended at Strawberry Plains. No fog before Oliver Springs though. Satellite shows it hitting the plateau and I guess the dewpoints were lower??

    Happy Hour GFS brings a snowpacalyspe just off the NE coast. Yes that is a 939 low!!!

    Merry Christmas to all! I ventured forth to the land of Carvers today and lo I saw a sign: Yeah and verily even over the Holston River itself. A bald eagle watching the river. But as I approached more closely it flew away. Perhaps it is a sign the American models will come to our aid after the new year. It did fly SWerly though, so maybe not, lol!

    I have discovered what happened. In late October, of an evening, I was attending a wedding. It was beautiful. Even more beautiful than most. Perhaps, even more beautiful than a December snow, when the AO is positive. On my way home, back to Morgan County, I decided it would be a good idea to get a Cruze Farm pizza. Now, for those of you not blessed to have lived in east Knox county the past few years, Cruze Farm has crafted a pizza barn. Handmade, woodfired pizza: as good as it gets. Now, to be fair, I was in a good mood, no a great mood after a rainy wedding. Normally, a rainy wedding might put a person off, but this wedding was at a venue suited for sun, clouds, rain, or snow, because it was in an old(ish) school's gym, on the banks of the Holston. The rain put no damper on my mood and the thought of the pizza later that evening only buoyed it further. When I got to the pizza barn though, the skies were alive: (That is real footage from Strawberry Plains area at the pizza barn on October 19.) I knew that the ancient Romans practiced augury, the practice of observing the flight of birds and from that extrapolating the future. "What does this portend?" I asked myself. And then I knew the answer. The birds must be summoned to flap the TPV into an auspicious place. I, myself, was no augur. So I knew I had to just let it go and try to enjoy my pizza, no matter how hard it was. Days past. Fall arrived. Then a month. Snows fell: I thought: "This will be a winter to remember!" But alas, mid-December came and reality set in. However, up to then I had only seen the Mandalorian, and only knew of the powers of baby yoda. 'Tis it, I thought, shall rend the SPV in twain and force the cold air south. But now, after watching The Rise of Skywalker, I know the truth. My hope was misplaced. Baba Frick 4 life.

    Would have been beautiful!

    Interesting line of enhancement overnight running from the Smokies to the plateau: Any ideas on that one? Looks to me it runs almost directly E to W, starting just north of Mt Le Conte and ending at the plateau near Harriman. You can even see some subsidence north of it and reenhancement north of the subsidence. Infared kinda shows it too as some of the cloud tops cool on the leeside of the Smokies, but it doesn't look as linear here.

    And of course only 10:1 ratios will do here:

    Beat me to it, lol!

    I think the GFS is about to give us an epic slider!
  22. Holston_River_Rambler
    Timing was perfect, had to have been the rocket:
  23. Holston_River_Rambler
    I never seen noctilucent clouds here, but maybe this was what I saw this AM: That's about what it looked like. Man I wish I had gotten a photo.
  24. Holston_River_Rambler
    Some rain/ snow mix here in Morgan County now.
  25. Holston_River_Rambler
    The cell over my area right now means business. Loudest thunder, heaviest rain, and most lightning of the night. Headed your way John.
