That's too cold for my wife. I'm off work today and thought about driving up there. We'll stay put today amd maybe make some chili. South Chatty areas only had a few quick, dry snow showers.

A small surprise can happen. At this point, give me 1" of snow to make the roads white and icy, and I'll be happy. I don't want automobile accidents, of course, just a mini version of Atlanta Snowmageddon. I hope you score a decent event. Still time to ignore models and let Mother Nature do her thing!

Good luck! The Tennessee Valley is pulling for you! I hope you get something!

We had 3 separate 5 minute flizzards. At this time, Im hoping for a big enough plume of moisture to sneak NW and manage 1" to cover the roads on Tuesday. If that happens, we'll have white roads and green grass.

You must live in Ooltewah too.

Radar over Lincoln Financial at gametime looks like my Falcons , ragged. Edit to add: go Philly!

Try posting from Tapatalk. Thats the only way it will let me post pictures without using a link to a hosting site.

Reading the forecast discussion for both of your areas is very promising. Those guys are the pros. If I were in either one of your locations. I'd feel pretty good about a good snow.

Before I fell asleep last night, I was reading an article from a met based in Missouri. He used to be based in Charlotte. I'll look for the link later on my lunch break. He says as suppressed as the midweek storm looks, don't be surprised if that push of Arctic air modifies quite a bit compared to what is depicted currently on models. If that happens, more qpf could make its way as far north as the Kentucky line, and possibly drop anywhere from. 25-.40" of qpf for parts of Tennessee. With a high ratio snow, that would quickly accumulate for several forum members. I'm not wishcasting, just repeating what a met mentioned. A late model shift and I guess anything is possible.

I still have Tennessee Weather Spot on my favorites on an older computer. The site doesn't work anymore, but I actually pulled it up last week out of curiosity. The site is now down and It wouldn't let me log in. If I remember correctly, didn't he die young from heart disease? Man, I used to love reading the arguments between Toot and other posters. I sort of remember he lived in Cocke County and playing the mandolin. I never met him in person, I just remember reading his posts over the years.

Peachtree City is already mentioning 10 days down the road. The wording seems that they are mentioning it because everyone is already sharing huge storm totals on social media. [emoji16] Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 307 PM EST Sun Jan 12 2025 I feel like I`m having to do this too much for a meteorologist in Georgia, but let`s once again take a moment to discuss the potential for some winter weather middle of next week. Yet again, we are seeing a few of the operational models occasionally spit out a significant winter event for our area, giving some eye popping 10:1 snow maps ripe for slapping up on social media. With signs that we will have yet another significant Arctic front move through the area by the end of the week into early next week, we will certainly be in a set-up that *could*, once again, bring winter weather into the CWA. Cold air will be well into the Gulf, establishing a baroclinic zone along the coast, and there are signs of a shortwave that may be able to tap into that for surface low formation and have a decent connection to the subtropics to pull in some moisture. However, so far, of the 2-3 potential winter setups like this we`ve seen the models spit out this winter season, 1 has panned out. Getting all the ingredients in line at the right time in the right way is always tough here. To emphasize this, looking at ensemble model probabilities across the 12Z guidance for getting >1" of snow, the GEFS shows around 5%, the European ensemble around 10-15%, and the Canadian about 5% only in northern GA. Could it happen? Absolutely. These probabilities are certainly much higher than the typically probability of snow on a given day in the winter in Georgia ( Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

Thank you!

We drove up to our property yesterday. Someone did a really good job keeping Window Rock Rd. passable. I'm guessing some local individuals helped as well because we saw a smaller, compact tractor with a plow on the front. It had slid off the road on a hill near an embankment. When we left to return to Ooltewah, a flatbed was there about to pull it out. Snow depth was wonderful on the brow property. Depth was roughly 4" where the trees were thickest. Away from the trees in the more open areas, it was compacted down like you said to 6" or so. I forgot my ruler. It was a beautiful winter wonderland! Getting off topic a but, but do you have any local recommendations for a good builder? Here are a few pics we took. Beautiful scenery everywhere. The picture with my wife and the valley below is where we would like to do something. Several deer tracks in the snow all over. It was beautiful. Took a few pics of someone's frozen pond, nice big field near the bluff of someone elses property. The SxS and 4 wheelers were out in full force having a blast! Temp on the Jeep from Ooltewah all the way to Soddy was a solid 34°. It never wavered. Top of the mountain it was 25°. Sorry for the pic overload, I just wanted to share.

What was your final total for the storm? I'm sure it was pretty good before it compacted down. If the roads are ok, we are driving up to our property tomorrow and take some snow pics.

Ok folks, it's time to start looking around the 19th or 20th for some cold and snow. You're all allowed 2 days off after everyone wraps up their current snow, and then we move on to the next storm! Southern snows are super hard to predict. With all the knowledgeable people on here, from pros to high thinking amateurs, I'll grade everyone out to a solid "A". Local tv Mets are usually conservative, as they should be. I will grade our Chattanooga tv Mets out at a solid A-. nrgJeff gets a solid "A," leaning towards an A+. Great discussions from everyone! Carver, Holston, John, Tellico, and the rest, great job! Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk
