Watching this Tennessee collapse is like watching the models show a blizzard every run for a week, only to turn it into a cutter 24 hours out. -
Had a chestnut logger (where snow would lay on chestnut logs and such but not the ground) as my grandpa called them, over a sheen of ice on raised objects. The freezing drizzle was almost light freezing rain around 12 to 1, then it snowed a little over it.
-
I got a grill duster. Just enough flakes to cover the top of it over the little layer of ice from the freezing drizzle.
-
The moisture isn't reaching high enough into the dz for snow here so I'm getting freezing drizzle with an occasional nickel sized flake. It's 30.6 degrees and there's a light glaze on everything.
-
Strong winds, snow and 34 degrees here. It briefly got up to 39 here but the temp has been falling quickly.
-
MRX has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the mountains of East Tennessee and SWVA. I expected a WWA.
-
The NAM and other models are increasing the snow potential for the Friday afternoon and night time frame too. The thunder earlier is working it seems.

Carvers shades of '96 showed up on the GFS tonight. Last year it did well sniffing out systems at long range. This year it's having some false starts.

This cold front is stiff. I went into Walmart and it was warm. Came out 45 minutes later and it's windy and 43 degrees.

We are currently -4 for the month. Two mornings in the lower 10s helped that along a great deal. Oneida is -4, Norris is -4.2, Monteagle is -4.4, Oak Ridge is -4.2. Odd that points East of 75 are only -1.5 to -2.5 while points west of 75 are that much cooler.

I was just thinking the other day, this is how winter was back in the 70s and 80s. It started snowing in November and has snowed several times since then. Including one day time event. I'll have to look back and see the last time we had three snows that accumulated in late November into the first ten days of December.

The Euro tossed out a snowball for Christmas. Probably a headfake, as every model seems to be throwing them out there in that time frame.
-
That 12z gfs reminds me of the Christmas 2014 snow then upslope event.

The Canadian (which was excellent for this morning's event) had a similar path to the Euro AI model that had an East Coast storm. Pretty classic path for much more of East Tennessee to see snow than was depicted by the model. Crashing cold and a low that tracks over interior SC and NC a good 90 miles or so from the coast. GFS is progressive and just sweeps everything out. Something it's been doing a lot of early as winter is starting, before playing catch up late.

The 12z AI Euro was a major winter storm from Nashville west as a storm ran the Apps.
