tnweathernut Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I lived in Sumner County for almost 20 years and I NEVER heard of upslope snow there. They are spot on with the topography for a county that gains elevation from south to north. Pretty crazy, thanks for posting the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're referring to the heavy burst of snow that Easley SC received just after New Years. A very strong NW wind with extreme cold was pushing the snow into the west facing slopes of NC, but somehow a sliver pushed thru the valley into Upstate SC and dumped right on Easley. I swear the snow began and ended in the city limits, I know since I was driving back to Clemson for Spring Semester. Crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember vaguely. It was during an arctic outbreak. I think it was Easley , SC that got the brunt of that 4 inches , and here , a few miles away, just a flurry or two . I think I remember the local weather guy saying it was lake effect from lake Hartwell , lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Upslope snow in East Tennessee, especially along the Plateau, doesn't show up that well on the radar either, sometimes it doesn't show up at all over a large part of the Plateau, Upslope tends to fall from lower in the atmosphere than other snow and when you get further from radar sites the radar tends not read the lower parts of the atmosphere as well.

superjames1992 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 That is cool! Does anyone know what type of accumulations were seen? That looks like a pretty decent coating (0.5"+) in the picture above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
