Stovepipe Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Anybody getting any cryosiesmic booms this morning? http://wkrn.com/2015/02/19/middle-tennessee-residents-report-strange-booming-sounds/ Woke up to some loud pops here, was afraid it might have been pipes bursting. No evidence of that but now wondering if it could have been these frost quakes. If not it was probably just this wooden house creaking from the cold.

I had no idea what was going on. Up to 6 degrees after hitting -6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Been encountering a lot of pop up snow showers around today. They may be fine flakes, but they sure are cool. Almost like ice crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ridge Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm not sure snow has stopped falling today. As Jed mentioned, they are very, very fine flakes. I'm enjoying it while I can; it's not often snow falls with temperatures in the single digits in Tennessee. Prior to the second distinctive wave moving through yesterday, a little over 2" had fallen. When the second wave moved through, the wind began drifting the snow and measurements became hard. Given the intensity and duration, I'm guessing at least an inch more fell. I walked around the neighborhood last night and measured drifts as high as two feet in some spots. Edited to add: dipped just below zero this morning. We held on to cloud cover and a stiff breeze much of the night. Only made it to 9.9 today. I think MRX forecasted a low of -1 and high of 9, so hats off to them for nailing it.

Stovepipe Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Holding steady at 13 degrees here, high was supposed to be 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Already down from 9 to 6 with the sun going away. My point forecast low is -1 tonight. 12 miles away in the JKL CWA, it's -11. My low last night per MRX was 1 and we ended up -6. So I'm going to think closer to JKL, though the temp may peak downward around 2-4 in the morning and start warming slightly.

John1122 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sitting at 4.6 already. Wise is at 3 already. Forecast low for Wise is -3. I can't imagine they don't blow that out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 You set yourself up for a Nicholson gif, sorry. No worries, it was funny and creepy at the same time. And that's one of the many brilliant movies by the late/great, Stanley Kubrick. You should check out the insane conspiracy documentary about that movie called Room 237.

Silas Lang Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 There has been so much diamond dust falling this evening/tonight. Can't really see anything but sparkles falling and there is a glittery dusting on the old snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The high is settling right across Kentucky/Tennessee through 7 or 8 am. Temps will really head down all the way until that point. I'm at -7, just up the road Middlesboro is at -9, Somerset and London Ky are at -9 and -11 respectively. Mount Sterling, which is about 75 miles north of here up 75 is at -17. JKL also mentioned that there's a strong likelyhood of having above freezing air temps and still having freezing rain happening on roads, sidewalks and such. The ground temp is that cold. They said it happened to them last week with temps that hadn't been nearly this cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Made it to -11 so far. Not sure if it'll get any lower in the next 2 hours or so or not. Coldest reading since 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Dang son, that is impressive! I'm at 7 here. SE Ky is channeling 1985. Lots of -15 to -20 just a few miles away. Maybe the most impressive aspect, they have a -18 and a -17 reported with cloudy skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
