tnweathernut Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It was quite the flizzard especially from about Pellissippi Pky out to Lenoir City as I drove through there around 6am...I could not believe Knox waited so long to call a delay... graupel here in Erwin, mixed with a little snow. Nothing more than a "skiff" below 2500. I am guessing they probably forgot what snow looked like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Child's first snow is probably more thrilling for us parents, but also fun for the kids. Great pic. Congrats! nice dusting here with big flakes earlier as well. thanks nut and stove Chattanooga had drizzle this morning, thankfully above freezing. Glad folks to my north and east enjoyed a dusting.

Chattanooga had drizzle this morning, thankfully above freezing. Glad folks to my north and east enjoyed a dusting. Cheers! I agree with nrgjeff, Reb! Great pic and enjoy these years! My daughter is off at college. Her first big snow was in January of 1996...I don't think she's seen another one even close since! LOL The Kingsport area scored a big goose egg this morning. However some of the higher elevations must have at least had something frozen laying on the roads since my son was out of school today (Hawkins County). Glad that some folks scored!!! I know it wasn't much but this year we take what we can get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnweathernut Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Working in a good sleet shower in eastern Kingsport at the moment! Awesome. I wondered if someone might get lucky from that line, temps didn't recover as quickly as they thought. I hope that bodes well for the late weekend event.

Jed33 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Had some sleet here in Morristown awhile ago too. Not much, but every little bit of frozen is important in this winter. Of course it quickly switched to rain after about 5 min but was still cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ridge Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Wife reports frozen precip is falling on I-26 between Unicoi and Okolona Rd. DBZ has exploded on radar as the line enters the area, probably due to sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what I'm seeing from MRX: HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN 318 PM EST THU JAN 29 2015 NCZ060-061-TNZ012>018-035>047-067>074-081>087-098>102-VAZ001-002- 005-006-008-302030- CHEROKEE-CLAY-SCOTT TN-CAMPBELL-CLAIBORNE-HANCOCK-HAWKINS- SULLIVAN-JOHNSON-MORGAN-ANDERSON-UNION-GRAINGER-HAMBLEN- NORTHWEST COCKE-COCKE SMOKY MOUNTAINS-NORTHWEST GREENE- SOUTHEAST GREENE-WASHINGTON TN-UNICOI-NORTHWEST CARTER- SOUTHEAST CARTER-ROANE-LOUDON-KNOX-JEFFERSON-NW BLOUNT- BLOUNT SMOKY MOUNTAINS-NORTH SEVIER-SEVIER SMOKY MOUNTAINS- SEQUATCHIE-BLEDSOE-RHEA-MEIGS-MCMINN-NORTHWEST MONROE- SOUTHEAST MONROE-MARION-HAMILTON-BRADLEY-WEST POLK-EAST POLK-LEE- WISE-SCOTT-RUSSELL-WASHINGTON- 318 PM EST THU JAN 29 2015 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA...EAST TENNESSEE AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT... COLDER AIR WILL PUSH IN BEHIND A COLD FRONT TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...WITH RAIN SHOWERS CHANGING TO SNOW SHOWERS ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN EAST TENNESSEE AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO AN INCH OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE EAST TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS STARTING TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT THROUGH NOON EST ON FRIDAY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... ANOTHER ROUND OF WINTRY WEATHER IS POSSIBLE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AFFECTS THE AREA. FORECAST UNCERTAINTY IS STILL RATHER HIGH AT THIS TIME...HOWEVER...IT APPEARS SOME SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE BEST CHANCES FOR SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS AND ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE EAST TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. I don't see where that WWA involves anything other than the Southern Appalachians. While I'm no met, maps are my life and I don't consider Knoxville the "Southern Appalachians." So the article should have stated NWS has issued a WWA for somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Has anyone else noticed MRX observations for Morristown, Gattlinburg, and sometimes, as in this case, Elizabethton, are not what they should be. This snapshot was taken at 6AM Eastern. It's dark as it could be, yet they are reporting sunny conditions for these three locations. I actually don't think I've ever seen the Morristown location report the right sky condition at night. Any idea what could be causing this?

Stovepipe Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Getting some very light wind blown snow in downtown Knoxville right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Well, I am still in Nooga, so of course I get a report from back home that schools are dismissed and the current conditions are "blizzard-like". Cloudy with nothing falling here in Hixon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Just drove through a heavy granular snow shower here in Morristown. It was fun while it lasted. Coated some roof tops and a little on the grass, but barely enough to even call a light dusting. Still fun to see, and we still have flurries and snow grains falling, so that's at least nice to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvskelton Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Had a flizzard blow through Kingsport about 30 minutes ago. Nothing accumulated on the ground but it was enough to obscure Bays Mountain for a while. Nice while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvskelton Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Just announced Hawkins County schools with an early dismissal (1pm). Radar showing a nice band moving toward us. Could get interesting.

nrgjeff Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Chattanooga Downtown got flurries between 9:30 and 9:45 am Eastern Time. Airport continues to report flakes flying, but I believe it is over down here. Tri Cities and Upper Plateau friends, enjoy the rest of your day!

1234snow Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Getting some more off that white teasing stuff falling from the sky. This makes about 8 times this year with light snow and nothing to show for it on the ground. Area schools are letting out for some reason. I don't think it will get hard enough to warrant that. Heck they should of just went ahead and made it a Super Bowl Holiday! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Finally home. Very tiny flakes that you had to squint to see in Hixon. Not much else until West Knox, where there was a bit of a snow shower around Cedar Bluff, then another around Emory Road. A bit heavier snow shower around Clinton. Then about 132 mile marker when you begin the ascent up the Plateau, the ground was white. Still a few snow showers around, 25 degrees and a heavy dusting.

John1122 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It may warm right before the precip makes it here, if any does, but it's currently 30 degrees, so maybe I won't waste any of the sparse moisture on rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Snow is now steady enough to have coated the ground with a temp of 27 degrees. It's apparently falling from the lower atmosphere and not showing up on radar at all. JKL has even issued a winter weather advisory for a lot of their area and I see that Tyson is reporting rain/snow mix and 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
