1234snow Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Severe warnings going up for the line of convection over the Gulf Coast. I hope this doesn't rob us of any moisture later on. Yeah Mr. Bob, Stovepipe is going to have to do some digging first before he does the actual digging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I posted back in late November or early December that cold November's often lead to memorable winters in the area. It took a while for this one to get started, but it's definitely going to be memorable. I have no had 5 winter events that have fallen on top of snow/ice already in place. It snowed here 2 weeks ago Saturday, the major storm Monday, the clipper Wednesday, the major snow/ice Friday, 1 inch earlier this week, and the snow now. That's very very rare for here. In addition to the two largest sleet storms I've seen in my life. It's also been now 15 or so inches of snow in 10 or so days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Jax, let me be the first to publicly thank you for your text output and maps - even though you didn't get snow and sometimes weren't even forecast to.

John1122 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hope spring eternal, and the models are cooking up another big winter storm in about 6-7 days for the Valley. As of now the Western half of the Valley looks like the sweet spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stovepipe Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Some how, some way, my wife and I managed to score two 3 day passes to the final Grateful Dead show in Chicago this summer! We're freaking out over here. Tried mail order, that was a 1 in 10 chance, and failed. Today set a new Ticketmaster record, half a million people tried to get tickets, 1 in 15 shot. We hammered the site with phones, tablets, computers and came out with a pair of passes. We are incredibly thankful, gonna be an epic event! :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I still have about 3 inches of snow on the ground. I have had snow on the ground for 17 straight days. For here that's impressive for any time of year. Let alone late February into early March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Still have about 1.5 inches of snow on the ground. If it can hang on 20 minutes and the snow comes Thursday, my streak of days of snow on the ground will make it well over 20 days, in late February and March. Not a very common thing here and one that will certainly make this winter memorable. The heavy sleet will also make this one stand out, as well as double digit sub-zero temps.

Greyhound Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I don't want to clog up the main thread.....but this guy drives me up a dang wall!!!! Pretty much all schools in the Knoxville area are playing it safe and delaying school start times by two hours. I don't understand why this "leader" (?) can't play it safe and make that call now for Knox County Schools??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 They did cancel it early though...it came across my twitter feed around 5:30a....This is the last free day...so I understand wanting to hold on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 They did cancel it early though...it came across my twitter feed around 5:30a....This is the last free day...so I understand wanting to hold on to it. My main concern was wny not just delay for a few hours like all other school systems around Knox Co and wait and see what was going to happen. If it fizzled out, then they still go to school and save their one remaining day. And even if they did cancel, the state was/is going to forgive or allow three more days because it's been so atypical this year. And making the call for a delay gives parents some time to scramble for child care, etc. I've never been a big fan of the superintendent, but I also understand he has a tough call in situations like this, and he's not gonna make everyone happy. Just puzzled as to his decision making process this time. (stepping off soap-box now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach B Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I like it the way it is. I'm one of those nuts who tries to balance a regular full time job, kids and all the activities that go with them, church attendance, and the kicker - FARM WORK. Its no fun bottle feeding a calf in the dark twice a day. DST absolutely saves me in the spring and fall when the chores still need doing after little league practice or whatever the activity of the day is. In the winter things slow down a bit with the kids and farm work so its nice to be forced inside by the woodstove and slow down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
