Now we're getting hit hard by current band with a developing band over Tennessee full of juice. Almost safe to say this NWFS is overperforming for the city!

Snow has eased up but the wind is howling.

[Met1985]

Light snow in town but the mountains are getting hammered.

[Met1985]

We had a lull, but we already went past my forecast of 1/2 inch (this is my week to do campus forecasts). Now it's starting to pick up again and upstream looks epic!

Been watching the waves of snow squalls come off the Plotts Balsams here:

The Westerly flow, very steep lapse rates and intense vertical motion has carried the snowshowers right over the TN line without much attenuation for a change. The heaviest squall is arriving right now per radar.
