I don't want to get my hopes up too high but the Wednesday storm chance has increased significantly for Chattanooga. If we can pull in a big one (or just pull one in at all) I will be a happy camper. The NAM looks great for our area but  in the back of my mind  I see either suppression city or some crazy move way north. I hope I'm wrong, I'm just being cautiously optimistic.

Not had time to model watch today. The conditions here are amazing. I don't recall seeing them like this in my life. We've basically got 6-8 inches of solid ice from where the rain saturated everything and it froze this morning. Our temp fell through the 20s today and it's 20 now. I walked across what looks like half a foot of snow without sinking into it.

Guys, here are the SREF means for snow. This also include totals from this current event; however, the current event seems to be underdone. For instance it has TRI at 2.5 for this event while I am pushing 5" here. The mean seems to be right in the middle of all the members which is good thing. No outliers really pushing up the numbers. Half the members seem to be higher than what the means are suggesting. Anyway, here they are:

 

TRI: 8.20"

TYS: 7.75"

BNA: 3.72"

CSV: 6.43"

CHA: 7.25"

Here's the discussion Robert has to go with his map that Stove posted.

Georgia and parts of Alabama, Tennessee and Virginia. The core of the big snowstorm tomorrow night is this zone.
There will be a lot of problems on this event.
1) Its a WET Snow.
2) Its a FAST falling snow
3) There could be Thunder Snow some areas of Carolinas in particular...

Tree branches can take up to 6" of heavy wet snow, but its the RATE of fall that allows too much clumping that it can fall off in time, so the tree branches snap or trees topple . I found out in a similar upper low where 10" fell in 6 hours.
I'm not sure of exact snow amounts anywhere, but A general 3 to 6" and 4 - to 8" storm is likely this zone, with some localized FOOT amounts of snow in NC , SC or VA. And it all happens in a very fast time frame.
For specific cities, I'll have a breakdown of zones. But for Atlanta and Birmingham, it may start as rain or mix, then both should go to snow with heavy rates, but any further north movement will bisect these cities. The interior Carolinas are cold enough for mostly snow rain at coast, maybe ending as snow. Winds WONT be a problem with this storm, or ICE, but there could be sleet mixed in a narrow zone in middle Alabama to the Midlands SC .
Check WxSouth.com For a breakdown of more maps . Since this is a HIGH IMPACT event I'll try to keep all my weather Fans and Subscribers alerted on this potentially Serious Event.
