Windspeed Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I never got above 27º at the surface at my location. Finished with 5 inches just south of Bristol. Pretty decent considering the early sleet. Areas just north of Bristol got 6+. And places towards Wise, Dickenson and Russell Counties got hammered with 10+. That last HRRR right up before the event appeared to be right on the money with the warm nose around 700-800mb all the way to KTRI. Carver, I have a friend that lives near Lynn Garden Drive that measured 6.25 on final total. Kingsport has several microclimates within a microclimate. lol....

John1122 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 How are the main roads in Knox? I need to get to the James White Parkway today. My road is atrocious but I'm used to it in all weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Meant to post that in banter. This was the most impressive sleet event I've ever been a part of. I had never seen more than 1/2 inch or so of it before, it's usually a transitional precip here rather than a duration event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach B Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Power just came back on here at 12:30 central. Went out at 5:30 last night. Got about .4 to .5 of ice. There was some sleet for a time yesterday morning, but it was mostly FZRN. Woodstove kept us warm and the storm left us plenty of firewood for the next couple of years.

Same here we really only got sleet at the start within the first hour or two, but even then it was mixed with freezing rain, then the duration from there was just plain straight up freezing rain. So many trees down, down this way Southern Roane County, Northern Meigs County. I counted at least 20 down that the highway department cut on my road just within a 4 mile drive.

Math/Met Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Regarding the downslope winds/temperature issues yesterday near the mountains, I think this tells the story. Here is the Camp Creek data from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the Camp Creek data from yesterday. Thanks for that Math/Met! I was watching the temp at the Camp Creek station skyrocket up as my temperature also climbed. I'm about 10 miles north of Camp Creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Regarding the downslope winds/temperature issues yesterday near the mountains, I think this tells the story. Here is the Camp Creek data from yesterday. Wow! Thanks for posting that data. 60mph gust coinciding with 38.3? That's pretty damning evidence for downslopping. The warm nose was creeping in at 700-800 mb and would have been spilling over the Balds and Unakas. I suspect the airmass was compressing down the slope into the valley from the crest of the Viking/Buffalo Ridge, giving way to those pretty hefty wind gusts in Camp Creek and moderating the temperatures in Greene and Washington Counties. Thanks for posting this. Fascinating stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnEastTN Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 A misty snow coming from the sky here in oak ridge. Just got one of those myself about an hour or so ago.

Stovepipe Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Sledding really was a blast today. We had to have people at the bottom to snag the kids otherwise they would have kept going Mach 5 into a fence. Got some ice cuts on our hands and one kid got a bloody lip but all in all it was a friggin awesome time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The sledding was intense wasn't it. Crazy how fast you can go on ice like this. Got some ice cuts myself but so worth it! Can definite relate to grabbing the kids before they hit the fence. I had to block a piece of rebar stuck in the ground so the kids didn't run over it at Mach 5 myself.

Winter201415 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just when you thought Boston gets shafted, there's literally a small size the size of 50 square miles that's just snowing the last few hours and I don't think it's from our storm, it could be some type of ocean effect snow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Poor Reb, pretty sure his power is still off. A couple hours ago he hauled the contents of his fridge/freezer to his car. Shortly after power came on. He hauls it all back in, power goes back out lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
