tnweathernut Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Just took my last measurement for the night. 7.25" here. It is still snowing lightly, but I can't see us getting more than another half inch at best. I'm off to bed. Been a long, but fun, day. Congrats dwags. Awesome!

Jed33 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Closing in on 3in here at the house and pouring down snow. I actually fell asleep in the chair and woke up disoriented haha. I was like oh yeah the snow-gotta go measure. It's definitely the hardest of the night thus far here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkhorn Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm waiting to measure but I can eyeball it and it's probably 4-5". A couple of things to note about this storm: The northern precip shield was underdone on the models - as was mentioned in this forum It was mentioned that this looked stronger than last years Feb 14 storm, and the snow totals will end up equal to that if not slightly higher SREF plumes have been a little lower than what actually happened The GFS (for the umpteenth time) suppressed the storm and slowly bent it back our direction Once again the totals had to be bumped up at the last minute for this storm I'll do an 'official' measurement or three in the morning once this tapers off as I'm too warm to do it now. Unless they upgrade the GFS and the other models, let's try to remember these little facts about these types of lows for next winter. Also, after this storm CHA, TYS, and TRI will likely all be well above average for seasonal snowfall. Not bad for only two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 As of 12:30 midnight I'm at 4.5 inches of new snow, and about 6 inches of total snow. Radar good for another inch? Maybe, helluva run, still a nice moderate snow currently here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Any Middle Tennessee Obs? That looks like pretty heavy stuff west of the Plateau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 My big question....will UT close tomorrow? If not I've got to make a run back over there at 7 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmetalhead Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Last measurement for the night has me right at 6 inches for tonights event, and at about 9.5 (depending on measuring location) total snowfall on the ground. There is still some light to even moderate snow falling, but judging by the radar, I doubt I will get any higher than 6.25 inches for tonight.. Which is still right in line with the original 4-7 inches that was forecast for my area. It's been a fun time guys. Thanks for all of the good information and entertainment!

Stovepipe Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 My big question....will UT close tomorrow? If not I've got to make a run back over there at 7 am. As an employee my guess is yes, they'll close but you won't know until like 6am tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we only average about 3 to 4" annually. I LIKE IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bango Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It's been really small flakes here just north of gate city, I think we will be on the lower end of the totals but still in that 3-4 inch range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 3.5 inches with moderate snow still coming down. Around 10 inches of snow/ice on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm with you on the small flakes. I kept hearing how this would be a heavy wet snow, but it really is not here at the house. I'm at about 3.5in now, but it pretty much is powdery like the other night. Just haven't had any big flakes to speak of with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I've got a little more than 3 inches of new snow. Still plenty of bands to go though. I think I'll end up with around 4-6 inches here if the rates continue as they have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkhorn Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Just did a measurement. 4.5" of new snow at my house. We'll see if we pick up another inch or two tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChattChaser Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Officially 8" at my house on the south side of downtown Chattanooga. That was taken on the railing of the back deck with the standard household ruler. The cement-like consistency is just unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bango Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Very fine flakes but it's piling up just the same...really wet flakes too, for a second or two I thought it was rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 5 inches of new snow at my location in Sullivan Co. Still snowing, though on the light side. Bands are fading on radar. We might squeeze out another 1/2 inch before sunrise. This event has had virtually no wind, so everything is covered and quite scenic. Dawn should bring some nice pictures.

zippity Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Official total for Huntsville is 8.0 inches. Local Mets predicted 2-4 (channel 19), 3-5 (channel 48). Predictions were bumped up as they saw we were getting dumped on. Robert (WxSouth) was spot on for our area as he predicted up to eight inches well before the system arrived, although he states he busted the forecast further east. Very glad to see Tennessee get snow; looks like Chattanooga did as well as we did! The temps were just a few degrees below freezing with little wind, so kids and adults were out playing in the snow until late in the evening.

Jed33 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Ended up with just about 5in here at the house. A nice way to finish up an unbelievable 2weeks of winter. This snow overnight puts me at 16in for The season here at the house. Almost all of which has fallen in the last 2weeks. We had a little over half an inch on Jan 24, and a third of an inch in November, as well as another quarter inch in Jan. And some dustings here and there, but nothing like this 2 weeks! It's been an amazing way to cap off and otherwise dull, but cold winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Pretty amazing here in downtown Chatt...Last year's event there were some 8-9" reports in the burbs but downtown was at best 2-3". It is a solid eight from this event. The lack of wind allowed it to pile up on tree limbs and railings and it looks like something out of a photographers journal with the sun coming up. I cannot upload here at work but I might try and post some later. Congrats to all who scored on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fase Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Snowy sunrise in Chattanooga this morning. Ended up right at 8" where I am. As Dr Bob mentioned, it is a photographer's dream in Chattanooga today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temps were just a few degrees below freezing with little wind, so kids and adults were out playing in the snow until late in the evening. I'm so happy y'all got hit this time and especially with the storm last Monday that missed. The folks in Alabama were nice when I went to Talladega last year. Y'all don't get mentioned nearly as much as the rest of us. I got 3.5 new inches of cotton candy coverings. That brings the 11 day total to 20.25. Add .25 on thanksgiving and .50 a week or so before this run. Season total = 21 inches. Just an amazing run that rivals the best years here. This is the biggest total for me since the epic winter of 09-10. She was a late bloomer I'll say that. Now we need to get Jax a good storm.

Carvers Gap Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Ended up w/ about 3.5 - 4" of new snow after a very slow start to the storm. The driveway piles(where the snow has been shoveled) will take a couple of weeks to melt. What a great couple of weeks of winter weather. January 2014 will be remembered for extended cold and snow. And February 2015 will be remembered as a great winter month for the Valley, maybe the best 10-11 days of winter seen in a long, long time. This morning, as I shoveled the sidewalk, and owl hooted somewhere in the distance. Birds were chirping. Seemed like a spring day...w/ snowpack. I am hopeful someday not too far away as I write a winter storm obs, I will have to ask myself this fantastic question again, "Is snowpack one word or two."

dwagner88 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Looks like KCHA got 6.3 inches of snow out of 0.51 qpf for an amazing ratio of 12.35:1. I can tell that this snow isn't nearly as heavy as last Feb's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Nasty Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Finished with 7.5" at my house. I live at the foot of Missionary Ridge about 1 mile from Georgia border. Airport was officially 6.3". Reports of anywhere between 7" up to 11" across town. Waiting for a report from son in law on Signal Mountain. Should be interesting.Winner winner, snow cream dinner!
