0z Euro control is virtually identical to the op, ensemble mean is less beefy but more widespread.  The individuals are screaming, especially Nashville, Jackson, and Memphis.

Trying not to get too amped up about the storm but you have any examples? Are there any "big dogs" in the bunch? Could this be the first double digit snow Nashville has had in more than twenty years?

Nashville, out of 51 members:

 

- All but 2 have snow

- 39 are more than 2 inches

- 16 are more than 6 inches

- 7 are more than 10 inches

Right now I feel like this is an I-40 special. Nothing making me feel too great about chances down here. Could be some nuisance snow/ice for sure. The schools only have 1 snow day left here before they start makeup days. It's just as well that this may miss us.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN

257 PM CST SUN MAR 1 2015

.DISCUSSION...

LIGHT RAINS CONTINUE TO SWEEP ACROSS THE MID-STATE THIS AFTERNOON AS

A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. CURRENTLY DRAPED

FROM CINCINNATI TO MEMPHIS...THIS COLD FRONT WILL BREAK INTO MIDDLE

TENNESSEE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AND HELP TEMPERATURES START

TO FALL OFF...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHWESTERN HALF OF THE AREA.

ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVES WILL TRAVERSE THE FRONT THIS EVENING...AND AS

THE RAIN TRIES TO COME TO AND END ACROSS THE NORTH AFTER

MIDNIGHT...SUB-FREEZING SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND A DEEP ELEVATED WARM

LAYER WILL OPEN UP SEVERAL AREAS IN THE MID-STATE FOR SOME

FREEZING DRIZZLE. QPFS REMAIN VERY LIGHT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS

SYSTEM...AND WITH THIS AFTERNOON`S TEMPERATURES REACHING THE LOW

TO MIDDLE 40S...I DON`T SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF IMPACTS. IF WE DO

SEE ANY ICE ACCRETION IT MIGHT BE A HUNDREDTH OR TWO ON ELEVATED

SURFACES AND TREE LIMBS. ROAD SURFACES SHOULD REMAIN UNIMPACTED.

FOR THIS REASON...PLUS A LOWER CONFIDENCE ON THERE BEING ENOUGH

QPF FOR ICE ACCRETION...WILL NOT ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY

ATTM. IF TRENDS LEAN THAT WAY THIS EVENING...WE MAY NEED TO ISSUE

ONE PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IF QPFS GET ANY HIGHER THAN THE

CURRENT HUNDREDTH OR TWO.

A GENERALLY WET PATTERN FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS CONTINUES MONDAY

WITH MORE LIGHT RAIN AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS BACK TO THE NORTH. THE

WARM FRONT IS PART OF A LATE-WINTER SYSTEM THAT MAY VERY WELL BRING

US SOME ISOLATED THUNDER TUESDAY AS THE LOW PASSES WELL OFF TO THE

NW OF US. IT WILL BE BREEZY TUESDAY AS WELL...ESPECIALLY IN THE

EVENING AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AHEAD OF FRONTAL PASSAGE.

MODELS ARE NOT IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE TIMING OF THE FRONT MOVING

THROUGH THE MID-STATE ATTM. NAM IS SLOWEST...GFS IS THE FASTEST AND

THE EURO SITS SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE. OVERALL...I HAVE GONE WITH

SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THE EURO TIMING REGARDING FRONTAL PASSAGE.

POST-FRONTAL PASSAGE COULD VERY WELL BE THE STORY OF THIS SYSTEM

THOUGH. MODELS ARE...AND HAVE BEEN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A LARGE

AMOUNT OF LIFT BEHIND THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE AN

EXTREMELY STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET. WITH MIDDLE TN RESIDING IN THE

RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THIS 140-170 KT JET...MODELS CONTINUE TO

SPIT OUT AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF QPF IN A ENVIRONMENT SOLIDLY

SUPPORTIVE OF SNOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF WEDNESDAY`S FRONT. IF WE

WENT WITH A 10 TO 1 RATIO...AND EVEN ACCOUNTED FOR LATENT HEAT

RELEASE FROM TUESDAY NIGHT`S LIQUID RAINFALL...WE WOULD BE IN LINE

FOR 4 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE MID-STATE.

THE GOOD NEWS IS...THIS SET UP IS TYPICALLY NOT CONDUCIVE TO THAT

KIND OF SNOW ACCUMULATION. WE USUALLY ONLY GET THOSE KIND OF SNOW

TOTALS WITH A SURFACE LOW PASSING US TO THE SOUTH...MUCH LIKE LAST

WEEK. THAT SAID...DUE TO MODEL CONSISTENCY...I HAVE TO START

TALKING ABOUT MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY

NIGHT BUT I`M NOT GOING TO ATTACH ANY MORE THAN 1-2 INCHES TO THE

FORECAST ATTM. PLENTY MORE TO COME REGARDING THIS SYSTEM.

EXPECTATION IS FOR THE MODELS TO FINALLY REALIZE THEY`RE OVERDOING

THE QPF AND BACK OFF OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL RUNS.

A DECENTLY STRONG SURFACE RIDGE PUSHES IN HERE THURSDAY BEHIND THE

FRONT. THIS IS GOING TO DROP TEMPERATURES OFF FAIRLY STEEPLY

THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS SHOULD BRING

PLENTY OF SUNSHINE...SOMETHING WE DIDN`T REALLY SEE LAST WEEK...SO

EVEN IF WE SEE SNOW WEDNESDAY...WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET RID OF IT

PRETTY QUICKLY AS TEMPERATURES REBOUND INTO THE 40S AND 50S FRIDAY

AND SATURDAY.

LOOKING AHEAD TO MID WEEK...LATEST GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE 18Z

NAM...18Z GFS...12Z ECMWF...21Z SREF AND WPC CONTINUES TO DEPICT A

MAJOR AND POTENTIALLY HIGH IMPACT WINTER STORM TO AFFECT THE MID

STATE WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MODELS SHOWS AN UNUSUALLY

STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT FOR EARLY MARCH MOVING THROUGH MIDDLE

TENNESSEE DURING THE DAY...WITH SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF

PRECIPITATION OVERRUNNING AREAS ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONTAL

BOUNDARY. ALTHOUGH THIS STILL REMAINS SEVERAL DAYS OUT AND COULD

EASILY CHANGE...AS OF NOW FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE MUCH OF THE

CWA COULD GO THROUGH ALL PHASES OF PRECIPITATION FROM RAIN TO

FREEZING RAIN TO SLEET TO SNOW AS THE INITIALLY SHALLOW COLD AIR

BEHIND THE FRONT GRADUALLY DEEPENS. MODELS REMAIN QUITE DIFFERENT

ON TIMING WITH FRONT...WITH GFS FASTEST AND NAM SLOWEST...AND THIS

ALONG WITH A WARM NOSE ALOFT AT 700MB WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH AND

WHAT TYPE OF PRECIP ENDS UP PREVAILING AT ANY ONE LOCATION.

ATTM...SEVERAL INCHES OF SLEET AND/OR SNOW CERTAINLY APPEAR

POSSIBLE. STAY TUNED!

FOR TUESDAY NIGHT...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE MID

MS VALLEY INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION AS A TRAILING COLD FRONT

SWEEPS INTO MID TN. THE FRONT WILL ACCOMPANIED BY SHOWERS AND A

FEW THUNDERSTORMS. 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN MAY FALL FROM TUESDAY

THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

OUR MAIN CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT WINTRY WX AS

MUCH COLDER AIR SLAMS INTO MID TN WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE WELL

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WITH FAVORABLE JET DYNAMICS ENHANCING LIFT

ACROSS THE COLD SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY. RAIN WILL CHANGE TO FREEZING

RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW ON WEDNESDAY...WITH SNOW PREVAILING BY WEDNESDAY

EVENING. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS (WITH SOME SLEET) COULD ADD UP TO

SEVERAL INCHES ACROSS THE MID STATE. AT THIS TIME WE THINK INTO

WARNING CRITERIA (MORE THAN 3)...BUT WE WANT TO BE A LITTLE CLOSER

TO THE EVENT BEFORE ISSUING A WATCH...MAYBE LATER TODAY IF MODEL

SUPPORT CONTINUES. THERE WILL BE SOME ICE POTENTIAL...BUT THIS

EVENT LOOKS LIKE MORE SNOW THAN ICE FOR MID TN. MANY QUESTIONS

REMAIN ABOUT HOW MUCH ACCUMULATION THERE WILL BE...BUT WE ARE

HIGHLY CONFIDENT THAT EVEN IF ACCUMULATIONS UNDER PERFORM...THIS

EVENT WILL HAVE MAJOR IMPACTS AS POST FRONTAL TEMPERATURES

PLUMMET...AND ROADS BECOME SNOW/ICE COVERED AND SLICK. IMPACTS

WILL LAST FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY MORNING.

VERY COLD AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

MODEL DIFFERENCES CREEP INTO THE FAR EXTENDED...SO BLENDING WITH

MODERATING TEMPERATURES AND LOW PRECIP CHANCES DEVELOPING NEXT

WEEKEND.

Like the anafront video previous page. The main point is that cold fronts are steeper than warm fronts. Anafront is hybrid in steepness, but it explains models favoring sleet over freezing rain.

 

North Mississippi I'm afraid will have shallower cold air and therefore a chance of more ZR ice accumulation. I-40 to I-81 corridor looks like snow and sleet, but I couldn't tell you which will be majority if I had to. Just keep the ZR off the power lines, lol!

 

I strongly agree with Dwagner about Chattanooga and southeast Tenn. We may be coming off 60 degree highs Wednesday. Good luck getting cold air over the Plateau in time. Yeah it is a deeper layer, but I can still see most precip ending before it settles in this part of the Valley.

 

North Alabama will depend on how much precip post front. If you believe the Euro plenty of winter precip lags the front. Jumping north, Middle and East Kentucky could get a snow dump. Go Big Blue? Cheers!

So what is your best guess based on what you have seen as far as the amount of snow we are talking - I think the record for Nashville is 17" are we approaching that at all?

We won't get 17"sn,it looks like a slush puppy to me.Just hope the zr is limited before the verticals are good enough for sn
