Keep the pics and obs rolling in Olhausen!

That dry slot keeps hanging on...starting to wonder if it will fill in at all before the low shifts on out??

This is beginning to remind me of a storm in the early 2000s (PD II, I think). Dry slot murdered totals through the day but the area was smacked by wraparound for a solid 12 hours. Dynamically, I know this is very different.

After some heavy sleet, the sun is peaking out again.  Feels more like April showers with this system.

[Blue Ridge]

Officially up to a foot now.

Edit. I have a round glass table outside that I've always used to measure my snow. Not sure if this is the best way but 12 inches is what the tape measure is going down to in the middle of it.

Congrats! Happy for Middle TN to get in on the action.

Well do. I'm getting ready to take my two 11 week old Rottweilers out to play in it so I will get a bunch of pictures and post them this evening.

Steady snow here. I've gotten about 2 inches total today. May be able to pick up another 2-3 from here on out.

 

 

Were you in the dry slot for a time?  My parents near London, KY have been hit hard--more like the Nashville area.

It's been off and on here all day. Snows, stops, rains, stops, snows etc etc. If I hadn't had 5 inches of snow on the ground I doubt it would be accumulating on anything but trees.

Where does this storm fit in terms of the record books there?  A foot is hefty, man.  Great score!

I am thinking he might be the snow "winner" when all is said and done.  I haven't seen any higher totals anywhere just yet.

About 6" so far hoping we can scrape another 1-2

Like the winner for the last decade on this forum.  He is setting the mark high w/ 1' totals, man!

1 Celsius, and thank heavens for deformation; we've got heavy snow in Madison.

[bearman]

Small flakes starting to appear with the large ones in West Knoxville the transition is on its way.   Hopefully we will keep the precipitation.

Zippity, do you think the totals will exceed expectations around here?

[John1122]

It's really heavy now. Heaviest of the day. Sky is filled with silver dollars.

[Coach B]

3" here near Lewisburg.

[jaxjagman]

Good luck to you guys out east

[zippity]

Hello! No, I don't think it will exceed expectations unless the circulating band right over us manages to stick around.

[Silas Lang]

Temps have been dropping after going up to 36 briefly. 34 now. Humidity rising from 70% to 80%. Getting snow light snow/flurries now. Less breaks in the clouds now.

 

Whatever the result of this storm, going to be a mess tomorrow. Especially with the wet ground, roads, slush, and previous snowpack freezing up and additional accumulations.

 

EDIT: Fat flakes now at 33.

[John1122]

Looks like snow has overspread all of Anderson County and is working it's way into Knox as the 850 line works into the Central Valley.

 

It's been dang stark today. I've got 8 inches on the ground now and 20 miles south of me was bare grass a couple hours ago.

As of early this morning LeConte was at 13 inches with "screaming" winds and knee high drifts. Sadly the observer was leaving the mountain for a trail race in Huntsville. Not sure if there will be any obs coming from there until he returns on Monday.

That would be one helluva scary hike down.  I've been in the wilderness during a wind advisory and it was one of the scariest experiences I've ever had.  Trees cracking and breaking all around... ugh.

This probably belongs in banter, but I'm posting here because I think it will be seen by more people. My father in law owns a commercial landscaping company here in Madison. We are responsible for putting down ice melt at all of the Red Stone Bank Branches. We are trying to decide if we should go ahead and head out or wait. Any opinions are appreciated!

I'd say if they want their parking lots clear first thing in the morning you should.  It's going to get well down into the 20s there tonight. Adding salt to the water on the parking lot should keep it from turning into an ice rink overnight. It also may snow an inch or two there once it goes below freezing.

Finally... dimes and nickels falling here.  First frozen precip I've seen at my house all day.

^{Hate that we are quickly losing daylight.  Definitely rain mixed with snow here, but won't be able to enjoy the show as much with the loss of daylight.}

Well to be fair, we got our daytime snow earlier in the week.    I plan on spending plenty of time outside tonight under my deck with a beer in one hand and an LED flashlight in the other.
