Jed33 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Heavy dusting here so far. Congrats to those to my south getting some good snows right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Moderate snow. 3/4ths of an inch here. It's sticking to everything event though it's in the 20s here. Oddly high moisture content for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCee Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 This system is over performing for areas around Knox, Sevier, Blount and Jefferson Counties. Repeated moderate to heavy bands developing here. Seems to be the Bulls eye right now. I noticed MRX did add our counties to the WWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Finally added Knox County and the three counties south of Knox to the advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knoxtron Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Major traffic issues in Knoxville. West Knox has about 1/2 inch, but roads are coated for the most part. Extremely slick, cars off the roads and wrecks everywhere. Looks like HRRR wants to develop another heavy band in the central valley in the next hour and keeps moisture swinging thru the central/northern valley throughout the day. SREF plumes show us above freezing in Knoxville at that point, but right now we are a couple of degrees below where we should be according to the plumes... Think this additional snow cover could help with temp issues come monday? Or are we still so much on the fence on the model mayhem that no one knows?

JayCee Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Closing in on 2 inches here on my deck and still snowing. Roads are a mess. I have steep hills on my particular road near Douglas Lake, and several cars are stuck at the bottom of one. Heaviest snow by far this winter. Trees also getting a coating now, so it's a wonderland in the woods around the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Have about 1/3in now on picnic table. Temp has fallen to 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Unless we get a lot more snow than even anticipated (prob 4 or more inches) this snow will be melted by Monday. I know it's going to be really cold, but the sunshine that we likely get tomorrow will melt this away. Need a decent snowpack to hold it in. Now Jaycee may still have snow through tomorrow, as he's getting dumped on now haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCee Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Measured barely over 2 inches on deck, and ground around house. Snow has lightened up and has become more scattered in nature down this way now, but still some pockets of moderate snow near and around Knoxville to move through.

Runman292 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Got around an inch here in North Knoxville. Anyone want to go burn some mattresses in front of the local news stations? Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have an inch and a quarter on my deck in West Knoxville with heaviest snow yet falling, but it looks to be about over now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCee Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Snow picking up again here...and noticed a heavier "blob" in Knox Co still to move through. Also, I noticed that while the heaviest is over, there is still some moisture dropping down from KY. It may keep the snow going a bit longer for areas east and north of Knox, such as Morristown and Tri-Cities (if it holds together). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvskelton Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Has been snowing for about 20 minutes in Kingsport. Light dusting so far but if this rate keeps up (and I expect it will) it won't take long to get interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I am under that blob and it is ripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Got under some heavier returns here the last hour. Have an inch on the picnic table. Roads are white now too. Just heard that I 81 was shut down btwn exit 8 and 12 due to accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayCee Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I am under that blob and it is ripping. Yes, that is an intense pocket of snow! Almost like a summer thundershower. Heading directly toward me... Sky has grown very dark here...again, almost like a summer storm approaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 After the last intense pocket of snow we ended up with an inch and a half on my deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Ridge Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Roughly a half-inch at my office on Princeton in JC. Congrats to the Knox area! Glad to see you guys have a surprise for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayCee Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Wow--just had a heavy downpour of snow for about 5 minutes. Huge flakes. Had to pull myself away from the radar and actually go out and stand in it. I could hear the snow "blobs" plopping on the ground. Snow has tapered to flurries for now. But I'm left with a winter wonderland of nearly 2 and half inches. All the trees are coated heavily with snow. It was sure an unexpected Friday treat. TGIF everyone.

Silas Lang Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Really coming down now. Closing in on an inch. I really like how this snow is wetter than the last stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm very happy with the couple of inches I got here. Roads near me seem ok but I'm glad the schools closed when they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm very happy with the couple of inches I got here. Roads near me seem ok but I'm glad the schools closed when they did. Very true. As much as I have disagreed with McIntyre in the past, he made the right call this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Schools here are letting out over the next hour. Been snowing for about 1.5 hours. Bout .5 inch. Nice to look at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCee Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Snow about over for areas south of Knoxville (from the look of the radar), and probably only light snow for my area for the next hour or so. Areas to the northeast, like Morristown, may continue in the snow for a good while longer, however. Moisture dropping in from the northwest keeping it going there.

JayCee Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Per MRX: AFDMRXAREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATEDNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN955 AM EST FRI FEB 12 2016.DISCUSSION...INITIAL SHOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS THIS MORNING HAVE BEEN GREATER FORSOUTHERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS THAN EXPECTED...BUT RADAR TRENDS SHOWTHAT SNOW IN THESE AREAS IS COMING TO AN END...AND THE FOCUS FORTHE NEXT FEW HOURS WILL BE IN SW VA AND NE TN.

JayCee Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'd say areas that got a good coating of snow (and don't lose it to melting today) will be a bit colder tonight and tomorrow than models suggest when the next Arctic shot moves in. Even a little snow pack can influence temperatures significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
