Jed33 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Man, it's just ripping snow right now!! Huge quarter to half dollar sized flakes probably between a quarter and half inch on grass and picnic table temp is now 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog660 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 38.6F, Winds W @ 10 but changes to NW at times. Dew 32F, 0.01" precipitation, but I don't know if there was any snow/sleet at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Well, that was very fun while it lasted. Picked up a half inch on the grass and picnic table roads just wet, but the cool thing about it was the rate at which it was coming down! The event in early January was at night, so it was hard to see. This time, we just had turkey feather flakes falling for about 30 min. I'll consider that a win to see it during the late afternoon and hope for a little more after dark, but if it doesn't, oh well, I'm tickled that this system squeeked out this band for me!

John1122 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Just rode home, off and on heavy snow shows still rotating across. Goes from nothing falling to ripping nickels and quarters for 15-20 minutes. Since dark it's been more cooperative about sticking to roads, around 1.25 inches here. One thing the models got right here was that they all showed all snow here. It never rained and I'd guess the ones showing 3 inches of snow fall were right, it's just that around 1/3 was able to accumulate due to warm ground after weeks near 60 and not getting sub freezing a night and not being below 32 most of the day. Also, I-75 being treated for snow/ice throughout CC per TDOT. Heavy band crossed the southern and northern end of the county in the last 30 minutes.

John1122 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Second heaviest rate of the day just moved across. Nearly a white out. These convective bands are fast but mean business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Sunday afternoon 1/29/17 Chattanooga had some graupely snow showers. More than I expected, lol. Convective nature made the clouds interesting. Welcome new posters! Detailed descriptions of precip type, precip mix, intensity, size, shape, texture etc are great. Ground truth is priceless. Though Chatty missed, it was a great weekend. Most important ob: Kansas pulled out the road win in the challenging Rupp Arena venue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These convective bands are fast but mean business. Had one convective band move through around 9:00 PM last night. Managed a heavy dusting. It did mean business. Like 30 mph winds and heavy snow for about 10mins. Hey, bout time we have a clipper party at your house. You rarely miss on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live between Boones Creek and Gray and we also had a whitening of the ground with a brief, but very heavy snow shower. Temp dropped to 28 during the intensity, then back to 31 after it quit. I tried to imagine this is what it looks like west of Boston, just a LOT more.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Congratulations! You all can officially report involvement with the great 2017 Nor'easter and New England thunder snowstorm. Cape Cod transfer on radar loop is impressive. NYC wrapping up quickly, but they got it. Boston is going to get hammered even harder. Philly is lucky they got what they did, that just-in-time thickness crash is usually too-late boundary layer. Sound familiar in southeast Tenn? LOL! Anyway, we can say a small part of Tennessee was involved today. Update for below: Kingsport went all Kansas that 24-hour period. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 During the past 24 hours in Kingsport we have had...thunderstorms w heavy rain, nickel size hail, sleet, snow, strong winds not associated w the storms, and sun. Roof tops had a dusting this AM. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Been having off and on sleet mixing in this afternoon with the rain due to the low dewpoints. Guess it's better than nothing. At least it's winter precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 If you can get it to switch over, I wouldn't be surprised if you get 3+ inches of heavy wet snow. The rain here is absolutely pouring down right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Now at the very tail end of the precip, I've got a few heavy wet snowflakes trying to mix in with the rain. Temp has dropped to 36. I'll take it as a win. Kinda sad we're having to strain and hunt for any type of winter precip this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The storm has passed over night much faster than expected however roughly 2 inches of wet snow sits on the ground. The goal of achieving 10 inches of snowfall is close to being achieved with half an inch to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
