Snowing over my house in the Cedarsprings area tiny flakes reaching the ground.  Air just to dry for anything more. Moving our Fast.

Guess depends where you are - when it started here there were fairly large flakes which put a fairly good covering on the grassy areas - now it is the fine stuff. Luckily for me, may not have to do this next year as put in for a promotion located just north of Hartford CT!

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Morristown TN
405 AM EST Sat Mar 11 2017

.SHORT TERM (Today through Sunday)...
The forecast questions for the period is "How much snow and where
will  it fall?", both of which seem to trending downward and
southward respectively. Latest few runs of all available models
continue to trend towards less moisture and a more southern track.
Current guidance suggests a dusting to less than an inch north of
I-40 in the East TN Valley and Northern Plateau while areas
further south may see an inch in the Valley increasing up to 2
inches in the higher elevations of the the Southern Plateau.
Additionally, areas in the foothills along the Appalachian
Mountains of East TN and SW NC will likely see 1 to 3 inches total
with some isolated higher elevations seeing accumulations of up
to 4 inches.

Forecast confidence is fairly high with the timing of the snow
being  mainly in the 0-12Z time frame with best moisture centered
around 6Z tonight. Forecast confidence is somewhat lower on
precise location of snowfall totals as the east to west
orientation of the event sets up a rather sharp moisture and
therefore snowfall gradient. In these situations...location is
everything. A small shift north or south and the central valley
could see 1 to 2 inches during the overnight with the southern
third of the area getting a slightly lesser amount.


One area where confidence IS growing would be the forecast for
the Northern Plateau, SW Virginia, and NE Tennessee. These areas
look like they will be out of play for this event. There is just
no moisture available to work with and with consensus of models
keeping moisture well south of that area for the event, would not
expect a sudden shift that far north for best QPF.

Beautiful snow in Kingston Springs. Coming down nicely. All surfaces coated except roadways.

That is the way it is where I am, the kind of good snow, on everything except the roads, likely will be gone pretty quick once it stops coming down and the sun gets higher but makes for a great pix and amazing to think that it is snowing and just 36 hours prior there were tornado warnings in the area.

Great, why am I not surprised? I have enough on the ground now to make a difference with low temps tonight if we clear out I do not see the Nashville area making it to a high of 40 we are now in a now cast situation - from Nashville NWS....
