Met1985 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 The models are still a go for cold and snow. We have high wind warnings out and possibly severe weather and it looks like we may even get hit with a WWA starting tomorrow evening. I love active weather.

BooneWX Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Really surprised that this thread isn't more active right now. Mixed feelings about the snow. It feels weird to wish it away, but it's two months late and it's masters week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The models still look great for snow to start to break out tomorrow evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Guess we got "lucky" with no real bad storms last night for the mountains. Still wishing for 70's and sun. I want to jump in the river, not my jacket. Tired of that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it was heavy rain or light hail, but had a storm move in at around 615 this morning. But I refused to get out of bed to see what was falling. I didnt think there was a chance really of any rain after the midnight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea sized hail left a nice white hue on the ground and covered up my stairs. Very close thunder coupled with the hail hitting right outside my window woke me up.

Brad PanovichVerified account @wxbrad 1h1 hour ago Northwest flow snow cranks up this evening in the mountains. Highest elevations above 3500' could see 2-5", some peaks higher. #wncwx #snOMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It's been snowing on and off for a few hours now but nothing has really stuck. My temp has been steady for the last couple of hours at 33.8. The wind has picked up considerably the past hour. Just had a gust to 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 The returns look good but just not coming across the moutains the way we need it too. If this can turn more NW we will be in business. The rain snow line is slowly falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 LeConte was at 3 inches 2 hours ago, temp was 22 there. Of course if you blow hard enough towards it from Knoxville, LeConte will squeeze out an inch. It's near a blizzard above 5000 feet. 50mph winds and up to 8 inches of snow forecast there overnight. Freezing level appears to be around 4500 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 With the sun going down and the temp finally getting below freezing (30.3) things are starting to get white quick. I've got about a half inch and it's really coming down now. Give me 3 to 4 and I'll be at about half of my normal snowfall. Sad that it took until April to get it.
