John1122 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I managed another 1/2 inch this morning with about 1-2 inches worth falling but melting was happening to fast to get much more down at a given time. Friend in Richmond, Ky got about 5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Light snow developed this evening as it got dark. Wasn't expecting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Definitely looked ominous up that way from Knoxville. Clouds were lowering, rolling, and darkening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 You and I both John, the first wave from the northwest has arrived faster than I was expecting. I checked the radar halfway convinced I would see nothing but to my surprise snow was falling. Anything that falls now is going to stick but NW flow is fickle.

John1122 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Not amounting to much but light snow has been falling since about an hour before dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Really fun to watch the upper level disturbance move in, in real time from the ground. Went out for a run around the neighborhood around 5 PM and saw a dramatic change in the clouds from beginning to end of the run. Clouds went from plain old cumulus, to starting to line up in what seemed to be streets and I could see the snow falling, but not reaching the ground! One of the hill tops I run to has views of the Smokies and they looked downright snowy already! Decided to check GOES 16 a few minutes ago and sure enough the cloud streets were showing up as the upper low moved in! Maybe I'm a little too weird but it was fun to be thinking about the mid and upper levles and how they effect what we see and then actually then see it happen.

John1122 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Had some light snow this evening, winds are stout from the NW, temp is 36 degrees. Large area of precip moving from Southern Indiana and Western Ky that is pointed right at the Eastern Valley region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 These snow showers coming through are pretty heavy. I have an inch of snow on the ground independent of the snow last night since it all entirely melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Just looked outside and realized a nice snow shower had come through. Nice dusting on picnic table, grass, and roof tops in the neighborhood. Temp fell from 37 to 32 with the passage of the snow shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Another inch and a half of snow fell on the latest and likely last wave of the night. Counting the early morning 3.2 inches fell in all today due to three single hour bursts. If this snow is the last of the season I think I can say farewell to this lackluster winter on a good note. I noticed a temperature drop as well over the past 2 hours it went from 30 to 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 The largest and possibly heaviest area of snow is actually located from just north of Nashville to Northern Kentucky now. I'd guess SWVA is good for 1-2 more inches. Possibly an inch or so in NETN and maybe 1/2 inch in my area if it holds together on this end. It has a decent connection to Lake Michigan and there should be some NW flow component. My temp is holding steady at 31 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Next squall is moving thru. First one only gave a dusting because it was having a hard time sticking. Noticed a little hook echo with this squall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncheelfan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I had to stay up for the 1245 squall that just came through. Snowed for about 15 minutes and laid down about an inch to an inch and a half. Most snow i have seen all winter!!!

BlunderStorm Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I may or may not get hit by the next wave of snow in Kentucky being so far northeast but as long as it doesn't break up it looks like the tri-cities are in for more. As a side note the temperature is 23 and winds are calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Blinding snow here, 1 inch in 35 minutes. Briefly had some 35-40 dbz overhead and the radar struggles to capture snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Wow is all I can say! I woke up a few min ago to see it so light inside the house, so I knew it must be snowing. I went to look outside and everything is white. Have 1 1/2in on the picnic table and grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It’s dark, so it’s hard to see, but it’s the best I could do right now for the 2nd biggest snow of the year by 1/2 an inch lol. Pretty sad when 1 1/2in is almost the biggest snow of the year, but I’ll gladly take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Bands have been forming and flowing over me over night, in one currently. 1.5 inches of snow here as well. Temp is 28. Crazy that this last week has been the snowiest period of winter. Didn't really get a big snow but around 3 inches have managed to stick this week and probably 5 have fallen.

Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Congratulations to all who got some nice snow! For some of the pictures I've seen it looks like it will be one of those really pretty snows that has stuck to everything once the sun rises. Going back and looking at GOES 16 Longwave IR, the little shortwave looked impressive as it moved through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Apparently even another squall moved through while I went back to bed. Looks like closer to 2in total now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I wish I had mowed the grass because of the dang wild onions that had sprouted, but anyway, here’s a picture from first light this AM. Even the roads have a light accumulation as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 2" of snow in west Kingsport. Some melting has already occurred from the ground underneath. Easily our biggest snow of the year IMBY and doubles my season total. March Madness!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Hot Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 27 degrees, flurries and about 1.5 inches on the ground in Kingsport this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 1” of snow here this morning. Interesting that Kingsport has 1.5 to 2”. Must of been another band come thru in the morning. That hook echo like feature finally dissipated east of Kingsport. Tiny supercell lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Just looking through Radarscope, finally found something with enough resolution. You can see the trajectory of individual cells(as @1234snow noted above the snow was moving through in cells vs banding like we see currently). I was looking at school closings, and they reflect the look below. The blue is .48 which I think is liquid equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Here are the last 24 hours in terms of radar - link below. You can see the band arrive about 4-5 hours ago. Matches the precipitation totals from above. Looks like it came through maybe three hours after the hook pic. I was looking at the back of my eyelids. http://storms.meas.ncsu.edu/users/mdparker/radarchive/ @*Flash*, nice work! Cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Another nice snow shower is pushing through as I type. I definitely do not usually do this well with NW flow type snow. This has to be about the most I’ve seen with this kind of setup in the 7yrs we’ve lived here. My in laws in Bristol VA barely have a dusting this AM. If anyone usually gets snow it’s them and not me, so pleasantly surprised! Also have to say that this is the 3rd latest accumulating snow that I can recall ever having seen.
