Carvers Gap Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 11 hours ago, BlunderStorm said: As the snow was changing to rain I recorded 3.1" not much later the power went out. It just recently has come back on. Am I reading your snow totals correctly that you have had 9.7" of snow during March alone w nine days of a trace or more? Awesome.

BlunderStorm Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Gradually my snow totals for the season have risen to around average. I would determine the snow depth by measuring in the middle of the yard most of the time. If the snow depth remained the same for roughly hour I recorded it and if it started to snow again I would add to it until taking a measurement at midnight. Sure there wasn't a blockbuster winter storm this season for me but each event slowly added up with "Miraculous March" making up for "Fabulous February"! If I were to add all my snow for the season counting my recording of dustings as 0.1" and traces as 0.01 it would be 21.47" if it doesn't snow again. All in all with everything accounted for this season wasn't bad after all. US climate data has Lebanon at only 11" and Richlands at 17" which I struggle to believe for a second. I really don't know what the average annual snowfall is here though so I guesstimate it's somewhere between 20" to 28". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Well it's said conversation encourages conversation. This morning I was surprised to be met with mild air 56 to be exact as I left home, it's a welcome change but on the flip side of the coin the euro doesn't want to let go of winter which I'm also fine with. I'll take anything over the 40s with rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Honaker briefly tapped 80 today for the first time since fall. The winds are currently 12 mph from the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Finally managed to break the low clouds here in Knoxville for a bit today. I hit 80 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hit 80° here briefly in places around KTRI this afternoon. Quite sunny and felt very Spring-like. Steady SSW surface flow ahead of the front. Could be some pretty good winds overnight as the front passes through and an isolated thunderstorm or two. Branches and general yard debris should make for fun landscaping this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Really nice satellite image of the foggy valley bottoms in East TN this morning on GOES 16. Particularly interesting to me is the fog that runs up into the Frozen Head area, an area I hadn't thought of as a river valley, but sure enough the New River runs up into it.

Holston_River_Rambler Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Nice thunderstorm rolling in through Knoxville this morning. Looking back, not much depicted on the models, although the latest HRRR sort of has it, but then again it probably initialized with it already developing. The storm and its tiny kin folk running from Loudon county north aren't that large, but probably the most thunder I've heard from a storm this year.

John1122 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 It's raw out there, temp has fallen through the 30s today. The models whiffed majorly on the precip/cold meeting until the very short range when they picked up on it. Still managed a few snow showers and that's not too bad for April 7th. May manage a few more Sunday night into Monday morning. After that I think the snow threat is over until the usual time next fall. Still, it's crazy that we struggle so many seasons to get snow here, but snow can fall in the state every month except June, July and August and add September to that and snow has fallen in every other month in the below 5000 feet regions.

Carvers Gap Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Had to do a double take...snow is falling here. Nothing big...but snow in April. Absolute bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Echoes seem to have just appeared out of nowhere on Huntsville radar. I wouldn't have looked if you hadn't mentioned you were getting snow, Carvers. I'm getting hopeful to see some snow in Knoxville now too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 It would seem the snow redevelopment has expanded into Tennessee as of right now moderate snow is falling and sticking on the grass! Currently it is 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersnow888 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 had about given up on seeing anything but rain. Temp has fallen to 29 and a mix of sleet and snow is falling. I don't see anything on radar here in nw Cumberland Co.but glad to see something frozen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Snow has picked up business here since around 3. Nickel to quarter sized flakes and 1/2 mile vis. It's actually blowing around on roads. Temp is 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Managed to pick up a coating on the grass and leaves and car tops. It's lightened up at this point but it was neat to see it coming down pretty hard for a while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Finally getting a few medium sized snowflakes mixed in with the rain near downtown Knoxville. It has been trying so hard here. I drove out for a bit and I'm sure all of you know that ice crystal splat that wet snow has on the windshield... well the rain was splatting with individual drops where the crystals must have been a few hundred feet up.

Jed33 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Snow is beginning to mix in with the rain now here at the house. Temp dropped to 37, and that seemed to be the point where the mix began. Amazing that we’re talking snow in April! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Drove down to Knoxville. Seemed to be a light mix driving over the Ridge at Raccoon Valley. Otherwise falling snow seemed to end at the CC/AC line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlunderStorm Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I would say at the most a dusting occurred here before melting off the ground but to see snowfall this late was really something and to top it off it may spit some more snow Monday morning.

BlunderStorm Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 It was just a little too warm to snow this morning currently it is 35 with a mix of rain and snow without any accumulation. Still it is nice to see flakes flying when its cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Fires in N. Georgia really hazing up the S / SW sky here in Knoxville. Figured we'd had enough rain to drown any chance of something like that, but the air was really dry today and it was windy. Apologies, should also add I hope all are ok. As a side note, these fires really show up on NT microphysics setting on GOES 16. Not totally sure that's what it is depicting, but it really seems that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxjagman Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 We went though North Ga this morning going to Jeckylll Island (my son has a gymnastics meet)and there was no fires.This must be something else.The drought monitor shows no drought other than an abnormal drought in SC.But there were no fires in N/Ga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 That's what I thought too when I first noticed the haze. I couldn't believe there'd be any fire danger after the spring the area has had and maybe it is some other sort of fire other than a forest fire, but when I looked at GOES 16 visible it looked just like a fire. Whatever they are, they didn't start until about noon - 2 PM yesterday so that may be why you didn't see anything. Whatever they are I'm glad it's going to rain this weekend in the area.
