tnweathernut Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 School systems need better advisors. A lot of times, schools dismiss when they are better off staying and sometimes they dismiss at the worst possible time (during the heavy snow). We had around 3/4 an inch at the house in north Johnson City (according to my sick at home son) and a heavy dusting in Erwin with the largest flakes I have seen since 1998 falling toward the end of the heavy precip. Nice surprise... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer, that stinks when rain washes away the snow. Hopefully this is a sign of bigger things to come though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 It turned sloppy and foggy here. Temps hanging in the 30s again. Third straight day the models were too warm here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 The RGEM pretty much saw it 40+ hours out and I believe the NAM 12km sort of sniffed it out around 30 hours in advance. The NAM 3km on the other hand never really did grasp it. I believe as one of the posters here described it, the 3km sometimes seems to try too hard on the terrain features and elevation. With all that considered, the actual event overperformed all models at least for me.I agree. The 12k NAM handled it better than the 3k NAM. On sim radar 3k NAM never turned it over to snow with the initial band. It was too warm. GFS and FV3 also picked up on it as well somewhat.

Holston_River_Rambler Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Oh but wait, we have GOES 16 mesoscale floater over the TN valley today, so we can watch in ultra hi def: In other news, given the sound on my roof and radar, I'm guessing the rain has over performed yet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Looks like it should be snowing out in West TN. Let us know what is happening and send us some Pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The FV3 isn't backing down from the midweek system. It's on it's own with the amount of cold. Looks like a lot of near misses or light events being thrown out in the extended. This will either be a nice period over the next two weeks or the 2nd year in a row with very frustrating weather.

John1122 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Front just passed here with gusty winds and a heavy rain shower. It was 50 10 minutes ago. Now 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Gusty wind, moderate snow and 33 here now. Small flakes, but it looks like a thick fog outside due to the snow. I'd guess the winds at 25-30 WNW/NW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Unfortunately it looks like the commahead is on the fast track to dying out on the radar. It could partly be moving into poor radar coverage but I think mostly it's lost support from the parent low. The NW flow may kick in for a while and bring enough snow showers here to cover things.

I'm most surprised you're getting calm winds. They are roaring here. Actually heard a limb hit my roof a little while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was close, but same end result. Just north and east of me with pick up some accumulation. Shame on me for thinking it would be any different this time LUL. I am getting some of those snow showers that you mentioned that aren't showing up on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you are in a spot to get NW flow snow or not but if you are, hopefully you can get some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just maybe on the next system, we'll have a more favorable track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cold and calm. You must have some ridges around you giving you some shelter from the wind. Gusts are uniformly 20-30 across the area, Oak Ridge, Crossville, Middlesboro, Chattanooga etc. As I type this it's gusting up right now outside. I'd say 20-25.

AMZ8990 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Ended up with a very light dusting last night, nothing substantial just dusting on the cartops and the leaves in the yard. Hopefully it’s a sign of more to come soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlunderStorm Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 We have some overnight nw flow snow here.I'd say right now I have a heavy dusting with persistent under the radar light snow/flurries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
