Stovepipe Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Beautiful scene here in west Knox. An admin should be able to restore the deleted thread. WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 @AMZ8990 started it according to the January thread. I can't see him deleting a thread on purpose. Maybe was trying to rename it and hit the wrong button. I have tagged him, so let's see what he says. He doesn't seem like someone that would do that on purpose. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawCrabMeat Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 We did pretty well over here! We've got the tallest grass in my neighborhood and you can't see a single blade through the snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlunderStorm Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Last to the party and I'm just as surprised as everyone else about the thread disappearing out of existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Definitely cannot delete threads on purpose. The record of the event is important in science. That said I totally agree, they are always welcome here. People make mistakes. We forgive and forge ahead. Thank you for all the reports. Love the title of the report thread, lol! Kansas plays at Texas tonight. Should be a tough road game. Really need a win on Kansas Day. Jan. 29, 1861 Kansas became a State. I know, pretty young compared to Tennessee! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to edit the keywords for the thread and somehow I managed to delete the entire thread instead of just editing the keywords for it. I tried to refresh my browser and go back but by then the server told me I could not access the threads data anymore. I feel like crap guys, this is my bad.

But you know, in the future when you see they guys from Maryville starting a storm thread for a nearly certain, historic storm for Hardeman Co...probably should save some screen shots. Just kidding of course... But hey, maybe it was reverse mojo...deleting the storm thread equals bigger storm. LOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna have to watch my back next time I come up to Knoxville for a football or basketball game. Lol. I sent a message to the admins about the thread so hopefully they can retrieve it for us somehow and we can have all those pics, gifs, and data back to look through. Edit- I just saw where the thread was back up so I have been saved by the AMWX gods I reckon!! Now I can leave my bulletproof jacket at home next time I come to Knoxville. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Hot Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Just my own personal observation here but so amazing that we have all these fancy weather models and hi-tech tools in 2019, and man is no closer to being able to determine precisely what , when, or exactly where the weather will be. Only the Creator knows what the future holds. At 5 p.m. it was still 31 degrees and not even a complete dusting and 2 days ago we were under a Winter Storm Watch. Failure to launch in NE TN valley.

Geography. This area is very hard to mathematically sort out variables that determine if the exact timing, precip amounts, and temps that produce borderline rain or snow. Couple that with the fact that climate is changing and historical patterns can't be relied on as heavily as they once were and it's just a tough thing to predict here. Models are friggin fantastic at predicting snow in many/most other areas, especially higher latitudes where these variables aren't a marginal. It's frustrating, but that's just the reality we live in here in the mid south. Best to just take it in stride and find humor in it I say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Glad they found the missing thread. Our next step would have been to ask the NSA. They have everything! The model (NWP) struggles offer humans job security. Chattanooga whiff is always an easy call for the human. Seriously, Stove is right. Statistical NWP methods work great until the sample size is small. Snow in the South is a small sample size. Add the shifting climate, and the sample size is even smaller and/or historical samples are no longer valid. NWP is much better when the weather is closer to normal, with a nice sample size. In college hoops, Tennessee looks solid and continues to improve. Meanwhile Kansas is lost without Azubuike. Coach cannot find the right adjustment. Looks like our streak of Big 12 titles is over. Thankfully I'm having fun following Tennessee! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilton01 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I get the difficulty modeling for an area as unfavorable (for snow) as ours is; latitude, geography, microclimates, etc. but it seems to me that most modeling, most of the time, misses even the bigger factors for our area. How many times a winter do we see situations like yesterday where even the major factors are miss-modeled or even flat out missed over time? Gulf connection, L pressure location, L pressure formation, speed of air mass, etc. etc.. Fascinating to me to watch the evolution of each storm and to watch us (and by us I mean those of you with so much more understanding then myself!) combine modeling with expertise/knowledge to arrive at a sensible forecast. Grateful to all of you here who have the knowledge and understanding, and the willingness to share it, to at least allow me to stand on the sidelines and observe your input and thoughts. Thanks to all of you! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
