BlunderStorm Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Per, Carver's request and seeing that today is the first day of meteorological Spring I figured we might as well get a thread going. Here's to hoping for warm and sunny days ahead! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 After getting a taste or two of spring I’m ready to move on from what they call winter. . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Sun's out! VOLS win! Weird ebb and flow of the clouds off the plateau. They seem to recede, then move back. Maybe front to NW came through? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Getting light snow. Won't amount to anything but every flake this year has been tough to come by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Ended up with a dusting of snow this morning. Sad that this year is so poor it's one of the notable snow events of the year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Just about to say something similar John. Flurries in Knoxville and one of the few days this winter that has a wintery feel to it. Normally I'm not a fan of cloudy and cold, but I'm just so tried of the rain that these types of clouds seem nice. I never thought I'd say I was starting to distinguish between types of cloudy days, (and like some more than others) but there it is. Went to Petty John's Cave in N GA yesterday and it was just a washout. Interesting experience being in a cave with a torrential downpour with saturated ground. You can really see where/ how the cave making happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Few light flurries and snow grains here this AM too. Enough to see in the eves of housetops. Like stated earlier, it’s kinda sad to mention as one of the “events” of the year. Maybe next year will be better, we can hope, right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Looking at GOES 16 this AM, as the sun rises, you can faintly see the areas where upslope vs downslope occurs with the textures of the cloud tops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Went to go running this AM...my route was flooded again. The water was not even that muddy. The base state is now basically out of its banks when it rains. And now...we head into the actual heart of the spring rainy season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Well, as little as it is I am glad to have awoken to a solid dusting this morning. I just hope I can report over a foot of snow as the bare minimum for my location this season before all is said and done. A little less than an inch to go! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 17 degrees this AM and a few snow flurries on the way to drop of the kids at school. Before I left the house with them I caught a glimpse of a cool sun pillar (at least that’s what I’ve always heard them called. There may be another name.)over the mountains. I have seen them before but never could quite get the lighting right to get a picture or I’m driving. This morning I wasn’t in a hurry and was finally able to get a decent picture. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurbus Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm getting some light sleet near the Karns area. It caught me by surprise when I let the dogs out for the night and was hearing the light crunching sound as the sleet fell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Steady snow w some sleet falling here. Not likely to amount to much, but even seeing it fall is a rare treat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Transitioned to heavy sleet now with some nickel sized snow flakes mixed. 35 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Just had sleet and a few flakes mixed in. Enough to show up again in the eves of houses. Guess we’ll call it an “eve-duster” haha. It’s melting now that it’s stopped. Temp is 35. Dewpoint 31. I see that just north of the state line in VA, many counties are under WWA. Maybe Blunder will pick up a nice surprise this AM! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math/Met Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Winds are starting to pick up along the mountains and foothills. There could be a significant wind event tonight in a few spots. The wind profile on models is more favorable now. I could see an upgrade to a high wind warning being warranted as the event gets going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math/Met Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Already gusting close to 60 at Camp Creek. How strong this event gets will likely be determined by how effective downsloping is at keeping rain out of the area. When rain moves in, it usually prevents stronger gusts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math/Met Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Recent gust of around 71mph at Camp Creek. The rain overcame the downslope flow and moved over the area, otherwise I think the gusts would have been higher so far. Edit: Update from MRX discussion. Quote .DISCUSSION...Quick update to upgrade rest of wind advisory area to a high wind warning. Also included Cherokee and Clay county North Carolina. The strongest wind gusts will occur above 3500 feet with gusts between 60 and 70 mph. Gusts between 70 and 80 mph are possible at elevations above 4000 feet. Decision was made based on HTX and MRX velocity readings. Both radars have consistently been showing 70kts of velocity above 3500 feet and 80kts above 5000 feet. Sevier county electric currently reporting 3000 customers without power. Sevier county dispatch reported much of Gatlinburg without power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Blindingly heavy rain and frequent lightning earlier as I drove home from Oak Ridge. Lots of urban flooding around Clinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Bump. Of note I have a few more flurries to report so that's something I suppose and yesterday I started up the old push mower which had lied dormant since November.

Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Controlled burn? Must have been some interesting mid/ upper winds for that smoke to take that weird split path. Definitely noticed it over Knox this PM. https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/breakingnews/story/2019/mar/18/fires-might-be-part-prescribed-burns/490784/ Not sure about the one near Cumberland County though: 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Had another bout of small hail, and would really swear there was sleet and even a flake or 2 mixing in with it this evening. Temp dropped to 35 degrees during the heaviest of it. Covered the picnic table and stuck pretty good on the kiddos trampoline. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
