John1122 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Looking upstream I don't see anything to be enthusiastic about the rest of the evening for my area. Winter 2019-20 wasn't as bad as 2018-19 for my area and not as bad as 2017-18 either. But those two are basically the gold standard for the worst winters in my life. It's either bound to bounce back at some point or I'm going to have to move to the Tughill Plateau for year or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Did just see a photo from some of the snow in eastern Kentucky. About an inch under the heavier stuff there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Looks like incoming for the southern Plateau. May even break into Chattanooga proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Its wild to watch the rain leave Kentucky and change to snow on the Plateau, and leave the Plateau and change to rain in the southern Eastern areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Looks like this is likely to be the biggest snowfall this season the way it's going here. Quite impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are higher than most people.I looked at some spots just now east and seen the winds were blowing more from the SW,seems odd,The 925's to the south per HRRR would be tough to support snow anyways other than higher elevations per HRRR that far south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Ended up getting several decent bands to rotate through over the last few hours. One was as odd as any situation I've seen during heavier snow. It was 32, a band of very heavy snow rotated in the from the NW and the temperature went up to 34 during the band. I don't remember ever seeing the temperature rise while heavy snow was falling. 29 now, 3/4ths of an inch once again. So modeling that showed my area getting about 1.5 total from the clippers was about right. I-75 got pretty slick from Caryville to Jellico but the salt brigade is out now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Did ok here too overnight. Looks like about 1/4", enough to coat everything for a pretty sunrise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Boone Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Wound up with 1.8 inches overnight. 2 inch total yesterday last night combined. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCee Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 My family in southeast Kentucky had about 1.5" overnight, and I had enough to turn the ground white here after recording .19" in the last 24 hours. Considering meteorological winter ends today, I'll take it. In any event, it's a beautiful late winter day, and I'm spending it cleaning up all the tree debris after this winter, and I'm ready to burn it tomorrow before another round of heavy rain moves in next week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 My guess is some convergence in the wake misses you to the northwest. Have you ever checked up 27? Hypothesis is based on trajectory exactly parallel to the mountains. If from the west or northwest, I figure everybody gets killed by downslope. We know a lot about that in Chattanooga off the Plateau, lol! On 2/28/2020 at 7:43 PM, Holston_River_Rambler said: Man I think the Crab Orchard mts just kill me with SW - NE moving precip. They don't look like much on a map (for those not on the plateau, I'm sure you are familiar Shcoker,) but I am in their shadow (sorry weird symbol is my area): In other news, Friday evening I'm so glad I missed MRX updating for the Chattanooga area. Never even saw that update. Watched Netflix when it became obvious KCHA temps would hang up as usual. Good for those who got snow OK with the system. Despite the wonderful Feb. 8 surprise, KCHA has adjusted back to just being the cheering section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Downsloping FTW" should be the subform motto. Unless of course there is a flooding threat, then it enhances the rainfall. LOL 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Boone Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Down sloping from nearly every direction. Only direction without it for much of the great Valley is from the SW or SSW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
