Just doesn't happen any more like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Boone Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Scattered lt. Sn showers here today. Went to Middlesboro earlier and noticed areas on Stone Mountain in western Lee County had measurable snow in streaks. Alway down to about 1400 ft. In some places. More as u go up of course. Apparently some heavy snow showers or training streaks went over these areas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Spent the day in Knoxville, got home about 7:30 and there are still flurries ongoing here. The snow flurries stopped just south of Caryville today as I headed towards Knoxville. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Actually had a few snow showers over the last hour dusting the deck and car tops. Little blue specks show up on the radar but it's mostly undetected on there. Temp is in the 20s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 The fog tonight was incredible as I drove home. I was literally a mile away from where I thought I was at one point this evening. You couldn't see Walmart from 100 yards away. I mean not even any light from it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Awesome satellite imagery early this AM that shows some of the local microclimates. What especially stands out to me are the WAA areas in the eastern Valley and the areas up against that N. plateau that normally get a little CADing in in Miller B type systems: probably a lot more to learn from a satellite image like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Plateau sunset: You can hear the wind aloft. Something fun must be going on higher up. I took a short time lapse of the clouds rolling. You can actually see this cloud formation on the local GOES 16 imagery, at the bottom of the Frozen Head mts. Really, just a vividly blue sky, after the drear of late. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holston_River_Rambler Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Took a drive to Sparta TN yesterday. Beautiful views of the western edge of the plateau looking towards Cookeville: Also, cool sunrise this AM up here, some cirrus, before dawn, were catching the sun: I had to tweak the above mage a bit to capture the almost eerie look, due to low light.

Jed33 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Looks like we have been at or below freezing since about 4:30 Thursday afternoon. Today should warm up into the 40’s, so it will end the streak of freezing or below freezing temps. I’ll have to look back, but I’m thinking it’s been since 2018-2019 since we had a stretch below freezing of that length or greater. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
