Jed33 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Man it’s just been pouring snow here for the last hour. It’s really too bad that the ground temp was just too warm bc I’ve been at or below 32 all day. It’s just the ground temp wouldn’t support more accumulation than 1/3-1/2in at a time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 What a difference 30-45min makes! I went from barely anything sticking to a yard that’s white! Got about 3/4in now 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsty2001 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Idk what happened, it wasn't but 30 minutes I looked outside and just went out and it's pouring snow. Already sticking to the roads in some spots 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Very strong winds, snow and blowing snow here now. Vis is maybe 1/2 mile. 30 degrees. Accumulating quickly now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsty2001 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 My sister said some of the roads in Greene Co are starting to get white O.o Also looking at the radar, this precip seems to be more aggressive than what was modeled I believe? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already sticking to the roads in some spots I know man, it’s like after 3:30 the sun stopped having as much influence on the temperature and the banding that set up really cooled things off. Down to 29 now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Pouring here. 28.7 degrees and just had a gust of 17. Roads covering again. coming up on an inch soon 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 It’s definitely a NW event now. As soon as the showers make it to Knox Co they dry up. Need higher lapse rates or a trigger. Don’t see Knoxville getting much out of this now. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Hot Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 30 in Kingsport, light snow, ground is now white. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Still looks very NNW with the flow at this point, even almost due N to S at times, after a small pivot to NW earlier. Not sure the actual NW flow has started or will. MRX mentioned something about it being NNW yesterday in the AFD. That may mean snow for different folks than a normal NW flow event, at least for now. The reason I mention this is I always say know your back yard here in the region. Small differences make big differences for a lot of back yards. How well you do or don't in NNW or almost N flow is worth filing away for the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Working toward 2” quickly here. Temp down to 27. Lot of moisture left 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Not much here in MoCo, sadly. Got the higher winds John mentioned too. Looked like it was about tp pour the snow, but nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fountainguy97 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Heavy snow now. 27 surface temp and 850s are approaching -10c. Flakes are decent size and coming down in buckets. ground smoothing over. Wonder what the ceiling is for this event.... several hours left.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Steady snow and 28 degrees. They just called school here for tomorrow. Nothing on radar at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Another odd thing about this event, 98 percent of flow events are connected to Lake Michigan. This one actually looks like it's picking up some Erie moisture instead and it's pointed down into the mountains further north than normal flow snow. I'm curious about whether or not LeConte is getting hit hard like they do when it's true NW with the Lake Michigan connection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a dusting since the half inch this morning! Downsloping from Mountains along KY border apparently. Temp down to 27.6. . Odd, regardless in that Kingsport and back to Morristown is cashing in more. No real upslope area there. Maybe the residual moisture along with warmer ground over there allowing development.??. Anyway, glad for you guys. You deserve it, even if my home fails with this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math/Met Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Feeling pretty good about this event in Greene County. Currently at 1.25 inches. With the RAP showing some support at 700mb and the coldest 850mb temperatures still being advected into the area, there should be continued development/enhancement as it interacts with the terrain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, just looked outside and it's coming down good. I imagine travel tomorrow will be difficult, the roads here are white already 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, glad for you guys. You deserve it, even if my home fails with this one. I figured you might be doing well. Since the pivot is east right now and it's pulling in the Erie moisture i figured SWVA was in a good spot. I guess Black Mountain Kentucky and High Knob may be down sloping you. You'll see it really hit hard 15 or 20 miles in the shadow of the mountains then redevelop further east. That happens even more pronounced in North Carolina. The upslope rides up the west side of the mountains here, spills over into NC, then the down slope areas hit. Then you'll see redevelopment 50 or 60 miles east of the shadow. I'd guess thats what is happening South and Southeast of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
