fountainguy97 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Heaviest of the night so far. It just keeps coming. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 This looks like the width of the snow shadow generated in NNW flow there in SW Va and the border counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shocker0 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It seems like we have a little more snow than earlier but the flakes are so small they're almost invisible or mist. Like super small. Not sure if we're gonna get much more here but NWS says another 1-2" is possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed BNA said another piece of energy would come through this evening. My hourly future cast has snow moving back in from 1 to 4 am. Granted it's snowing now and it just shows cloudy for the next 5 hours here. The flakes are probably dime sized here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't snowed much at all here since last night. What little it has snowed the flakes have been almost microscopic lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Good looking slug of moisture dropping in from OH: Looks like John will be right on the western edge, so me and The CumbCo folks are probably out. Fountainguy is probably gonna get hammered by it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stovepipe Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 To my surprise, light snow has started again in southwest Knox. I figured we were done. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fountainguy is probably gonna get hammered by it. Looks like the final energy lobe will be moving in soon. Already see radar beefing up one more time across our area. This one has the best chance for accumulating outside the “prime” NW locations as it has the coldest temps to work with. Let’s get you guys some snow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellicoWx Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Radar hasn't been showing anything here, so haven't looked outside since sundown. Light snow falling now, with dusting on elevated surfaces again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light snow falling now, with dusting on elevated surfaces again. Its snowed here almost non stop for 18 hours and it's rarely shown up on radar. Granted 18 hours worth of snow has amounted to about an inch of total accumulations. So that may be why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John if you look at the radar now you can really see the downsloping effects off of the High Knob massif in Scott County. The band finally redevelops toward Kingsport a little better.

Same here..snowed most day but would melt off during any of the breaks..hill behind my house is about 150' or so higher...ground still white (little melting all day). Flakes now are small...figure DGZ is barely saturated enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really rare to see snow coming from the direction it is now. 90 percent of the time you'd see a band rolling off Lake Michigan pointed down across Northern Kentucky in a NW flow situation. It's rare to see Erie involved and see High Knob making a snow shadow to the SSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally 3 miles down the road into Erwin probably has half of what I have or even less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Lang Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Is this even nwf or is it coming more from North/northeast? Winds here are NNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something starting to notice is how this setup currently is hitting around Gatlinburg, is beginning to back to the SW..could help for mby if it can make the bend along the Blount/Monroe line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuCoVaWx Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It's finally starting to come down pretty good in Grundy. It's been on and off for a few hours. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Hot Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Moderate snow in Colonial Heights, 29 degrees, and over an inch on the ground now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just measured plenty of 3-4” marks. So we will go with 3.5. Lots of blowing around. Hopeful to hit that magic 6” mark tonight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The band from Kentucky looks like it might stay far enough west to hit the western plateau and western valley unless it pivots soon. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fountainguy97 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 This final piece looks like the best snow producer for us all. You can see our old piece pulling away and the new purple “push” of moisture rolling in. matches with Radar as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Crazy, but Kingsport has had snow all day. Normally, we don't get NW flow event snow. Ground is white this evening IMBY. Probably .5" so far. Super fine flakes coming down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The roads are getting bad here. It's a case where the snow on the road looks deeper than off the road. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
