Jed33 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Had to get some sleep, but just woke up to see the ground turning white and snowing at a pretty good rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 One of the heaviest bands of the night is about to reach me by the look on the radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsty2001 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 At this point I'm kind of surprised MRX is gonna fall on this sword, it looks like (judging from radar) this is going to continue for a good few more hours, they had me at .5-1" and we've already passed that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Wow half dollars pouring from the sky. 32.0 on the dot. Roads covered instantly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Since 1 the snow has been falling up this way. Closing in on 3 inches thus far! At this rate it will be the biggest winter event so far for the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMinnWx Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Woke up and there’s some snow on the ground. Still falling. Down to 31 and DP 31. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Moderate snow coming down now pretty good. Quarter sized flakes. Had apparently been in a lul for awhile as we just couldn’t get any heavy returns to pass overhead. At this rate maybe we will make it to an inch, but just not really sure.

I wonder if you were downsloped in the same way that NE areas were expected to be downsloped. Cross Mtn/Frozenhead runs similarly from SW to NE.

Coach B Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'm sure I had a bit of melting/compaction overnight, but I ended up with right at 2" this morning. Fantastic little event for many of us. Sounds like the models were spot on with the finger of slightly heavier accums back into southern middle TN and for the Plateau. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the dreaded S winds as the sun set up here last night. It did feel a little colder than last night though. The downslope could have been a part of it, but I suspect it was a boundary layer warm nose that was banking up against the plateau. I know that sounds weird, but the Hi Res models were showing me just barely on the edge of it. NAM 3km (just as an example of what I was worried about): Just heard on the News a report of 4 inches in Wartburg. I may drive up that way later this AM to see where the line ended up being.

Holston_River_Rambler Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Looks like I was upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning overnight. That's probably the real culprit, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMinnWx Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Snowing pretty hard here. Ground is covered. Seems like a very wet snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 This was a flop for me. The radar is dying and I am at at maybe .2 of an inch of wet slop on the grass. I do not think I had snow fall without rain mixed in at any time throughout the night. Congrats to all who saw snow. It would be a miracle if we could get a good general snow for the whole area like i remember as a child. Growing up it happened quite often. It now seems like such an extremely rare event.

I-75 was virtually impassable at mm 130 with nothing at 129, which is Rocky Top. That's been a snow line for a ton of similar storms in my life. You may have solved the why for me with that post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fountainguy97 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 2.5knches on the board this morning. Surprised! Beautiful heavy snow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Nasty Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 All we managed in Ooltewah was a dusting. The ground was white but not completely covered. These pics are from Signal Mtn, not Ooltewah. The only snow now is spotty in yards and a few rooftops and cars. Almost 1 year to the day of last years February 8th surprise 3-4" we managed to get. That was a heavy, wet snow and by 1pm it was completely gone. Hopefully this little dusting is a precursor for bigger things down the road. Congrats to everyone outside the Chattanooga area who got snow. My son-in-law sent me these pictures from his Signal Mtn home a few minutes ago. Looks like they managed a little over 1". I edited to add the 2 pitiful pictures I just took at our house to show how snow starved we are. . This is all that remains here.
