Dsty2001 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I don't believe the radar is picking up all of the snow, seeing areas reporting snow where there is a hole in the radar? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what the white stands for? I was noticing a lot of that as the system first started entering Knox Co. . White is above the value of 1 and I think can be considered untrustworthy. Basically an error. Uniform sized precip like all rain or all snow will be right around the value of 1. Any reduction in the value is a sign of different sized and shaped objects in the sky. Which is why we see the mixing line so well today. Also useful tracking tornadoes. Debris will show up as a very low value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest NAM km, HRRR probably pretty on track with 1''-2.5'' for Maryville, East Knox, Jefferson City, Blaine, Morristown up through Greeneville and Johnson City. Warm nose really overperforming with rain to start at first for most in the central and NE valley. Wrap around moisture could provide a light dusting of an inch overnight. This is one of the most difficult systems I've ever seen. Really sad day for those in East tn who wanted snow Oh well. I'm still happy with how the last system performed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOLtage Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Seems like the best chance for snow in the valley will be on the backside of the low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I've been getting off and on again decent snow showers, some of it not picked up by radar. I may be around 2 inches. My rates are much better than what’s being shown on radar. Maybe the DGZ is below the radar?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Knoxville zig-zag heartburn update.. Should only last another hour. Hard to see Knox radar but Hytop shows better CC trends. Line is finally dropping south on the Plateau. Should translate east. Remember this is not an elevation problem. It's the storm track. Can't promise anything south of there, but Knoxville should barely hold on snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was headed for glory and 6+ if not for that. That's what happened here, the first hour was super heavy and then it trailed off. Except on the radar it still looked heavy even though it was light, small flakes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stovepipe Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Have to say, MRX nailed this so far for my location. Rain and snow until 4pm, then snow, 1 to 2 inches. Seems legit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stovepipe Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Ground is whitening up some, temp down to 32. CC would suggest rain or mix but I'm all moderate snow. Maybe the slop is done? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, have a had a north wind since the big snow burst an hour or so ago. Tiny flakes been falling steady here since then. Not really adding up a whole lot, but still have a solid dusting. Just hit 32 a few minutes ago after hanging at 33 for a while. Hopeful I can score at least 2 or 3 out of this event. In Knox, a few miles north of 40 and downtown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Temperature is falling, down to 28. Rates are picking up, as is flake size. The hole on the radar filled in nicely. Hoping for 3 or 4 more hours of this. 3 inches so far. Only added 1/2 inch in the last hour after adding 1.25 per hour the first two hours.

brewman22001 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 We’ve got nothing but a wet ground in Lenoir city. An ugly 34 degree rain is what we ended up with. Mother Nature owes me one big time lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurbus Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Been insanely busy with work today, but quick update from my location between Karns & Cedar Bluff. I have stayed all snow since it started around 1. We had a heavy burst of now for about 15 minutes earlier that turned the grass white. Then it stopped for about 10 minutes and has been a flurry/light snow since about 2pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally live a few hundred feet from I-40 in east Knoxville....I've had mostly snow and sleet with little rain mixed in throughout the day...just not heavy enough rates to accumulate. The current changeover to snow is now getting the top of the grass white and I'm down to 34 degrees as well. So, I'm thinking I might be snow only for the duration of the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
