BlunderStorm Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Weighing in at an average of 6 inches in the yard maybe 6.5 on the tile I measure on. Wow! And still more to go! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 1 hour ago, Math/Met said: I think you are correct about this. It wasn’t downslope in my opinion (at least not in my area). Some models had a hint of a meso- low on this side of the mountains. It wasn’t much, but even a short lull can make a significant difference when rates are high. I was watching for downslope traits, and didn't see them. I was up late when it changed over, and that dry pocket came through. There was seemingly a small bit of rotation to it. Kind of cool and was kind of not! LOL. It almost looked like that slipped over the apps into NE TN and then headed for SW VA...and it keep moving which is why it didn't really seem like a downslope deal. Very dynamic storm to pull something like that off! Glad you got some snow over that way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Had another streamer around 11am that added 1/2 inch. 11 total now. Figured it was over around 8. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 This is easily our best storm of the season in west Kingsport. Probably between 4.5-5" of snow here at the house and a solid 5" of snow on the groomed surfaces of the golf course. Sledding is good today. I have almost enjoyed these snow bands as much as the storm itself. Going to be COLD tonight!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when we hit 63 on Monday...it is going to continue its journey along the water cycle after being in suspended animation today while on the ground. Springs snows rarely last long due to the sun's angle. Tonight, it should help lows get Into the low teens and/or single digits depending on location. Easily the most wintery day of the year IMBY...and it is March. Wind is howling, ice cycles are hanging from the house, snow squalls moving through, sun shining, and wind chills in the low teens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the biggest snow ever, but just about ideal avoiding temp issues, energy transfers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah really. They definitely won't own it. Their 3-4" forecast for here was less than half of received. What gets me is, with Model trends, Radar and upstream reports it was obvious as of early last evening this would be a major Snow event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I think this is still relevant to the storm thread. Temps and wind chills tonight are going to be maybe the coldest of the season or close to it. From MRX Discussion: Will likely see some snow showers lingering into the evening hours over the TN mountains and also northeast TN and southwest VA. Still have winter headlines out for these areas, but all of them expire at 00z. This seems reasonable for northern areas but may be perhaps a couple of hours too long in the south. At this point in the event though, this is splitting hairs though as no further significant snow accumulations are expected in any of these areas. Otherwise, temperatures will be the big story for the remainder of the short term. Trended overnight lows towards a mix of the GFS and Canadian with a little NBM 25th percentile mixed in. Given the snow pack across the valley, and the expected light winds late tonight as high pressure builds into the region, it seems more than plausible that some single digit lows will be seen tonight. One factor that could wind up making this a mistake is that winds will remain elevated through the evening and perhaps first part of the overnight hours. But guidance indicates high pressure will build in from the southwest after midnight tonight which will force winds to become light in the valley and should allow temperatures to plummet. Related to overnight lows, wind chill values will be very low at higher elevations beginning this afteroon and lasting through the overnight hours. A few locations above 3,000 ft have already seen wind chills near zero this afternoon, but beginning around 22z we should see these locations begin to see wind chills dipping to between -5 and -15 degrees. Will go ahead with a wind chill advisory to account for this. Low level flow turns around out of the south tomorrow, resulting in highs climbing into the mid 40s to low 50s and alleviating any remaining hazardous road conditions and melting any snow left. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
