Fall/Winter 22-23 General Observations

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Getting my first real taste of cold air damming here in Durham today. That N. wind is legit.

The sunrise this morning at the house was pretty cool! I took this picture at just the right time to catch a faint “sun pillar” at least that’s what we’ve always called them.

[PowellVolz]

It’s awful sunny this morning in Knoxville. Several tornado warnings this morning to our SW.

Getting some snow. Not much to speak of but in a winter like this one, every flake counts.

[1234snow]

Light rain and 37 currently.

[Knoxtron]

Lightly snowing with a good dusting, 30.6°

 

I'll take what I can get

I'm in Kingsport now and can attest to that 

[BlunderStorm]

Getting plenty of action in Honaker. Currently caught in a powerful streamer that has been crossing here on and off the past couple hours. Beautiful day sitting at 30 this afternoon with what I suspect to be an inch of snow.

[Carvers Gap]

Whew, it cold up here today.  Winch chills this afternoon have been below freezing.  It will cut right through you.  Snow has been spitting off and on.  This is my kind of January day.  

[Jed33]

22 degrees this morning at the house with one of, if not the biggest frosts I’ve ever seen! No joke, there’s probably close to 1/4in of frost in spots.  I might add that since we’ve lived out here at the lake, fog is a lot more common. I think it contributes to the frost on these colder, calm nights. However, the lake also can moderate my temp a degree or two, especially when the winds stay up, as I’m on a ridge overlooking the lake. I almost never will be able to win in a marginal setup, unfortunately. Even in town, which is about 100ft higher than me, I’ve noticed will just about always have more snow than out here. It could be 32 even at the front of the neighborhood with snow and 33 and rain here. I guess the trade off is a beautiful view of the lake and mtns. 

[BlunderStorm]

 It was a nice cool day, most of the snow aside from the north slopes has melted. Should be interesting to see how round 2 plays out on Thursday.

[John1122]

Didn't expect it, but getting heavy sleet/snow mixed. Likely will change to rain shortly. 

[John1122]

Another wave of moderate sleet as the precip is moving back into my area. 36 degrees.

[Carvers Gap]

Nice moderate to heavy sleet band in wester Sullivan Co just a few minutes ago.  If modeling is correct, those bands continue for a few more hours.

[Knoxtron]

Started snowing last night around 8PM, woke up to a half inch of snow. Currently sleeting at 30.6°

If you can't beat em, join 'em...

Here is the afternoon disco from Memphis(modeling trending colder there):

Current forecast remains on track for tonight as showers and
possible a few embedded storms move into the Mid South. We can
expect this rain to continue overnight and through most of the day
Sunday especially east of the Mississippi River. Drier conditions
can be expected late Sunday through most of Monday...then all eyes
go to Tuesday. Primary forecast concern becomes a multi- episodic
icing potential for late Monday night through Thursday. Guidance
still remains adamant that this will be a Freezing Rain/Sleet
event.Rain will develop Monday evening, in association with a low
amplitude shortwave passage, and aided by increasing PWAT values.
The big question in this event is where exactly does the freezing
line set up and how deep/shallow the cold air will be over the
region. Latest guidance has trended colder and further south with
the cold air and expanded the area of possible ice accumulations.
Guidance still has the most likely area of icing just along and
north of I-40, but Memphis metro needs to pay attention as the
guidance seems to be trending cooler further south. Right now the
probabilities of seeing a 0.10 inch of ice across a large portion
of the area is 30 to 60 percent Tuesday. It is too early to try
an pin down accumulations and locations as this is still very much
in flux being 3 to 4 days out, but ice accumulations up to a
quarter inch are possible in portions of the Mid South during the
Tuesday- Thursday timeframe. Please stay tuned to the changes in
the forecast going into next week.

Halo around the moon tonight. Remember when that meant snow in winter?

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Absolutely pouring rain this AM. RadarScope’s hydro meteor classification even popped a few pixels of hail heading my way. 

[Icy Hot]

Frosty, clear and 26 this morning in Kingsport!

[*Flash*]

Yeah, yeah, I wish this was all snow...and yeah, we didn't get hit as hard as Texas/Arkansas...but 3 waves of ice in 3 days still made for a memorable week...

Red moon rising to the SE here in Morgan County:

 

 

What is the old wives' tale? Red moon in evening, sting jet be screamin' ? 

[John1122]

Over 4 inches of rain today, in two heavy heavy bursts, has pretty bad flooding ongoing. My driveway washed out again and County crews are working on the bridge by my house again. 

[Knoxtron]

Getting heavy snow atm, 31°

 

Wondering if this is the last we see for the season

[jaxjagman]

We got some flakes flying in with the mist

[Daniel Boone]

Getting mod/heavy Snowshowers now.
