Carvers Gap Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Whichever model has low accumulations for E TN is gonna nail it. On to the clipper which might deserve its own thread if real. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker1027 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Just wow… Wind is absurd here in Chattanooga. I have a feeling we will see some ice problems and power outages. Limbs are already cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knoxtron Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Front made it up this way 41 at 11:20 24 now and pouring snow, power went out for about 30 seconds but back currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 The cold hung up majorly on the Plateau and the precip shield got back out ahead of the front. Hoping for a good dusting at this point. The cold push will eventually get here but it's dropped it's speed by 75 percent over the last three hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 The wind is just sending limbs all over the place here. Unfortunately is a strong SW wind transporting very heavy rain over my area. The GFS was very very wrong with the precip location in regards to the front. The worst performance of the models this time out, after being one of the best before. Looks like the RGEM, which was skeptical for this area as soon as it got into 84 hour range, might be the most right. The HRRR was way off too. I'm almost 30 degrees warmer than it had me as midnight approached on runs earlier today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Finally starting to turn the corner. That limb wrecking burst of wind must have been the front passing. Temp dropped 1.6 degrees in the last 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Co Vol Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Smartway cam at I-40/24 junction (213.2 mile marker) is better than watching TV. Solid sheet of ice. Cars bumping other cars and continuing to motor down the highway. I watched an 18 wheeler push several cars out of his way and keep on trucking. People are out of vehicles walking around on the interstate, pushing cars, etc. It’s some crazy stuff. I really feel sorry for those folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I assume that the snow started in the low 40s because the 850s are frigid, above the top of the Plateau and they moved faster than the surface cold. Basically all levels above 3500 feet were able to transport the cold overhead faster than the low level cold could creep through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Lang Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Radar not looking too hot now. Still wondering about that low level moisture. Any observations? Is it snowing in places where nothing is showing on radar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt does not work at these temps. 4x4 does not work on ice. Honestly it was crazy for people to be out in these conditions. It’s dangerous.
