Been at my in laws in Luttrell installing a ductless A/C Heat unit and just got home. Roads wasn’t that bad until I got close to my house in Halls. It went from a dusting to 1.5” in a few miles. Emory Rd is a disaster. I legit had to put my Wranger in 4 wheel drive to get into my subdivision. Looks like this is going to continue for a while. Another burst is about to move into N Knox Co.

Yeah, roads are bad. Even well travelled Clinton Highway and Merchants were bad an hour ago.

I wish I would have stayed in Oak Ridge, but I had to go to my family's place to celebrate Christmas and miss out on the snow (I would have thought I would be in a good spot for a clipper in Campbell County, but not the case this time). I'm glad everyone else got to see some snow.

Good lord, this is even more concerning. I would have expected at least 50% more that way. Seriously, what's going on?

Can someone smarter than me please explain why we have so much snow in the valley? Trying to understand what's at work here. 

Clippers often over perform when they follow big cold snaps.  It also looked to me like you all caught some sort of jet max/streak(don’t know the official term) over the Central Valley.

There was definitely something that enhanced the snow up the valley. At 3pm I looked at the radar and didn’t think anything again about it. By 5pm a friend told me the roads are getting rough around our house. I looked at the Radar again and couldn’t believe it. Definitely had something that caused more lift.

Yeah, apparently a slug of moisture came from somewhere . Makes me wonder if the Valley pulled some up it from the SW , sort of like when a warm nose will shoot up it ahead of a LP.
