Looks like solid returns until 7 or 8 with lighter backend stuff until around midnight. Someone is going to score a foot, right? Especially if this thing can back build a bit as it moves out into the night. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsty2001 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 This is definitely the most bipolar snow storm I've seen, it'll mix for 30 minutes followed by moderate to heavy snow then back again. Hopefully the rates help cool the atmosphere and keep it all snow towards the latter part of the day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually fairly proud of north Knox as I did not see anyone doing donuts in the road or parking lots yet. Although, for some reason quite a few people stop obeying traffic lights and stop signs in this mess. Yeah buddy, your diesel truck is cool, but you still need to stop at the red light. Anyway, very happy to get a pasting in this area. Might be a 20 year storm before it's over. Yeah getting a lot of 4 inch reports from friends here in the central valley. At the rate it's falling, seems 8 is obtainable total. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowellVolz Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 How long is this suppose to last in Knoxville Area? The moisture feed goes all the way back to Tx/La border. The bigger question is when does the whole feed start to shift SE. As long as @John1122 and our friend on the northern Plateau continues to see snow we are fine in the valley. Like John just said…. The radar doesn’t look great NW of Knoxville but the snow is there. It’s colder to the NW of Knoxville so the DGZ is lower and that area is in a radar dead zone. The radar is likely shooting over the top of the snow. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnweathernut Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Changed over to rain currently in/around Gray and Boones Creek. Still snowing at the office in Erwin, but there's definitely a battle going on upstairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Looks safe to say WVLTs 2-3" accumulation for me and Knoxville is a complete bust, especially since most in that 2-3" forecast still have about 10 to 12 hours of snowfall to go. Really surprised they downplayed this event so much when they surely saw guidance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Nasty Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Congrats on everyone getting a good one! North Hamilton County is doing very well. Southern Hamilton, not so much. We just can't keep a steady snow. The start/stop of the snow is making very hard Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radar looked ragged/light but it's very small flakes/pixie dust and it snowed 1.5 inches in about an hour and 30 minutes from 10ish to 11:30. We had been in an extended break before then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably knew it was gonna bust high, but there was probably some one in management that told them what they HAD to say. Either that…..or they are just plain ignorant!!!!. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BhamParker Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It’s just not accumulating much here for the most part. I’d expect the evening and overnight hours to really deteriorate once we lose the sun and temps drop. The mountains usually squeeze out every ounce of moisture the atmosphere has before the system exits. Moisture returns look incredible downstream. We just need to get well below 32 degrees. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricaneguy Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The rain washed away our progress but we are back to big flakes in Greeneville. If we could keep the majority snow until the system moves we still have time to rebound to 3-4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-26 is awful from John B to Eastern Star and then it flipped to heavy mix and then rain by Gray. Main snow axis appear to be just to the left of I-81. Colonial Heights should be getting blitzed. Has changed back to moderate to heavy snow now at Gray. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocksterdanza Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 3.5 here in loudon county. According to Aldridge, we could see 4-6 more. It hasn’t stopped since 8 this morning. Think it’s possible pull that much more? We have not seen the mix as of yet as we are at 28.8.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 On my excursion to Food City I saw one guy that made me proud. He was in a little late 80s Ford Ranger, loaded down with miscellaneous stuff in the back with CHAINS on the rear tires. My dude was also obeying the stop signs and traffic lights. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowellVolz Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I think us north of Knoxville is transitioning to higher ratio snow. The radar looks about the same but the flake size is smaller but the intensity has picked up. Hopefully this continues SE towards @Reb . . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas Lang Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Goodness, just running the eye ball test and I swear, we are going to be at 6 before too long. As an unofficial measurement tool, I placed random beers throughout the yard. I can only see the very top now. Going to have a beer hunt tonight. lol Will go out and measure officially here shortly. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
