fountainguy97 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Clearly some form of warm nose has remained anchored over the mid-valley. Notice how that bright banding (blue which indicates melting aloft) hits a wall and changes to white across NE TN. Pretty neat to watch unfold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsty2001 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Absolutely puking snow now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestrorr Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just measured 8 inches at 3 different spots in the yard, and looks like more to come. Tellico Village, Loudon. My point forecast calling for sleet and freezing rain overnight. I don't see how that happens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Our main show is exiting over the next couple of hours. Then we have several several hours of lighter and spotty precip behind. What Ptype will it be? No one knows lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake423 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 OK here we go. Evensville tn just south of spring city. The square is on a minicooper and that is a minicooper covered in snow in the background. It's still snowing hard here. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Sitting at about 5.25" of snow. I hate it for the rest of the TRI folks who were dealing with snow/rain issues. Probably will come close to 6" of snow if these last bands work out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BhamParker Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 We are back to lighter precipitation mixed with some sleet. That was an intense hour or so where we picked up 1-2 inches. Praying for some magic tonight when temps finally drop . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those showers with the batch coming off eastern plateau are heavy and may put down a quick inch or two. I expect you to get 8-10 at least Carver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 This will be a deceptive storm on record books. Tys has I believe 3 inches as the official measurement and Tri a trace. But that won't be reflective of this storm for climate purposes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows lol We've had a cycle of massive heavy snow, to tiny grapule/sleet, bigger sleet, snow/sleet, back to massive flakes. This has repeated every 10-15 mins for a few hours it seems. Currently sleeping and 23, just shy of 8" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnEastTN Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just went on a long drive out to the Rhea/Roane county line. Spring City might get a foot. They had over 6" when I left and it was snowing about as hard as I have ever seen. I parked my truck for 20 minutes and got just under 2" on the mirrors and the toolbox.Yep I'm right across the river from Spring City and I'm measuring 9 inches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Right at 8in now! That band from Knoxville pulled right up over my area. I have literally been right on the line for the rain/sleet/snow today. Bays Mtn seems to have kept the west 1/3 of county heavy snow with little to no mixing. If I had any I don’t know when it was. Meanwhile out by I81 it was very little snow until the last hour. I think they have had about 1.5in. Such a sharp gradient in this county! I don’t ever remember seeing such a big difference in snowfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Slowed down a bit here, looks like a bit more is gonna roll through on radar. Damn near 24 hours of snowfall, can't complain at all. Got a porch fire going in the solo stove. Just gonna soak it all in. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurbus Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just went outside to shovel some snow for a path for the dogs and measured just over 9" in a few different spots. Also sitting at 23.4 degrees at the house. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Now poof... rain. 32.0. I think this is a DGZ moisture issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just measured 9 inches. Now its snowing hard in bursts like it's becoming scattered. Each round is goose feathers very hard. Workshop deck and flower pot show the scale. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Got out and rode around Knoxville for a few hours. Roads going downhill fast. Knox County doing their best to scrape/plow, but the rates were so high that their tracks were covered within seconds. UT campus isn’t much better. Saw a pile of snow that had been removed from the roads that was a good 8+ feet tall. Biggest idiot drivers - those in pickup trucks. Apparently they are invincible in regards to ANY road conditions. I had to pull over several times to let them pass me because they were riding my rear end. Second group of idiot drivers - people in Chevy and GMC SUV’s. Don’t know why it was this specific brand, but they were about as bad as the pickup trucks. Thirds group of idiots - smaller crossover SUV’s. Either I was over cautious, or they were over confident. All of them were flying around and treating the roads/conditions as just another normal day. I have drove enough off road at Windrock and Royal Blue that I respect the conditions and know how to operate my Jeep to keep it under control. And more so, I know how to react when things start going wrong. Doubt I could say the same for them. Overall…..had fun out riding around!!! Stay safe and be careful if anyone has to get out. . 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I think we have a combo of things causing the mixing. That's why it's hard to pinpoint. For my local. I'm at 2000ft. The sounding below is hrrr initialization which is off at the surface. I'm currently at 32.0. I highly doubt I'm having warm nose melting. I think rates slack and I lose moisture in the DGZ (yellow portion of the red line) as you can see with the green and red separation. also. The DGZ is super high between 550-650mb or roughly 11,000-15,000. That's HIGH. Most of the moisture is well below that. Typically it's much much lower. I think that's the smoking gun for the issues with Ptype today. Unusually high DGZ. so I think that's likely going to cause problems tonight during this final portion of the storm. outside my local in the valley I think it's a combo of the extra elevation of warmth and this that's causing issues. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
