BhamParker Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Nice flurries here tonight as well. It has snowed off and on all day today. Hate that I can’t stay for round 2 on Thursday and Friday. Thankful to be only 5 hours away and get to live like yall do once or twice a year in the winter. . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Interesting satellite imagery this afternoon. Not quite clear enough to see the snow cut off line yet, but some of the features we have talked about before, especially some leeside convergence I have outlined in magenta the approximate outline of Frozen Head/ Cross mt and High Knob. Outside the Smokies, these are the highest mountains in our area. To the lee side (downwind of the topography) you can see low level wind convergence producing plumes of clouds, what I've pointed black arrows at. They almost look like litt;e funnels on Infrared imagery. Because this is only a 2D image, I can't tell if the spreading out is lift, the mountains blocking the flow, or a combo of the two. Here's a gif so you can see it in motion: Also notice how the Smokies kind of shunt the flow toward lower peaks on either side. Finally, even though eastern areas haven't cleared out yet, here is an absolutely gorgeous mesoscale floater look at the TN Valley: Great post as always….IMO this is the biggest reason why the Central Valley doesn’t have more tornadoes when you have cells traveling SW-NE. A south to SE low level wind gets disrupted because of the southern valley mountains. It’s why I’ve said before that cells moving east or SE has more of an opportunity to rotate because NE low level winds give you enough degree of intercept. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It's still flurrying here. I think the DGZ is around 2000ft this afternoon. It’s snowing really good up on Beach Mt ski resort. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 My brother in Hixson looks like he ended up with a few inches. He's not the weather enthusiast I am so he didn't actually measure. Just sent me a picture of his back deck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnEastTN Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 -2 and power just went out, gonna be a fun morning Ouch not good! I've just fallen below zero now. Being by the river I think tends to keep my spot a little warmer, if 0 is warm. Probably fall a few more degrees at least before sunrise, so probably low of -3 for me. PWS in my area away from the river are colder -4 to -8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still going down, right now down to -9.9 coldest I have recorded been here since April 1997; as a kid I can recall the record cold of 1985 where Nashville bottomed out @ -17 a record that still stands to this day 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Bottomed out at -1 here it looks like. There’s been off and on high clouds and a slight breeze that has kept us from really tanking here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
