Holston_River_Rambler Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The Bays mt band kind of reoriented this AM as the some colder air was pushed Ne and SW against the higher mts: see how the clear air is sort of stretching south of Knoxville and north of Bristol? so you briefly get the band aimed at Kingsport 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Can confirm that Kingsport got at least an inch in some spots. Bays Mountain looked like a war zone with wrecks. I had a slight dusting at my house and then nothing between my house and the state line. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holston_River_Rambler Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Getting some pretty good light snow here now, slowly getting heavier. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It seems like we have had snow in the air for several days. Last night, we still had snow on our mulch from Sunday morning. It wouldn't have taken a long to drive from Bristol yesterday to find snow completely covering the ground in the foothills. This type of stuff is what "could" follow the storm Friday/Saturday, i.e. lots of small events. If we get snow Fri/Sat, it may be very difficult to get schools back in session for a while. Keep in mind that most systems in E TN are almost out of days due to Helene. Nobody banked hurricane days! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvskelton Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 A couple quick photos I took this morning on my way into the office about 6:50am. Market Street and then Broad Street in downtown Kingsport. More just to show the conditions than for their artistic or aesthetic value. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Earlier, I took a predawn jebwalk to appreciate the snowfall and wake myself up. The atmosphere was surreal. Like the rest of yall in the eastern valley we've been seeing on and off light snow showers since the system passed through a couple days ago. It's refreshing to see persistent fields of white with how last winter played out. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Still snowing here as well. No model showed anything last night and today, the NAM 3K was giving some of us 1/2 to 1 inch or so outside the mountains for tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbald Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Has been pixie dusting snow in Wise (swva) all morning. It doesn't show up but on the most sensitive radars. More visible returns in east ky. No real snow melt up here and I don't think there will be much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grothar of Herndon Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 On/off snow showers in Clintwood this morning. Zero snow melt with these temperatures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 We’ve had flurries and snow showers all morning here in Morristown, but not really any accumulation to speak of. I had to go to Newport earlier, and it was good timing, bc I noticed early this morning that the band that sometimes sets up at the I40-I81 split had set up. It was a bit more east on 40 than I expected, but at the Cocke Jefferson Co line, they had at least 1/2-1in in spots and it was coming down! Big flakes, even trying to accumulate on the interstate in spots and the side roads were white. Unfortunately it didn’t continue on into the city of Newport, but even there they had a heavy dusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbald Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Looks like some decent returns showing up in Hawkins County moving back in to Sullivan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 There is a really nice looking band (at least on radar) in East Knox right along I40. Looks like it could really be putting down a decent accumulation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Been snowing here pretty much all day - mood flakes. Have a feeling this is just the beginning of winter. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I thought the same thing. It’s pretty much been that way here too and these are big flakes. Usually when moisture is limited, the flake size is not good, but we’ve had more nickel and even quarter sized flakes at times than I would have thought. The problem is it just doesn’t last long enough. Todays high has been 27 here after 17 this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Heading home, several areas with quarters falling through town but they were small areas. Maybe 2500 feet of big flakes and flurries on the other side. A little evaporation but no melting here. High was 25. It's been in the 20s for about 54 hours now and may not get out of them before early next week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I still go out walking when it's snowing/snowy. Light snow still falling here. Snow has fallen Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and today this week and I should get at least 3 more inches Friday and Saturday. That's an old school winter week. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlunderStorm Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It has been a decade since I have witnessed such continuous snowfall in Winter. If flurries persist into tomorrow afternoon there will not have been a clear day between the storm on the 5th and the upcoming one on the 10th. There is no rationale but the conditions feel perfect for a big one. The ground is in prime condition with primary roads intermittently turning white within moments of a modest snow shower passing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Currently 13 degrees and still snowing. Picked up just under 1/2 inch overnight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt9697 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 We have a clear sky here, and the temperature is down to 9.1. It may touch 8 something before the sun comes up, which is a testament to the ice/snow pack to my north in the Commonwealth! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It was 13 here for a low but back up to 15 now. Colder than forecast by a few degrees and 13 is my coldest so far this winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
