Temperatures across northeastern TN into southwest VA are stubborn
to rise versus the modeled rate, and that may continue to be the
case overnight for areas with frozen precipitate on the ground.
Lowered temperatures and slowed the overall rise overnight across
locations that are still sub-freezing with observations from area
airports and spotters with the latest HRRR and NAM guidance.
Product wise a SPS for the relevant TN counties and an extension
in time for the winter weather advisory in southwest Virginia have
been issued. A band of light rain is crossing much of the cold
portions of the area now, but will swiftly move through.
Additional light icing is likely from this rain swath.

Meanwhile the main band of rain still lies to our west, and a few
rumbles of thunder or direct lightning bolts cannot be ruled out
as the storms have been rather persistent while crossing Middle
Tennessee. This line of primarily showers should rumble through
during the overnight hours in agreeance with the forecast and
guidance.-NWSM

Chattanooga temp is dropping during the day! That's rare as air tries to work over the Plateau. Is Hell freezing over? 

Perhaps it's just the beginning of a good winter weather pattern. I have almost forgotten what that is. Models have a buffet line the next 10-15 days if we can avoid major disappointment. My thoughts on late week are in that thread.

Woah boy, this snow band means business! Picked up half inch in 30 mins, coming down hard in the blowing winds ! Super dry snow and it's blowing off the roads/roof pretty quickly 

 

Wife's about to attempt the drive home, definitely getting ready to get the UTV out (more for fun tbh but looking for an excuse).
