BuCoVaWx Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Coming down pretty hard at the moment. We have picked up at least an inch maybe more since it began. Roads are deteriorating quickly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Dry slot over I-75 southeast Tenn. CHA-TYS at this moment. Late afternoon break or end of storm? Looks like it wants to fill in again west, and/or sink south from the Nashville shear band. Trouble is a lack of middle level clouds (upstream). We need a deeper cloud deck to produce snow. Clouds won't have to be as deep as before, but we need more than what's incoming. Might even be a break north of I-40 east of the Plateau but that area has a better chance of refilling. It's still snowing in Nashville. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still snowing in Nashville. After the dryslot between CHA and TYS, it’s been all rain/freezing rain now for about 2 hours. It’s 27 in Signal but it’s raining…and I’d have to assume freezing. Storm hasn’t been the same, and no snow, since the dry a lot.Total of 5” so far.How do clouds help snow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwoodian Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Snowing again in Signal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 We needed much thicker multi-layered clouds like this morning @midwoodian behind the dry slot to get it to change back to snow. Most of the afternoon junk fell from a layer of lower clouds, below the snow production zone. The other storm thread (whopper) has a good discussion of this matter pages 13-14. DGZ dendrite growth zone, and an MRX discussion. Thankfully we got a good snow before the ice to dry slot. If you're getting snow this evening on Signal it's probably the ol' Signal microclimate. It's 33 and drizzle in town. I'm signing off for the night. Cheers to all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Just measured in several places in my yard and even with the round of freezing rain and compaction it caused I have 4 and 1/4 inches. I say that the storm was, as forcast in my area. It was the low end of 4 to 6 but never the less a good forcast, right down to possible warm nose reaching to the 1-40 corridor. Thanks to everyone that prayed in regards to my surgery. God"s peace to me is never more evident than on a snowy walk with everything covered and white. Even with the surgery I went for that walk tonight. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
