That is a suprise.  We are very close.  I am just shy of 4 inches and it is still coming down even though it has gotten lighter.

One encouraging thing for those of us north of 40 is if you look at the HTX radar Correlation coefficient the change over line has now stalled a bit, oriented wsw to ene from just north of Shelbyville to around crossville.

Ok folks, it's time to start looking around the 19th or 20th for some cold and snow. You're all allowed 2 days off after everyone wraps up their current snow, and then we move on to the next storm!

Southern snows are super hard to predict. With all the knowledgeable people on here, from pros to high thinking amateurs, I'll grade everyone out to a solid "A".

Local tv Mets are usually conservative, as they should be. I will grade our Chattanooga tv Mets out at a solid A-.

nrgJeff gets a solid "A," leaning towards an A+. Great discussions from everyone! Carver, Holston, John, Tellico, and the rest, great job!

Chattanooga area to Knoxville was the place to be for this one in the east. The heavy precip oriented perfectly and you avoided the big dry slot that rolled up out of Alabama along the Plateau above Crossville.

[nrgjeff]

Yes I got 5-6 inches measured in three places while it was still rippin quarters and some half dollars. When it stopped it settled about an inch. Then the sleet really beat it down. Glad we got out at peak snow rates, just down the street.

Last hour fine pixie dust at best. Seems to be dry air working as the moisture streams fade out as they come north. 

2" so far but hoping moisture can overcome the dry air and we get back in to potato flakes

At least that front runner band dumped you a couple inches. The heavy precip to our South is not being pulled North. The System to our NW is slowly dropping SE and is consolidating moisture west of here up into it. We needed a stronger phase of the two. Or the NW System been a little faster so they could of phased better. As is , it's causing clusters in between the two and leaving voids.

Completely different topic, I need a new weather station….. recommendations?

So Glad it worked out for you guys in Chatt. town.  I use to live in Cleveland and it was always amazing how many times we would get a good snow and Chattanooga would get blanked.

I'm surprised too. It's been cold and snowing all day, but not accumulating as I expected. With that said. I'm hoping the heavier returns I'm seeing will continue. Currently 28 degrees. I live at one of the highest elevations, and we usually see a little more accumulation than elsewhere in town.

Sleet and freezing rain mixture Northwest of Crossville

We have now cut off.  Hope we can get that other 1 to 4.  

[Wurbus]

I just measured a little over 2 inches in several spots. I'm reduced to a fine pixie dust at the moment. Been sitting at 26 degrees for several hours now.

[PowellVolz]

Are you sleet/FRZ yet @Reb?

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Changed over here in southern Morgan County to sleet/ zr

I have just a touch under 2 in my location in Oak Ridge.

[Wurbus]

dry slot moving up through Knoxville now

[PowellVolz]

I still believe when the backside rotates through, it’s gonna squeeze everything out as the 850’s crash. I’m getting dry slotted on radar but I’ve got moderate snow still falling. 

[Holston_River_Rambler]

There is a fog this rolling in with Feb warm nose. Still have quite a bit of small snowflakes mixed in though.

Oof

Back to snow suddenly NW of Crossville and heavier than it has been today.

[Icy Hot]

lol. You guys talking about moving on to the next storm! Now I know how folks out west feel on election night when the media starts saying it’s basically over and there are still several hours left to vote. Those of us in the TRI area have several hours of snow left and we are going to make it count.  Perhaps wishful thinking.  Oh and it’s ripping here right now - finally!

I was wondering about those bands on radar. 

[bearman]

I wobbled out of my surgery recliner and measured in our yard in a few places and the official measured total at my home was 3 1/4 inches so my eyes were a little off.

[Jed33]

Just hit the 1in mark at the house.

[jaxjagman]

About over for us other than some flakes and maybe a brief shower

[Stovepipe]

I'm at 2 inches in Halls with the dry slot fine flakes.  The current HRRR suggests that some pretty good intensification is on the way, hopefully in the form of pure snow.

I know.  I'm still working on trying to get to a half inch...... lol  

[tnweathernut]

Point and click took me down to 1-2".    Probably means Hurricane is looking for his bathing suit.  lol

[John1122]

Looks like the precip is maybe pivoting in a way that the mid-valley dry slot won't quite get here. I've already had two today, I can live without round 3.
