Not always! I will say that it's snowed more this week from random NW energy bits than it has from this system so far.

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!

Or when Tennessee is down 40 to Florida in the first half and I go to the garage to work on my golf swing. lol…

[AMZ8990]

Right at 8 inches here in bolivar,  sounds like to the north In Jackson picked up only around 3-4”.  I40 south seemed to be the hot spot in west  tn.

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.

This is what I anticipate happens when the backside rotates through. My only issue is it might (looking at radar trends) scoot just NW of the valley.

Yep…looks like we are going to miss that on radar.  Will be disappointing for sure if this is all we get

Stopped in Mascot, looks like the warm nose on radar. Future shows it picking back up and heavy in an hour or two.

Mesoscale Discussion 0032
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0330 PM CST Fri Jan 10 2025

   Areas affected...northern Georgia...eastern Tennessee...far western
   South Carolina...western North Carolina

   Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation 

   Valid 102130Z - 110030Z

   SUMMARY...Areas of moderate to heavy snowfall along the high terrain
   and mixed precipitation likely in the afternoon/evening across
   portions of east TN/north GA and western SC/NC.

   DISCUSSION...A broad region of heavy precipitation continues to
   shift northward across northern Alabama into eastern
   Tennessee/northern Georgia beneath enhanced mid-level flow and
   forcing from an upper-level trough. This precipitation shield will
   continue to lift north and eastward this evening, bringing an
   increase in the precipitation rates across the region, extending
   into western North Carolina through time. Moderate to heavy snowfall
   will be possible (with occasional 1" hr rates) across the southern
   Appalachian Mountains in eastern Tennessee. Further south across
   northern Georgia into the western Carolinas, profiles will continue
   to support additional accumulations of freezing rain. NAM/RAP
   sounding analysis across northern Georgia into South Carolina show a
   warm nose at 850 mb with surface observations indicating
   temperatures remain in the upper 20s to 30s. Occasionally, mixed
   precipitation/sleet will be possible.

The enhanced echoes coming off the plateau are over me now. Sleet and freezing rain. 

[Scottie16]

Freezing rain Sweetwater

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Looks like some of those echoes I mentioned above are approaching @John1122. I bet he stays snow. 

[John1122]

It's all snow for now. Tiny dime sized flakes but a lot of them. My temperature actually went down some. I had made it to 27 but it's back to 26 now.

[PowellVolz]

The precipitation in southern MTn is starting to regenerate some. The dry slot at my house has filled back in

[Vol4Life]

Precip here in West Knox just started back up…it is light freezing drizzle/sleet

Two bluebirds have given up and snuggled into an eve on my deck ceiling:

Yup. Very tiny drops falling fast here. Deck already an ice ring where I cleaned off a spot. Nasty at 28 degrees.

Area stretching back to Nashville filled in and has heavier bands . Looks to be heading across your area up into mine. Also that back system appears to be sliding ese and looking healthy. If stays together we still may wind up with several inches.

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 have phased better. As is , it's causing clusters in between the two and leaving voids.

Yeah more than 3 hours in dry slot. Battle line between the two systems ain’t a good place to be! lol!

[ShawnEastTN]

Now I'm getting Freezing rain and sleet mixed.  Still 27 degrees.  This has been nice at least while it snowed today but this storm doesn't scratch the winter storm itch for me.

[Wurbus]

Same for me as well. I have a nice light freezing rain at 27 degrees

[PowellVolz]

Kinda surprised… NWS updated my forecast saying 1-3” the rest of the day with an additional 1-2” tonight before midnight. 

[1234snow]

Just measured 1” here.

[Vol4Life]

Yes…this has been a disappointment for sure.  So much promise, but ultimately dry slots and WAA kept this from being special in much of East TN

Yeah and I did well just hoped for all day snow and no warm nose.

[ShawnEastTN]

Already compacting snow a bit with freezing rain and sleet topped off at 5.5, but now measure 4". My back yard and woods before it compacts down to a layer of concrete/ice.

[WishingForWarmWeather]

Literally the biggest snow flakes I’ve ever seen in my entire life falling for the past 20 minutes after really fine snow for a few hours. Clarksville TN. 

[Runman292]

It has changed from snow to freezing rain in Oak Ridge. The roads are snow and ice covered.

It’s stretching all the way to Ala/Tenn line now and filling in. 

[WinterWonderland]

This dry slot stuff confuses the crap out of me when the radar is showing snow.
