Jed33 Posted Thursday at 03:48 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:48 PM 7 minutes ago, Carvers Gap said: We received 2" more of snow overnight for a total of 3". Wind chills are 5F right now. The much anticipated northwest flow event actually was led off by a strong band of heavy snow. It did not disappoint IMBY. I got up this morning and watched it for a bit. This image is of the initial line of snow as it began to move through TRI earlier today. We probably ended up 3.5 total...1.5 yesterday plus the 2 overnight. I have 3" of snow right now on my usual measuring spots. I wondered how it was up that way. My house is on the southern end of that band SW of Rogersville. It was absolutely ripping between 5-6 this morning. I was like a kid watching it myself. Fun times! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That line of snow that was moving through moved incredibly slow. Something had to be "backing it up." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was absolutely ripping between 5-6 this morning. I was like a kid watching it myself. Fun times! Yeah, it cut loose here. The 6hr loops on modeling didn't show that line. But I looked at some 1hr incremental loops, and it had a light reflection of the line that was to come through. I think Holston is on to something w/ the lee side. Original modeling (many, many runs ago) had a lee side develop and back flow over NE TN. It kind of disappeared on modeling during the last 24-48 hours. In reality, that is exactly what occurred. This was a complex system to model. I normally don't like waiting for a second thump of snow as it doesn't usually work out, but this turned out to be a pretty accurate 1-2 punch. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted Thursday at 05:04 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:04 PM Got 1.2 inches of new snow from this, 4.8 total. The RGEM pretty much hit this one almost spot on. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8283 El Nino Baby Posted Thursday at 07:01 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:01 PM Ended up getting nearly 4.5 inches today and it just started snowing again. It seems like the main event is a let down more often then not and then the less advertised post event NW flow delivers. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
