Jed33 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 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 February 20 Share Posted February 20 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 February 20 Share Posted February 20 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. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
