I thought the same thing! And that was even as I took the garbage out.

Yes! I don't know how to describe it but it smells like snow, not figuratively, but my family always told me I was crazy there was no such thing lol.

To me it smells like a heated up dryer sheet.

@Holston_River_Rambler here’s the GRAF. Something i didn’t notice is how fast this system is moving. Looks like about 10 to 12 hours of precipitation for Knox….

@Carvers Gapi still can’t get tweets to work for me. What part of that address do I need to change? I took X out and put Twitter in.

Hrrr and nam finally seeing the significance of the ULL passage.  In my experience when you see NW events with moisture into the 700mb layer it typically ends up being a pretty significant event.

 

3km nam has 20-30knt of 850 flow and temps in the teens during these frames.  It would stack on quickly.

Areas west of the valley cash in tmrw morning.  Don't get frustrated when tmrw the valley and points east struggle with precip and downslope issues. 

our show comes as the flow backs and that Vort swings through.IMG_2071.thumb.png.7678393e1ab206f58c8b35f3b5493a0c.png

John getting blanked by that crap model. Yeah, right, lol.

I’m just having a hard time seeing what’s going on out west, knowing temps are not an issue, at least for 40 and north, seeing we have ok saturation throughout the column and trying to believe this system is only gonna spit out .10 to .20 at the most? I know the system about a month ago was generally a 2”-4” snow in the valley but how often do you see a decent slider with a backside wave with potential high ratios and we only get an inch or two? Outside of NW flow events, how often do we see 1” of snow in the valley? Typically it’s all or nothing here, a flizzard or 6”. Ok… soapbox over.

Really hoping the mods are over doing the downsloping into the valley. It would really help me if the flow was more W to E. That would give my area a little more time to allow lift to kick back in. NW to SE is a killer for my area. 
Same here if the direction is more westerly I can actually get flow snow. WNW works for me but NW doesn't I think because with NW I'm in the shadow of Hinch Mountain the highest point in Cumberland County, I am due SE of it by about 10 miles. If the flow is more westerly that shadow shifts north of me just enough. Even NNW I tend to get some flow snow but not as good as WNW.

Something really feels off to me about this storm. Start time for most will be during the coldest part of the day, my ground has been frozen the last few mornings and shaded areas have remained frozen solid even during the day. Last night I was forecast low of 29 but got to 25. Something just feels off about MRX forecast feels almost too cautious. At least for my area which is northern edge of the southern valley. My area also Sweetwater and Madisonville even Athens don't always fit "southern valley" forecasts like Chatty and Cleveland for instance.

I will say this on obs and it may not mean anything on the downstream effect. Areas of Missouri that reported an inch on the ground at 10:30 their time, 11:30 est, are shown on the 12z Euro as being under an inch at 1:00pm est. Joplin Missouri has gotten 4 inches from what I can tell and currently has heavy snow and 11. Per the 12z Euro they should be at .9 inches as of 1pm.

It makes you wonder if the Euro is not getting the Data from some area's. Why does it continue under forecasting Precip amounts.?.

I don't know, but it looks like the GFS is also running behind on totals in similar fashion in that area. The Euro gives Joplin area around 7 inches total. NWS is forecasting up to 14 inches there currently.

With Atmospheric Tools available it just doesn't add up to why they're that far off.

I guess all we can do is hope a small fraction of that can translate downstream.

so what you are saying is we are guaranteed to get double what the mods are saying……
