East Tennessee Weather II

[VolInNorthCack]

I don't remember what year it was, but it hit -24 in Greenback one year in the 80's. Possibly 85, but I feel like it was before that.

All-time Records for Various Middle Tennessee Locations

This is for Middle Tennessee. Looks like most record lows were in 1985. Woodbury has the lowest recorded temperature at -28.

Pretty interesting from James Spann.

I wasn’t born yet. What was the coldest you remember January 1985 being and where?

That month brought the all time record cold temperature for Knoxville on January 21 at -24°F. I believe it was the coldest, or one of the coldest observation sites in the country that day. Also had 14.2" of snow in January 1985.

No. I just remember it being too cold to go outside and the power went out. We had like 3 kerosene heaters going, and a constant fire in the fireplace for two or three days lol

Will be interesting to see if this holds.

Is it holding?

Models are all over the place right now. It does look like an active pattern is coming to the east. Hope it slides south east.

I like that they’re going ahead and admitting no snow in Knoxville.

Honestly, I am going to expect rain until I see snow.

If this thing blows up like it has potential to do, we will see heavy accumulating snow From Northern Louisiana, to Atlanta all the way up to PA....including here. Check out hour 120 on the 12z EURO model showing cyclogenesus around Mobile. Long ways out though and a lot will change between now and then, but someone.....maybe us, maybe somewhere near us will get a crippling snowfall out of this one it looks like.

It looks interesting but after the last “sure thing” I’ll believe it when I see it.

I’m with you, but I’m like a big kid when it comes to snow events! Got it from my grandfather.

This is one of those where we may not know until 24 hours or even less out. It does look like western NC is gonna get hammered either way.

It’s going to be too warm in Knoxville.

Looks that way right now on the GFS. Things can change though, we'll see.

@VolNExile get ready!

I know! One of my forecast sites says 3.6” Saturday night; 8.3” Sunday. I’m wondering what they know that no other site knows.
