East Tennessee Weather II

[BartW]

This weather is exactly why we still need coal plants.

TVA had coal and gas plants down because of the freezing temperature. Nuclear stayed on…

It's not about the coal, it's about control and power over the masses. It's a way to push their idea of green energy.

Boy, the roads in Morristown are not good this evening. Side roads are slick. WVLT said at 12:00 Morristown wouldn’t see anything…

The less a system is talked about it the more snow it produces. The more it's talked about nothing happens

I am so tired of this weather. Supposed to hop over the mountain to catch a flight down to Miami tomorrow afternoon. Getting nervous about being able to get over there

This is WWA level. Not impressed with how MRX has handled this.

Over-performed for sure. Was not expecting anything when watching WVLT at Noon.

I think MRX and TDOT were still on vacation based on what happened this evening

It's a difficult situation, but in hindsight, probably deserved an advisory just for the impacts. Roads are terrible with the light accumulation because of the days of sub-freezing temperatures.

Looks like most of the area performed about as expected with a band near the Knoxville area over-performing. We're talking about the difference between a few hundredths of an inch of liquid equivalent precipitation across the area with the heaviest falling right around the most populated locations in East Tennessee.

Not really any snow chances or good cold shots for East TN right now…

Eh, I think it will happen. I bet we get some snow days come February.

Not much snow in the forecast for Tennessee for January. Possibly strong storms moving thru Knoxville Thursday afternoon (4:00 mark in video) and some snow on Friday the 13th (8:45 mark in the video). Above average temps for rest of January (7:15 mark in video).

Boy, this will suck. When was the last time East TN had really no snow whatsoever during January?

 

[headhunter15]

Could be something to watch. Wherever these squalls hit could see some decent snow.

We are in the snow black hole. Rest assured they won’t hit in Knoxville.

Do you think this will expand to the north?

 

[Vol knight]

Tornado watch in effect for the southern valley until 5:00 PM.

I don't think the watch will expand northward.

Looks like this caught the weather people off guard.

Live right here off I-81 in Hamblen Co. Was trying to spot anything but it got rain-wrapped so quick.
