Looking good for some snow and I can’t wait

I don't have to go to work if it snows.


Even if I had to work, that little kid in me still loves snow. The serenity and calmness when it's falling is awesome.

Not a forecast but it's hard to tell with these systems on who will get the heaviest pockets. Some of these totals included melted snow on contact and sleet. APT is increasing with moisture every run.

NAM model is telling a similar story.

This is going to be hitting at basically commute time in East Tn. Going to be alot of wrecks.

I'm starting to think that the winter storm watch is being issued more for the timing of the snow than the actual amounts. With the transition likely happening during the busiest time of the morning commute, there will likely be a good amount of wrecks. With them issuing a Winter Storm Watch over an Advisory, it will get more people's attention. Regardless of how much snow we see, there's a really good chance for hazardous travel conditions for most if not all of East TN.

I have to go to work even if there's a foot of snow. Not a fan of snow, but I understand your point

What time is it supposed to hit?

What time is it supposed to hit?

Start time is still subject to change, but as of right now, I'd say between 3-5 am for the Plateau, 5-7 am for the Valley, and 7-9 am for the Mountains.

Go to work in it, work outside in it, etc etc. This one the snow isn't bothering me so much, it's going to be the cold to go along with it. The cold will kill people. Snow just makes us busier than normal. (Usually at first, then it calms down over time)

Side note: it seems like it never fails when we have an extended power outage someone messes up and gets carbon monoxide poisoning from generators.

If you are going to work or anywhere else Tuesday morning, I would highly recommend that you take it slow on the roads and give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination.

Yea hopefully this system hits more before everyone gets up. Like 3-5am for the valley.

Just for clarification, those are purely start times. That's not the duration of the event.

Yea I know. I'm saying I hope it starts before everyone is on the roads heading to work. Or even worse everyone at work before it starts.

As much as I love cold, I'm thankful that I don't live in the upper midwest. Here is the forecast for International Falls, MN:

Update:

In their latest Area Forecast Discussion, Morristown will be changing the Winter Storm Watches to Advisories in the Plateau and Valley, and Warning in the Smokies. They are leaning towards 2-3 inches for most of East TN, with the Mountains getting 3-6 inches.

 

[Vol knight]

Alert!!! This is for everyone outside of the mountains.

...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM EST /3 AM CST/ TO 4 PM EST /3 PM CST/ TUESDAY...

Know this isn’t east TN weather related, but remember those of us that live in the upper Midwest this week. Supposed to be -51 wind chill here in northern Iowa tomorrow night and maybe -55 to -60 below the next. It’s dangerous.

 

[bigdaddy]

Stay safe out there. Coldest temps I’ve seen ever maybe this far into the cont US

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Man the weather forum is all doom and gloom. NWS still showing 2 to 3 inches for East Tn valley.

After the kind of winter's we've had thats like hitting the lottery.
