Wintry Midsouth Winter Storm January 12th-13th

I'm very surprised WPC gives the Chattanooga area a 50-60% chance of at least 1 inch. Nothing I know of even shows that at all. I expect snow showers or flurries for a bit but that is it. All models show the snow drying up as it moves east.

There was no argument this time . This was clear. People kept saying oh it was in the 60s blah blah ..... This is a classic type system in the southeast . Warm one day , winter storm the next

Right, I'll never forget east Alabama getting tornadoes and 70s one day and five inches of snow the next.

WTVC showed a band later this afternoon and early evening. Hope WPC is right! Ill take my 1 inch of snow and run with it
 
looks like its beginning to diminish as it pushes east. the back side is most likely sucking in some dry air

It's not going to snow in GA from this one unless it's the mountains. It wasn't out storm. The clipper coming up is the most likely shot at another snow in the area, but I don't expect it to happen at all.

I can't be here and root for other folks on this forum at all?

You can, and that's fine. I was just thinking that you were talking about GA. Sorry about that. Here is the dry air map, and it's why I think a lot aren't going to see anything. I don't even expect a second line.

Ya that dry air punch is not going to be pretty especially with the comma pulling ENE or NE
 
Wonder why they are getting a lot of reports of moderate snow towards Florence but the radar doesn't really show anything?
 
it got to one county west of me and started dissipating. corinth snow shield in full effect
 
just walked outside at work and it's spitting a few small flakes. you can see across the TN river and it looks like a white out...but damn it's cold and the wind will take your breath away
 
I forgot about the dry slot. #1,582 out of 2,000 different ways the south can get screwed during a winter storm. Half joking but getting a little nervous up here in White House. I do have some freezing rain on the ground but that’s it so far due to the mother of all dry slots.
 
Oh believe me, watching the NWS radar in west TN, it's painful, it completely reminds me of 3/1/09, just in Tennessee this time. ULLs sometimes like to stall and then eventually the moisture will choke off. Right now the shield is barely moving at all.

ONLY 2,000?

The real kicker would be if the band holds together only for it to drop more freezing rain on us. Now that would be total heresy.
 
Yeah, its just sitting there in North Mississippi slowly moving this way. I hope it holds together. Its been snowing off and on all morning with nothing showing on radar.

I was you in 3/1/09 actually. WSW for 4-6" and nary a flake from that one. That ULL stalled right before it hit my county.

That's the story with ULLs. There's going to be a screw zone with all of them and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
