Good evening, gang. Your friendly weatherdude has had an action packed day and am just now able to update. I will keep it brief and to the point about the pattern ahead of us. It’s going to be very active and is likely to give us a wild February and a couple of big snows.
The first system rolls our way late this week into the weekend with a messy mix. It looks like snow and rain on Friday… mainly rain Saturday… then a switch to some snow on Super Bowl Sunday. The European Model is laying down some snow that day…
The next system that rolls in by Tuesday of next week and this is the one to really keep a close eye on. We’re likely to be dealing with a moisture loaded system that can produce a lot of nasty weather in our region. The exact track of that storm will decide if you get dumped on by heavy snow, heavy rain, or both.
The latest GFS…
That could get ugly before all is said and done. I think another storm follows that up a few days later and is likely to take on an even colder look with it.
I keep saying the same thing… buckle up.
Take care.
Hopefully we end up with more than 3 inches of snow this season. Its not looking too good thus far.
Thanks Chris
I got your 3″+… here in athens tn. today andy…lol… and that might as well be a foot of snow here…not much snow removal equipment down here…

Thanks Chris. Hopefully we can get in on a good snow or two yet! Here’s to keeping hope alive and fingers crossed! Retro Fetch, I’ve already started dancing! 😉
atta girl!
me too 🙂
With all the cold we’ve had, if we can all get one BIG snow I think we’ll all remember this winter as “one to remember!” I’m loving the possibilities!
Thanks Chris for all you do. Always great to read your posts Coffeady. So very positive all the time no mater the weather. I for one love snow ,but I must admit, I am ready for spring and warmer temperatures. Not too hot and for sure no severe thunder boomers or tornados. I do need to realize however that I do live in Kentucky.
NOOOOOO rain!!! Id rather have snow. Geez, another nail biter!!!!
Does anyone know how much snow the Knoxville, TN area got today? Seemed like they were under some heavy snowbands for quite some time.
My sister lives in west Knoxville and she said there is about 3 inches where she lives. She drives a tiny Mini Cooper, so to say the least, she managed to get home and stayed off the roads!
I was Downtown and in North Knoxville today. Looked to be around 3-4″. South into Maryville and East to Morristown and Sevierville, apparently got even more from what friends and family told me.
Let’s hope we have some big snows in the next week. At least 12 inches from each storm! Bring on the snow!!!!!
Knoxville got 4 inches…. Roads are bad here in middlesboro tonight
They sure are, we ended up at nearly 3″ at my house.
I’m from Middlesboro! My Granny lives in Beans Fork!
The roads here in Pikeville are snow covered and slick!
I would wait and not get too excited about the model runs. Even though the GFS is showing a significant event, it is still incorrect. The GFS is also showing a very powerful southerly wind with the tuesday storm, that would keep us mostly rain with a chance for some wraparound snow on the back edge of the system. These are just models, things will become more clear by this weekend.
it,s begining to look like nit for the cats again this year sure not going to win it all this year big let down
Atlanta keeps deteriorating into madness as the day goes on.
I’m sure they’d trade their weather today for zombies in a heartbeat.
Ice on the Ohio River in Louisville. Pretty cool to see.
Waffles anyone……three days and three different looks from the models
Might get real interesting next week. It also might just RAIN!
Even though we haven’t had a big snow yet in Lexington…….I really can’t complain because the events we have had so far have been so cool looking, with the blowing snow and cold. Still can’t believe it managed to get to almost 50 the day after that event. Crazy! I know it will take a “FREAK” storm to give us all a good snow, but if that’s gonna happen, this seems to be the year for it…..I wouldn’t be surprised. I just hope we have a trend buster so we can’t stop adding years from Feb ’98.
Dodger says models are cool. Lets hope the get colder instead of warmer! Dodger!
