Early March southern Snowstorm potential

[skillsweather]

wow south tn gets snow while me in north tn got rain : (.. its like a mix but really just rain and few snow flakes.

[Mathman]

The snow has ended in the 'Boro... it never did amount to much, though there was some minor accumlation on the grass around mid morning.

Farewell Madame Winter... may they soon welcome you in Patagonia!

Taken on S. Crest Rd. in East Ridge by my brother. Spoke to my neighbor and said it looks like a general 4-5" on Signal Mtn. with temps holding at 31. Can't wait to get home.

I'm sure she will be back for a visit...

I'm sure she will be back for a visit...  

No doubt... she is certainly fond of taunting us with her salacious models.

Really odd that OHX added some counties to the advisory back to the SW just as it was tapering off.  Most of the southern and southeastern counties of mid-TN could have used an advisory earlier this morning.  I guess they wait til they get ground-truth reports of accums before issuing.  I assumed it was just the usual bias of on-air Nashville mets to ignore(not believe) that southern parts of the area seem to get more snow than the Nashville basin at times.  The TV people really get on my nerves when they continually undereport snow in certain areas while always banging the "only to the east" drum.  

Oh well, can you tell I'm bummed we didn't get to use a snowday.
If the forecast had been more to my liking and the TV people said what I wanted them to say the powers that be would have made the school closing decision I wanted.  I've never seen it snow that nicely on a school day without school being closed.

Looking like my final tally will be 3.1 inches. It isn't snowing hard enough to counter the melting anymore. Lots of drips coming from the trees now. Still that is more than double what I was thinking for here from this system! Great way to end what has been a great winter.

Winter 2009-10 Snowfall:
12/5 - 1.8 inches
1/2  -  Tr
1/7 -   0.5 inches
1/29 - 4.5 inches + an undetermined amount of ZR
2/12 - 1.4 inches
2/14 - 0.2 inches
2/15 - Tr
2/16 - Tr
3/2  - 3.1 inches

As I look out my window in Brentwood, I see a mini- "snow-covered peaks" look.  There's nothing on the ground outside the window.  What little dusting might have fallen has long melted.  But, all I have to do is look up at the hill across the road that rises maybe 300 feet (for an elevation topping out at around 1000 feet), and I clearly see snow on the ground up there.  It's probably not more than a half inch of snow on the ground up there, but the difference is noticeable anyway.

OHX has cancelled the Winter Storm Warning  except for Cumberland county; everyone else has been trimmed back to an advisory (western edge deleted off altogether).

I drove up into the hills north of ocharleys on bwood over my lunch break. No road accumulations, but def a half inch on grassy surfaces

Major meltdown in progress outside. Still decent coverage on grass, but its pouring off of everything else. Temp is now up to 36.5. I would still expect the roads to be terrible tomorrow morning. Looks like the area mountain tops have made out quite well, with the heaviest snow of the season.

I noticed that too. Took a little video of it. You can skip to 1 minute to get to the main point of the video but nothing too special.

Dwag.....lookout mtn got 7 inches.  Also I was up on signal earlier and it looked like there was about 5 or 6 inches.  Pretty impressive.  If it would have been a little colder down here we would have done very well.  Not complaining though pretty good winter for Chattanooga standards.

We got a dusting in Lafayette earlier this morning but that was it, sun has came out this afternoon and warmed temps. up into the low 40's. Pretty nice day after having moderate snow falling this morning.

The RUC did a good job with this system and showed the moisture getting up this far.

I am not sure exactly how much QPF we received, but I imagine it was more then what any model was predicting...
