Jan 12 Anafront/Clipper/Please just let it snow some

[Curt]

11z HRR was way too aggressive with the main line of precip. Hopefully it wont miss with the snow showers after.

There's plenty of chatter....but my goodness, let's be real...it's not Snowmageddon.  I can assure you - and everyone else - that this board is and will continue to be the best place to gather weather info once an event starts.   

What you mean the posters on this board can't transform flurries into a 6" snowmageddon with a good 100 page thread?  I want my money back.

From my experience of using this model during Nowcasting is that it is usually way too aggressive in snowfall situations.

Rain changing to snow and sleet across west TN. Someone reported to WBBJ (Jackson, TN) that ice was forming up in Dyersburg on the decks and such.

Snowmageddon happened in what, 1985, with the Icepocalyse in 1993?

Got a little dusting on the roofs BTW.

Thanks!

Is that a bit of bright banding I see developing between Clarksville and Dickson?

May not be anything but rain, but there is an increase in dBz in a north-south oriented band on radar.

Getting a fairly heavy snow squall here now... Looks amazing from 9 stories up.

I believe you may be right...probably some sleet mixed in with that rain if I had to take a guess.

12z RUC continues to be bullish with precip (shows possible snow showers all the way down to I-20 here in AL)

Where in Jackson is there a 9 story building?

And yes, the HRRR is often a bit aggressive with snow, but when you take it into account, its the best sim radar out there. Way easier to see how things develop than the RUC or NAM sim radars.

Hopkinsville's ob site reported a temp. of 46F last hour...currently they are at 39F with light drizzle being reported.

No doubt is this precip bringing the cold air to the surface and I wouldn't be surprised if some sleet is reported from this first line.

The hospital... Just as quickly as it started its starting to taper off. Looks like areas north of here from dyersburg over towards Clarksville may see enough to get light accumulations.

I think the precip is just behind the front.

The heavier that precip is, the better for our snow chances

Front is def through Clarksville

I'm hoping we're about to see the southern end of the precip shield explode as the low goes negative tilt. It was forecast to happen between the tenn river and I65 in western middle. We'll see.

Looping RadarScope over the last half hour, it seems to me that is underway now.
