Ok, seeing a flurry would be a win at this point.

The line appears to be falling apart west to east and by looking at the NOAA radar, the Plateau counties have the best chance at seeing this snow.

Looks like most of it already went over Nashville, very little left. I wonder if it even hit the ground?

It is running into the mid-south snow shield you know. 

I was hoping this might be the yearly overperforming clipper that unexpectely gives everyone an inch or so.  Doesn't look like this is the one.

The color-coded precipitation type radar from Intellicast actually shows the tail end of it changing to rain right now as it passes through the Nashville area. 

Not sure how accurate that is.  It's light to nothing anyway.

[beth]

Intellicast showing a little over me but not seeing any thing. Oh well, last chance for snow for awhile.

i wonder if knoxville will get a light dusting from this? hopefully the plateau wont suck it all up

[beth]

Looks like more snow is headed this way from Indianna. NWS latest update says 1/2 inch for the plateau and a dusting for the rest of the mid-state.

Just noticed that OHX as put out a short term forecast and I looked outside and, to my surprise, saw snow falling.

Light flurries here in Monterey currently.  This morning we had some freezing fog/mist that made the ride in ver interesting...lots of folks in the ditches.

Check out this spectacular sight from the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area here on the northern Cumberland Plateau. This is at the base of Yahoo Falls, a 113-ft. waterfall, where ice has accumulated since the temperatures dropped on New Year's Day.

I assume a knowledgeable local newspaper editor would have that pic in his paper.

Yeah, I would hope so. 

[Charles L.]

Yeah, I would hope so. 

If I were you, I would send this photo into TWC or some of the other big National networks like CNN and Fox News. They would really like showing this picture because it is just awesome and it would be a great lead in to talking about this artic blast as it winds down.
