Tomatoes: planted
Beans: sprouting
Herbs thriving
Severe weather almost nonexistent so far!

Guess there is one advantage to living in Tennessee.

Record high of 85 today in Nashville. Now getting ready to hunker down in the safe room for a dose of our great severe weather. Moving back to vegas looks better and better all the time!

Great teaching skills! I’m recommending you for a HS physical science position! A teacher on his feet is worth two on their seats!

Nashville area…mid 70’s. Had to turn in the AC as its horribly humid, also!

6 is exceptionally low for the Nashville area..we are supposed to reach mid 30’s today and tomorrow before deep freeze city hits us again over the weekend. Today has been designated “clean off the cars day.”

I guess I need to put off planting my tomatoes for a few days.

Interesting and flexible set up for SE and south central US coming up this weekend!

Suburban Nashville (Spring Hill/Maury County): cold line has passed…temp below 32..inches of ice and changeover to sleet. When the winds pick up, it will cause additional massive power outages as ice laden trees snap. The positive: precipitation will be over soon!

Suburban Nashville: temp went above 32! Now for the refreeze tonight!

31.5 in suburban Nashville with freezing rain pouring down. At least an inch+ of ice on everything. I’ve not experienced an ice storm this bad. Power outages widespread but our power, fortunately, is underground so OK so far. Saving grace is that precipitation will be fine by noon but then here comes the bitter cold!

Suburban Nashville: Heavy snow falling at 10:30 am. About an inch..awaiting the changeover to sleet and freezing rain this afternoon. Casting a spell to keep warm nose south to, lessen freezing rain.

Tennessee is ready…everyone will be able to eat for the next three months from their hoarded stores of 56 gallons of milk, 36 loaves of bread and several kegs of beer!

Pea soup fog in Nashville area this AM. Preparing for a major ice event over the weekend, as all models seem to have synced for that. Excited…NOT!

Tennesseans are like dogs salivating after hearing Pavlov’s bell!

9.1 in suburban Nashville this AM…very, very unusual for this area!

So, let’s see…

Snow suit or speedo?

Might Tennessee be entering the candy store instead of just longingly looking through the window. Although I’m a Vegas kid, not putting my money on it yet.

And in Tennessee, we are the kids longingly looking through the candy store window!

Temp 71; dew point 62; full or partial sun 75% of day. Nashville Worst Weather Service say no instability; atmosphere washed by storms that were done by 8am……what am I missing here ? Would expect severe weather based on dynamics of incoming front.

65 and 1.02 of rain so far this AM and it’s still pouring. Expecting 2-3” before it ends tomorrow….more like late spring instead of the dead of winter……..Spring hill, TN (suburban Nashville.

Happy Christmas to all…basking in 73 degrees today in suburban Nashville….played several rounds of outdoor games and got sunburned even through the clouds. 70’s isn’t Christmas to me!

Balmy 58 in Nashville area today; 0 wind chill by 6 am Sunday; then 60:and rainy by Wednesday/thursday. Definition of schizophrenic weather pattern.

Looks like the core of the cold is not going to penetrate the mid south as had been advertised for days on end. Nashville will return to the 50’s for the holidays……or so the crystal ball seems to think.

Flew JFK to Paris last night. 5.5 hours…speed varied between
675-698, so a 100+ mph tailwind. So bumpy that crew had to stay strapped in for most of the flight and no AM service. I’ve flown 1. 5 MM and that was one of the wildest I can remember!

30. Snow spittle last night and this AM….Nashville area.

Think it would be interesting to have Kyle Macritchie as a guest on Weather and a Beer!

Suburban Nashville (Spring Hill): 2.5” rain since Sunday….35-40 mph winds yesterday afternoon in a storm. 2-4” more on the way today and tomorrow. My grass is already growing exponentially to spite me, but great drought buster, nonetheless!

Suburban Nashville—Spring Hill:88 with heat index of 108 at noon. Second day in a row…ts pops up right over us with 2” of rain after the same scenario yesterday dropped .35 yesterday. Over 600 lightning strikes from the small but mighty storm. We’ve truly lucked out for the incoming heat…probably won’t have to water most of week….Hunga…Read More

Now that’s big hail!

We had 1.12 inches of rain (storm over performed, I think, with the upslope) at my place in far NW Vegas (Centennial Hills) yesterday. School rain gauge (east side by Boulder Station) had .56. Exciting day for a city that gets 4″ of rain a year. Kudos to davidwlehning for his reports…love to read those when I’m back home in TN!!

Working in Vegas again for three months…..had a few spits of snow around 6 a.m. in the far NW and intermittent rain the rest of the way in to the east side. First rain in 223 days and looks like .10-.50 today. People drive like idiots, ignoring the slickness caused by the months of oil and grime build up.
I’ll be corralling 600 k-5 during…Read More

Spring Hill/columbia, TN: family reports 4-6”…. Right on target.

A++++++++++++++++++++ for Henry!!!

Snow? Blizzard? Place your bets with the agent at the window…odds posted every few minutes!!

Headed back again to Vegas to work January and February. Leaving the family in Nashville to freeze while I bask in sunshine and warmth! Sure I’ll be popular when I return.

I don’t hop on chat very often, but…..Merry Christmas to all and may 2025 be your year of happiness and prosperity !

At the risk of being labeled a heretic and burned at the stake, I’m anxious to see Google’s new AI weather forecasting program…GenCast…at work. Tried to post a link to an article but wouldn’t work. Articles are in phys.org and Gizmodo,as well as several others.

14 this AM in Spring Hill, TN….looking forward to return flow warmth and rain tomorrow!

11 degrees in Spring Hill, TN…probably close ro record low, if not the record. 50’s/60’s with rain over the weekend Schizophrenic weather, to say the least!

Talk about madness…flying out of Paris CDZg this AM as snow flies …probably 3-5” on ground for which Paris is totally unprepared……flights late; crews late; inadequate deicing equipment. Interesting event for a weather geek!

32 this AM south of Nashville. First frost right on schedule….this year…it has been much
later the past three years!

Although I am STILL in Vegas doing school mentoring, we live in Spring HIll..near the southside. Family could see the tornado..had it not veered, it would have creamed us and the entire town of Spring Hill…of course, I was watching the chasers and NashSevereweather, following every turn and squiggle . Flooding is the biggest concern today. No…Read More

Steady rain all AM in Vegas…..preparing for the millions who can’t drive in the rain the next two days. Will be interesting to see if the thunderstorms actually happen on Tuesday…..cold core funnels?

Western weather people: far NW side of vegas—.50 of rain last 12 hours. More tomorrow and back to 60’s later in week. Glad I’m here working instead of back in Nashville!

Glad I’m working in Vegas this winter instead of being home in Nashville! I’m looking forward to the 60’s this next week while my family shovels !

Working in Vegas next 2-3 months…it’ll be interesting to see if storm 6/7/8 brings snow to valley floors! Models and local NWS are hedging on it a little.

The 6/10 and 8/14 CPC Long Range look like they took a blow torch to the map for everyone! Gotta love it! (or not)

Live south of Nashville…Henry, you were spot on predicting the threat yesterday while our NWS poo poo’d the idea and were very nonchalant…..you need to do intense mentoring with NWS Nashville! Thanks…you are a positive force for us!
