To snow or not to snow...

Right now, it seems that everything has gone up in the air (no pun intended). Models have dramatically weakened the system which would pass through Tennessee. Everything is going to depend on the flow of Gulf moisture to the area. Now, although it may be very wrong, here is my perspective on the whole deal. If we get too much Gulf air (warm, moist) it will push out the cold, necessary-for-snow cold temperatures and thus we will get rain. On the other hand, if get too little of the Gulf air, we won't have the moisture for a great deal of snow BUT the temperatures will cold enough for some snow.

Another one of my concerns is how cold the ground will be. Sunday's high is 56 F. That is AWFULLY warm. If that occurs, I just don't think the ground will get cold enough for the snow to stick before the snow, which is anticipated to fall early Monday morning.

There is a chance of snow both on Tuesday and Wednessday but I really haven't looked at that much yet.

Stay tuned...
