Winter Storm Buries The High Knob Landform

A deep fall of heavy snow buried much of the southern & central Appalachians as a winter storm lifted out of the Gulf of Mexico on February 12.

The storm followed a classic Miller A track just inland of the coast.  A track which climatology repeatedly shows throws the hammer down upon the High Knob Massif and locations to the east and northeast along the mountain chain.

A second heavy fall of snow on ROARing SW winds generated blizzard-like conditions across the great High Knob Massif during February 14-15, adding more depth, with a third system capping it off into morning hours of February 16.

A general 20" to 30" of snow fell upon upper elevations, above 3000 feet, of the High Knob Massif during the February 12-16 period.

Northern slopes of the massif had several inches of 
snow depth prior to the big dump of February 12-13.

How would you like to set out on a hike across this mass of high country ridges?  Merely a tiny portion of the sprawling expanse that is the High Knob Massif.

Rod said if all the snow could be spread out evenly the depth would easily be 2 feet; however, in reality wind blown depths varied from bare ground to drifts more than 5 FEET ( much more in places such as the infamous Davenport Gap Drift Zone in upper portions of the Big Cherry Lake Basin ).

A striking contrast between the wind swept summit and drifts of 3 to 5+ feet are testimony to simply wicked conditions that show no mercy amid this great massif of high country.

More than 80" of snow have now fallen upon the main crest zone of the High Knob Massif, despite a great lack of December snow, in Winter 2013-14.

The only way to reach High Knob Lake during the closed season, September 15 to May 15, is to hike or ride a horse along the Chief Benge Hiking-Horseback Riding Trail.  This is part of a majestic 33 mile trail system linking the City of Norton's Flag Rock Recreation Area with the Little Stony Creek National Recreation Trail.  Many miles of additional trail are hoped to be added to this system in future years amid the massif of Wise-Scott counties.

Time Lapse Observations

It takes about 35 seconds of run time to get to dawn on February 12.  Observe that clouds are moving from right to left across the sky, from the southwest, and that the High Knob Massif has snow covering mountain slopes in the far distance.  Some mountain waves can be detected through mid-morning as virga begins to develop aloft.

Just before mid-day, 12:00 PM Noon local time, a dramatic shift in wind direction to easterly is observed, with clouds now going from left to right across the sky and increasing in speed.  The circulation of the winter storm is beginning to impact the massif area.

High crestlines of the High Knob Massif begin to fade from view between 2:00 to 3:00 PM as the atmosphere saturates from the top down ( snow is developing ).

Snow levels drop dramatically, obscuring the entire massif, and spread downward across the Wise Plateau just after 3:00 PM.  Intensity of snowfall waxes & wanes with bands during the afternoon before increasing for a wicked night of heavy snow & blowing-drifting.

Although a classic TIM Circulation never fully developed, orographic impacts of upsloping across the massif on easterly winds and downsloping into Powell Valley generated a large snowfall gradient during the February 12-13 winter storm.

Cal Adams, resident of the Little Mountain community on the southeastern side of the massif in northern Scott County, Va., reported 16" to 20" of snow depth at his home in upper portions of the Devil Fork Basin to contrast with general 4" to 8" depths on the other side of the massif amid the Powell Valley of Wise County.

Snow depths in Powell Valley of Wise County were the least reported in this area and a product of moisture extraction and downsloping ( sinking air ) off the main high country mass into this majestic karst valley ( inside the calcareous core of the High Knob Massif ), especially during the period of easterly air flow trajectories.

Snow depths began increasing above the floor 
of Powell Valley into South Fork Gorge where superintendent Gary Hampton, of the Big Stone Gap Water Plant, captured this beautiful scene.

John Varner, of the East Stone Gap VDOT, reported a general 12" to 18" of snow on the Virginia side of State Route 160 in Wise County, Va., on February 13, as air was lifted into Black Mountain.

This was a rough storm for VDOT.  Both a grader and truck got stuck working State Route 619 in the High Knob Massif during February 13, with a night shift crew dispatched to help them get out of reported 18" to 24"+ snow depths.

Climatology & Weather Charts
February 11-16 Period of 2014

The February 12-13 winter storm was a Miller A Cyclone, and specifically, an inland tracking variant which tends to be a very heavy snow producer for the High Knob Massif area ( often associated with TIM Circulations and extreme snowfall rates ).

An inland variant is a Miller A Cyclone

The second winter storm, with a 1003 MB center over Missouri at 7:00 AM February 14, generated a SW Upslope Flow blizzard across upper elevations 
( above 3000 feet ) of the High Knob Massif during evening hours of February 14.

SW Upslope became NW Upslope into morning hours of February 15, with 4" to 8" of new snow depth being added to the High Knob Massif snowpack with both components.

Snowstorm Coverage

The extent of snow coverage with this storm was impressive as it reached completely across the Appalachians, with sharp gradients ( cut-off in snow accumulation ) noted just northwest of the Virginia-Kentucky border, and great Cumberland Overthrust Block, as well as near the Fall Line across the Tidewater of southeastern Virginia.

In comparison with the Mega-Disaster Storm 
of December 2009, which produced much more snowfall across the High Knob Massif but much less across southwestern portions of the High Knob Landform ( southwest of the massif ), the snow line was farther east over the Carolina's and portions of southeastern Virginia during 2014 than in 2009.
