East Tennessee Weather II

Hang on brother, it’s coming. We are on the high side of the estimates too.

Oh, I certainly haven't given up. I just think it'd be funny if we didn't

That’s usually how it goes here, isn’t it? Mark Reynolds is never right.

Pretty much

Warm air trying to push up through the valley.

Stopped in greenback

Small flurries in Alcoa. May be it for a hot minute.

Got about 2 inches in Oak Ridge. Roads are definitely snow covered in my neck of the woods, including the turnpike.

Stopped in West Knox. Is it expected to crank back up or is this it?

My phone app says 60-95% from 6p-11p

You got another wave that will bring a little more....

Nothing crazy though

 

[zooguy]

Kind of a dud.

It's here.

There's more snow on the way. Getting ready to see another round of moderate snow in my back yard.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

I'm close to 407 Sevierville exit. Almost 3 inches here.

Now seeing some freezing rain. Roads are going to continue being dangerous tonight and tomorrow, so I highly discourage any unnecessary travel.

 

[hUTch2002]

It hasn’t done anything in almost 2 hours in West Knox. I think it fell apart more than anticipated.

The freezing rain has changed back into snow in Oak Ridge.

Started slow in TRI/Kingsport and surrounding area, but definitely picked up the pace. Coming down pretty good. We’ve got about 2.5 to 3” here where I live just a stones throw from the VA border. Looks like plenty more before midnight.

We had a brief period where the snow was melting on the road, which has now turned into ice that the snow is piling up on. Going to be a fun morning for those that have to get out.

Snowing again here in South Maryville.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen posts this morning about the storm. You all are usually all over it. Now that we’re about 24 hours from the start, has anything changed? Are we still thinking 4-6? I’m in West Knoxville so I’m curious about that area in particular. It seems like this is one it’s better to be West.

One more question, I haven’t seen any posts from @MetVol. Is Met still around? He (or she but I’m fairly sure he) was always very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the posts.

Sorry! Busy with work and family, and just haven't got on here much.

Looks like we'll wind up with 3-6" for most of the Knoxville area. May get another inch or so tonight before it ends.

We basically got dry slotted. It dried out throughout the DGZ, so the snow crystals weren't forming and we were getting some fzra/fzdz for several hours. This really compacted the current snow cover, so snowfall measurements will be lower because of that compaction.

Radar is showing we are at the tail now. Probably another 0.5-1.0” will be added. Going to be some slick roads tomorrow with some of the sleet that came down (Alcoa/Maryville area).

Still a very impactful winter storm. A few inches of snow and light ice has made the roads very difficult to travel. A truck is literally stuck on the hill outside of my home after trying to climb it.

Give me a snow day Monday and I’m more than happy with this snow!

 

[hUTch2002]

So is there another system possibly coming in on the 20th?
