Weather-Ice Storm

[sanddune50]

Does anyone know what time of the day recruits generally arrive for their official visit? TDOT has been salting the roads around the clock. Just hope this doesn't prevent some of the recruits visiting from making it in.

Don't know what time they usually arrive, but if they'll wait to get to Knoxville until this afternoon they should be fine. May not be a real problem anyway considering how well the main roads have been treated. JMO.

I know some arrive Friday nights to get settled in, but the official doesn't start til Saturday morning. Could be wrong though.

Bell shouldn't have any issues going up. It is raining in Chattanooga and right now the roads are fine.

The weather wont be a factor, the storm is picking up speed and the warm air is coming in fast.

I mean it's raining in Knoxville too, it's just turning to ice.

The OV visit is for 48 hours, Most come in on Friday to start it and leave around the same time on Sunday. The later they come in on Friday the longer they stay on Sunday which is usually the case if they have school on Friday.

Looks like the weather is going to cooperate reasonably well. It's is past time for some good fortune.

Just wet roads here in Chatt. No sleet yet.

Calling for more freezing rain in Knoxville between 10am and 2pm. Atleast according to channel 10.

do you think butch is going to let the weather stop him from getting some recruits in.bet people blaming saban for the ice.

 

[sanddune50]

Roads have been salted all night. Temperatures would have to drop well below freezing for the roads to freeze. Not going to be the prettiest day, but unless you are in a residential area or the country travel should be fine.

Saban needs clear skies. Biggest recruiting weekend for the 2014 class coming to TTown.

There's 9 weather related wrecks on I-40 currently in the Knoxville area alone. It's nasty out there. Most should plan to arrive tomorrow since it should be clear by then
