Agree 100%I'm gonna go ahead and say this is the best snow experience I've had since moving to east TN in 1994. Not necessarily the biggest flakes or heaviest convective bands but damn good. I was here for Jan/Feb 96. March 2022 was some of the hardest I've seen fall and possibly the most accumulation at my area. But this long duration event is a thing of beauty. I'm over the 6 inch mark currently and the scene outside is picture perfect dime ripping heavy snow with fatty radar returns on the way. Best east TN storm for me. Very very grateful.-

Biggest flakes and I think the heaviest rate I've had so far. Visibility is greatly reduced. Just unbelievable. Think I'm starting to get under those returns coming out of Huntsville.

I was just thinking I cannot recall a storm IMBY that has snowed continuously for more than the Blizzard of 93 where I live. Where I live it snowed during the blizzard for about 16 hours. It started snowing here at 8PM roughly last night and if still snowing at 4 PM this will pass the longest duration snowfall for where I live.

My flake size has increased too, was a little worried that meant I was getting close to the rain/snow line, but my temp is still frozen at 28/29 all day. Wonder if the SPC update is starting to take effect?Yeah the wind and flake size increased with this band, friggin awesome.

You are right you sure did, but you included my house in that special strip, so all good by me. Seriously though you called it before it even started snowing.
I called it a few days back.

Just can't get over how much is still upstream. Hytop looks like a Christmas tree, all heading NE towards plateau and East Tennessee.

That line is mine. I call dibs.As far as I can tell it should make it. SPC convective statement Powell posted seems hopeful too.
IMO someone between me and Knoxville is going to ride the line just right and get 10-12”.-

Weather Channel has someone broadcasting from Broadway and I was stunned it snowing as hard as it was. Nashville going to come out really well I think.Is anyone in the band north of Nashville? It's showing a 45dbz streak on the NWS radar.-

That really really sucks man.No power and a cold rain in Sevierville

Really sucks that you aren't getting it. Maybe you'll still score if the cold can make it to that side of the valley before all is said and done. Still hours of upstream precip. If that Storm prediction center mesoscale update holds true maybe forcing might help in your area to bring down temps.Congrats to everyone who scored. Glad a decided to take a nap this morning...all rain here. -
Crossed over 5" now. Well on my way to 6".

Right I really wonder what was going on behind the scenes.
Actually……I started to feel sorry for the on-air people. They probably knew it was gonna bust high, but there was probably some one in management that told them what they HAD to say. Either that…..or they are just plain ignorant!!!!

Looks safe to say WVLTs 2-3" accumulation for me and Knoxville is a complete bust, especially since most in that 2-3" forecast still have about 10 to 12 hours of snowfall to go. Really surprised they downplayed this event so much when they surely saw guidance.

One of the things I'm really impressed by this morning is how fast these tiny flakes are piling up. With the flakes so small it's deceiving when looking outside. It looks a lot lighter a snow than it really is.

Still coming down at a great clip, temp hasn't budged from 27 degrees, little over 4 inches now.

My road which is a secondary state highway was brined yesterday, scraped and salted by TDOT at 730 this morning.

Closing in on 3" Northern Meigs on the Roane line. View into the woods behind my house. Flakes are small mostly but coming down at a good clip, my phone camera isn't good at picking them up though

Ok heaviest snow so far IMBY. Much heavier than last night. If I can keep these rates I can believe an additional 6" or 7" on top of my 2" from last night/early morning.

Yeah I suspect as the day goes along pavements will start to get covered. The ground temp is radiating through pavement keeping just a bit warmer, but suspect as time goes on and heavier snow moves in and temps stay below freezing those surfaces will start to freeze.It’s been an odd snow here in Loudon County. We have a steady snow currently and probably got more in last 45 minutes than we did last night. However, nothing the sidewalks or roads. We are below freezing and have been since about 8 last night.

Interesting I'm under the lighter stuff on your image on the northern edge of your image like heading toward Knoxville and it's snowing as hard as it did during the night last night and seems to be slowly picking up. I'll be at 2" probably within the hour. 1.75" of that occurred during the night. I wonder what your temp and dewpoint are where you are located.
I’m in the yellow and we have flurries at best right now. Hoping something changes

Similar to me about 1.75" here on grass mostly. Though that blossoming band just reached me and right on queue it's picking back up after that pause during the night. I really think that is the reason models a few days ago had timing issues. Many models didn't start snow until this morning for East Tennessee, and interestingly this morning is when the primary heavier snow is set to begin and persist through the day. I look at the night time stuff as just bonus and the real deal is what we get today through tonight.So far this morning have about 1.25in mostly on the grass with a crunchy ice and scattered snow cover layer on the roads and driveway.

Take a look at Hytop!!! Precip blossoming and really increasing in intensity upstream of East Tennessee.

I've had off and on again moderate rates. I'm already sitting at about a half inch. I really was only expecting the tiniest dusting until the morning when the heavier snow forms up the valley. At this rate I'll have 3 inches by daybreak.

My temp hasn't changed at all still 28, but had some heavy goose feathers stepped back outside to find it was goose feathers with some sleet mixed in. Wild!
