Thanks for sharing! The image there is very accurate. I remember (living in the NW part of Cumberland County where it shows 10-10.5" on the map) getting sent home from work early due to the snow. My car already had about four inches of snow on it.

I drove 8 miles Southeast into town to grab some food and chill at home. When I got to town there was no snow and it was still raining there and the drive thru woman asked where the heck I lived that there was that much snow already and I told her just a few miles up the road. Once it had quit snowing they were about six inches behind where we were just up the road due to the snow starting way sooner here with us being about 200ft higher elevation. It was one of the sharpest snow cutoffs I can remember here.

Yep. Then the big East Coast Storm hit the 23rd. That one varied big time in the area. Mixing, Downsloping issues in parts of area. Wound up with just 4" from It. Well below forecasted amounts. 

Yep and most midstate areas received much more than forecast. Nashville eastward was common 8-12 inch amounts and then it trickled off some once you got east of the Plateau I believe

This was in the January 2016, 19th or 20th. 

We got around 9-10 inches here in January 2016 but it was on January 22nd in Crossville. I do remember a couple days before that we only got about two or three inches from the one you're talking about and areas east of here got a lot more I think. It must've been warm on the 21st because I remember almost all of it had melted by the time the big storm hit on the 22nd.

The 22nd we were supposed to get 2-4 inches but it changed over from rain several hours earlier so we got a lot more than expected. It's the most snow I've had since moving to Crossville in 2012.

It seems to be easing up here now, but beautiful snow. It reminds me of a couple good winters in 2010 and 2011 when the last snow hadn't completely melted before more fell on top of it.

Fairly heavy snow in Fairfield Glade near Crossville:

I do too. Last system was to have rain involved and was an all snow event here.

I can see this melting fast if the sun decides to peek through later but hopefully it will surprise us all and snow all day.

TWC also suggests a changeover to rain here but I doubt it. It said the storm the other day would start out as rain for a few hours as well but it was all snow here. Hopefully everyone on the forum can get a surprise hit today.

Dang.  Looks like I need to go south or east if I’m gonna see snow this winter.  Must not be livin’ right.  LOL!!

Bad when you gotta make a trip to Louisiana for the good stuff

Went to the campground by the house to take a couple pics since it was so pretty in the snow the other day. Still a little snow was leftover from that event but it's always a nice scene there with the woods and cabins.

Flakes are normal size here in Crossville. Falling straight down with light wind

I take a phone pic, then send it to my computer, then upload it to IMGUR. Once you upload it to IMGUR, right click on it and choose "copy image address". You can then just copy that address into the text fields here and the pic will pop up. 

Yeah I know how to do all that, it just felt quicker to me to screenshot the picture I just took and upload that. Because screenshotting the picture seems to put it at around 1mb but the quality still looks good

Measured 3 inches here last night, seems like it has packed down somewhat this morning. 

Same here. It had melted off our walkway by this morning despite the temperature showing 29-30 all night.

How do you guys upload pics here? It’s telling me max size is 1.95MB.  That seems small.

I take a picture and then a take a screenshot of the picture with my phone lol

I drove to my bank in Monterey 10 miles away and they only have a dusting to an inch.  Usually they get as much or more than us in some cases. Definitely a finicky system. I drove through the campground beside my house and it's beautiful this morning

Exceeded my expectations here between Crossville and Monterey for sure. We were on the edge of just getting a dusting according to most models, so it did overperform here. Pretty snow though, im surprised this one didn't stick to the trees more.

Heavier snow since I posted that picture 20 minutes ago so it's adding up pretty quickly

Whatever model(s) seemed to show decent accumulation in southern middle Tennessee seems to be the winner so far. Seems like a swath from Columbia eastward got accumulation

31 at my house between Monterey and Crossville. Still seems to be coming down pretty good. I wasn't expecting it to snow this much already so hopefully it'll keep up as it moves east. Temperatures are supposed to stay hovering around freezing all night but hopefully it won't melt much.

Heavy snow and big flakes between Crossville and Monterey here. Turning white quickly.

TWC showed a cold rain for us for the first few hours but it has been all snow so I figure it should stay that way.

Mustve had some heavy virga over me earlier

No worries at all my friend. That was a rain to snow event with 3-5 inches around the area at least along the border counties. I worked in West Knoxville at the time. Heavy rain there transitioned to rain/snow mix around Clinton exit, all snow around Lake City exit and a heavy paste job from just south of Caryville and points north here. Looks like Oneida, Tazewell, and TRI all had similar amounts. Knoxville only had a trace of snow at TYS but about ,70 rain.

Good article about this event here: https://www.weather.gov/hun/hunsur_2004-02-15

I have a good story about that event. I lived just across the border in McCreary County, KY at the time (north of Oneida) and they called for 8-12 inches of snow starting that night. We were going to church south of Oneida that night (it hadn't started snowing yet) and were seeing cars coming northbound with snow plastered on their front bumpers like they had ran into heavy snow recently, but yet it was completely dry for us. We finally got to the road the church was on and snow just started pouring down harder than I've ever seen. We had to turn around and on the way out several cars were already in the ditch.

By the time we got back home just 20min away it was still completely dry. It never snowed a flake that night at our house despite the 8-12 inches that was forecast. Later on the news we saw where random parts of Morgan County and Crossville area received up to a foot of snow, while we were bone dry. Here's a picture of the snow depth on that day so you can see how finicky the system was.

Took this picture when it was snowing hard in Crossville around 1030 or so

That appears to be heading my way at least scraping by me, I'm looking forward to that one been watching it since Nashville. What sucks for me is it will disappear from OHX radar soon and there is a hole when it comes to snow like that over Roane northen Rhea and northern Meigs that is hard to see. I need to switch between OHX, MRX, and Hytop to follow snow through my neck of the woods.

Yeah there is a constant hole any time it snows over my house lol. You have to look outside to see it and I don't have a street light so it's hard to tell sometimes.

Exit 311 NW of Crossville just now during a heavy snow band. This is I40. Two of these bands went through in the last couple hours taking from a very light dusting to this:
