PowellVol…..I don’t write much on here due to me being a weather dufus……but prayers for your wife and family…..my wife had a double 2 years ago….she is doing great now…..

I remember sitting in class (Knoxville) in the 1960s ….looking out the window and watching the light rain in the morning , knowing that it would change to snow around 10 am because Margie said it would. And, many times it did. I think for most of us non- technical weather lovers, we became enamored with winter forecasts because of the anticipation and excitement it would bring. I think now my love for winter weather is due to the memories it stirs from those good ole days. I’m sure all of us remember waking up several times per night to peek out the window for that dusting to an inch. Seems like it like it was more often than it really was. Heck, I even married a “TV weather girl” in the 80s. She lasted 5 months on TV ….she was terrible. (We were only married for 3 years……not just because she was a terrible weather girl). Cheers.

West Knox. 7 in or so.

Nice Valentines Snow in 1986. Closed my office early at ParkWest in west Knoxville and took 2 hours to take the office staff home as I had “front wheel drive”. Not many 4 wheel drives back then. Good times.

Guarantee 2 inches of salt brine in Knoxville already.

Southwest Knox Gettysvue we have snow on mulch and rooftops. Around 2:30 pm the flakes were enormous then a mix moved in.

Was at my moms house in northwest Knoxville around Cumberland estates an measured snow at 4.5. Back home in Westborough off Gleason and measure 2.5.

Yes. Just left Pete’s.....moderate large flakes....makes me think I’m in the 1970s wanting to get the sled out..cheers.
