This could end up being another April 2011 as far as insurance claims go...so much hail damage then that I think insurance companies paid to re-roof most of their customers' homes in the Knoxville area. Plus straight-line winds. I had a tree fall through our roof in the front yard and a wooden privacy fence blown over in the back yard. A tree at the corner of the backyard (on my neighbor's property was uprooted and laid down on the ground -- the trunk was so wide on it that two people couldn't have touched hands around the trunk. Powerful storms. What are the chances that the severe threat is over now that we've had this round of storms?

It missed us in Farragut, but it still looks ominous.

Should those of us in West Knox/Loudon Co. area be concerned about power outages with the possibility of the freezing rain later? Thankfully, it's something we've mostly avoided this week with the mega-snowfall. But freezing rain on power lines -- are we forecasted to get enough accretion to worry about losing power? Thanks for all of you who share your knowledge on a regular basis.

I hope it's a step that still keeps Knoxville in the game? It would be wonderful to have an accumulating snow here to make up a little for an abysmal winter.

My dad's favorite was "it's slicker than snot!" I guess we didn't have as many owls in WV where I grew up...

Any chance we get another southeast jog that actually puts Knox County into the frozen action for Thursday/Friday?
