Looks like severe is about to get cranked up in a week or so .

I never even heard it raining all that hard. I was shocked to see my rain gauge but all the creeks were almost out of their banks .

About the same here .

What’s crazy is they had a bomb threat at HMS yesterday around noon. Apparently a student told a teacher that another female student had a gun and bomb in her backpack. Obviously, they didn’t find anything. .

On the southeast corner of that red light where 33 and Emory cross there’s a CVS across the street from HMS. I live right behind the CVS. .

Halls as in Halls where I live? .

Beautiful .

Your elevation is just a little short of 2000 correct? I was having a conversation with some of the guys on Mike Witchers private weatherboard and I was telling them about your location and how much better you do than 90% of East Tennessee outside the mountains. We have several people on Mike’s board who are close to the Tn boarder, east of 75 to Bristol in areas that you don’t hear about very often just because they’re so rural. That area close to the Tennessee State line east of 75 is in a completely different climate than the majority of East Tennessee outside the mountains. They send in a lot of pictures from their communities when it snows and when Knoxville gets flurries, it’s just about guaranteed those areas that I was talking about are going to get an inch or so. This one guy lives in Church Hill area and I’m not sure they have had school up there one full week since it got cold in January. .

I might be wrong, but I believe our biggest snow ever in the Knoxville area was in November, however, just about all of our biggest snowstorms have been in March. That makes sense though considering that’s about the best moisture return month you’re going to get before it gets too warm. .

March 2025 would like a word with them .

A buddy of mine moves dirt for a living and he painted one of his excavators….. .

I would not be surprised if out of Knoxville’s 10 biggest snowstorms, 3/4 of those had temperatures in the 60s or 70s within a week before the storm. I bet a lot of our biggest snows in or around Knoxville had a above average temperatures for the season .

I have a friend in Livingston Tn and he does really well also. He’s at lower elevation but he’s just on the edge of the Plateau, so he benefits from NW flow similar to how Townsend or Gatlinburg would. .

It’s perfect .

All kidding aside… he might be in one of the best locations for snow other than above 3000 feet in the mountains. It really does snow there a whole lot more than just about anywhere else in East Tennessee. You can see the snow up on the ridge tops there from Oak Ridge pretty easily. .
