A few inches in late April isn't unheard of here. When my grandfather was young, we got 9 inches in May.

That one hurt, we have better odds of a true blizzard hitting than we do of going on a deep NCAA run.

The 18z had a major winter storm. similar to the one we just had, around the 29th. It was gone at 0z but it's been pretty good at sniffing them out a long way out this winter. It has a smaller clipper with snow on the 25th at 0z.

It's a mystery how Scott Co went from 6-7 inches to 0 to trace in 12 hours. The maps are pulled from the National Snowfall Analysis page.

A triple dip weak Nina wouldn't break my heart. They are winter gold here normally.

Snowfall Map from yesterday and then today regarding this system. They cover the same timeframe. I don't know how the map changes this much for the same time period 24 hours later. The sad thing is that both are wrong, but the updated one is even more wrong. Things like this is why the significant winter storm snowfall maps end up looking way off years later and why the snowfall record doesn't line up with our memories and observations. The updated map has Scott County with nothing to a dusting. They had 6-8 inches. It has snow totals in my area at 50% of what actually fell. Among my friends at various parts of the county there was 10 near the Claiborne line, 8 in Jellico, 8 in Jacksboro, 10 in LaFollette, 8 in Caryville. You guys can decide if either lined up for your area. The first map was close here. Map from yesterday. Map from today.

That was pretty terrible by the NCAA selection committee.

Me top! Watching the replays late at night on channel 2/PBS.

A high pressure system slid by and we now have SW winds. Those warm things really fast, regardless of snow cover or cloud cover. I've warmed 25 degrees in two hours while sleet and then freezing rain was falling when strong SW winds arrive.

Crazy since they are surrounded on all sides by 5-7 inches. The sun didn't really do much here today. Still have a solid 8 inches on the ground even with compaction and the afternoon sun.

Temps dropping fast as the sun went behind the mountain around am hour ago. 22 and falling.

11 inches of March snow and a trip to the SEC Championship game, if we win tomorrow that will be the bigger surprise.

Yeah, I was skeptical of the 10 inch or more amounts being shown. Expected 5 or 6 maybe but it just kept pouring down hour after hour.

The streamers are like thunderstorm squalls when they do hit. Windy and intense.

Had another streamer around 11am that added 1/2 inch. 11 total now. Figured it was over around 8.

No. Colder is always better for sticking snow. For some reason snow just wasn't getting to the ground in areas to the East. Most likely some dry air pulled over the mountains.

Pretty widespread reports here of 9-10 1/2 inches. Elevation didn't even play a big role. Some of the 10 inch reports are from 1100 feet or so.

It's crazy, apparently there were areas where the radar looked great but had very little snow falling. Uncle Nasty said it happened to him for a while in Nooga.

Looks like I'm gonna end at 10.6 inches. I don't think the light snow falling will add much of anything else. That gets me to 31.6 inches this season.

Looks Iike a lot of the counties around Knox have 5-6 inches per reports I'm seeing. Very sold event for the entire 40 corridor from Memphis to Knoxville. Rare any time to get virtually the whole state.

Crazy how it was small flakes all night and now it's back to big flakes this morning.

Don't have anything like Holston to be able to see it but it's coming down pretty hard here.

Snow is picking back up pretty good under the band working over the Plateau now. Back to nickel and quarter sized flakes and 1/2 mile visibility.

Snowing still but for the first time in around 7 hours, its light snow. Still waiting on the final band before I sleep a couple hours.

Wild to watch that back band on the radar. In an hour or so it grew rapidly from near the Kentucky border to stretch all the way down to Northern Alabama now. Should get the whole eastern valley as it moves east over the next hour or so.
