Flurries IMBY as of now. Probably means John has an inch.

@Carvers Gap Kingsport looks like it is about to get a decent squall.

Nice snow shower in progress here

We had some light snow showers here as well this morning.  The snow moved out about 10:00AM.  About 5 minutes later, the wind started howling at 20-25mph sustained.  I was out running and hit a headwind which slowed me down and about turned me into a popsicle.  Wind chills are COLD!  What a sharp contrast to last week.

Had a decent snow shower just now at the house and must have missed one while we were at church bc there is a small dusting in spots in the grass up next to the walkway here at the house.

18 and heavy frost this morning. Glad the the winds have settled down.

The west end of Morristown near MRX picked up a decent little dusting overnight. Nothing on my end of the county though. Skies cleared out and bottomed out at 18. When I just drove to the west side of town right now I noticed the snow started showing up more and more the further west that I went. I did notice a small streamer in that area around 5AM this morning. That area is somewhat favored in NW flow. It can do pretty well for the valley in these events.

Noticed that and thought about you when I was driving up 81 this AM. That was really the only pace I noticed anything appreciable from Morgan county to Kingsport. 

Bays Mt band is no bueno this AM, but I did get some nice pics of Chimney Top:

And of course as soon as I get to Kingsport, it looks like something is trying to start up in the right area:

Desperation has set in. 

100 second time lapse aimed generally upwind of the Bays Mt band:

Just got a surprise heavy snow/sleet storm going on currenty, loud enough I could hear it inside. Currently 21 so maybe I can get some tweezers to collect enough for one tiny snowman

 

Going to enjoy this like it's all I get this season

Western end of Lee County had measurable Snow. .5-1.0. Northern section on Wise Plateau as well. A very light dusting here in central Lee County.

Bays mt. band looks to be starting up a bit now, I will try to drive through it heading back to MoCo. 

[Holston_River_Rambler]

Managed to get a few pics of the band as I drove home:

I 81 southbound near mm 56

 

Looking SW from intersection of Wilcox Dr and John B Dennis:

 

I don't think this was an optimal time, but there was some precip in the area the band sets up. 

 

Also @Carvers Gap:

 

I may have brought some washing machine bad luck back to Morgan County, lol:

We had around 1/2 inch this morning above about 1600 feet, around 8ish. Ended up causing school to be canceled.
