At first I thought it was snow based on how it moved in the air, but it's actually a very fine mist right around 32 degrees at my house

Light snow and 20 degrees here. No real sign of anything on radar.

Just let the dog out and its snowing harder than it has all weekend. Grass and deck already white.

I need to move to you guys' part of town because I still just mist here. Below freezing now though, standing water is starting to freeze up

We lost power for a bit,Wi-Fi is down with Comcast’s no tv getting on the the net is sketchy

Ours just went down.  Wife said Comcast would be up at 2:30AM.  Posted somewhere on their website.  How the heck they know that lol?  I’d hate to be out tonight in this mess.  Those poor linemen.

Sounds pretty similar to what I have. Definitely not purely mist now, I definitely saw a few things bounce, and a few snowflake-looking things that are blowing in the wind. Icicles starting to form on the siding of the house

[Matthew70]

We have nice fluffy snow coming down 

[TellicoWx]

Know plateau can sometimes dry things out on this side, but HUN radar seems to be "thickening up" in the lower atmospher

Yes my snow has turned to big flakes and our yard is white.  I live near Cedar Buff area. Dimes

to Nickel size Snowing harder than anytime during the main storm.

What's your elevation? I'm on that little peninsula bounded by Sinking Creek. Pellissippi, and the TN river but at 980 feet elevation. I remember during my lurking years that my observations at my apartment in Hardin Valley were similar to yours with usually just a tick less snow, so I assumed you were maybe on a hill or in a slightly colder spot in that area

It is a mist here where I am at near Fountain City. Down to 25. Slicker than snot out there. Poor dog was sliding all over the deck.

Thank goodness school was closed. Going to be rough out there in the morning/day with temps below freezing. 

[TellicoWx]

Definitely freezing drizzle..trees starting to get that glistening look to them

[Silas Lang]

Or I guess it is a drizzle? Like you can barely see it squinting outside, but it is actually falling at a pretty good rate. Just tiny tiny droplets. 

[John1122]

Pretty moderate dimes and nickels falling currently. 18 degrees.

Never got to see the good flakes in north Knox, but ground got frosty at 24 degrees with all the frozen mist and mix.  Bracing for the cold week ahead, can't complain too much in east TN, could be worse.

My house is just 1000 feet.  I must have got lucky.  Even our roads are white.

Ummm...what is HUN radar picking up. Snow streaks to west are moving sw to NE...ones at radar are moving NNW to SSE...
