Light snow here. Future radar shows the lake moisture snow arriving overnight. No idea if it actually will or not.

10.125” final Greeneville! I’m so unbelievably happy. Grateful to have cashed in big on this one. Good enough for our best snowstorm in nearly 30 years!

Dont bother submitting your reports to MRX. They have 3" as the official report for Tellico.

I feel you there. They'll put out a wildly inaccurate map at some point.

Moderate snow in Sweetwater, heaviest of the night.

Steady pixie snow here as well. Picked up about 1/4th inch in the last two hours.

Driving back from the UT game, nice snow showers on 75 S. I assumed this was lake effect snow coming from the northwest?

On the way home earlier this evening the shield of snow finally relented around 7:30. Roads were with little exception entirely white but kept traversable. Fortunately though, I didn't witness any crashes or spinouts. When I got back and went to measure snow depth was very variable anywhere from 5-9" with a mean around 6.5". Later after 10 snow showers returned and added a bit more atop. For the sake of records I will mark it as 7" although this is one of the shakiest all snow measurements I've done. As far as my memory serves this felt like the most impressive winter storm I've seen since maybe 2015. 8F and completely calm. Flurries falling.
