    Something that’s interesting to me is the snow is falling much harder than what the radar is indicating IMO. .

    Really coming down now. Video doesn’t really show how hard it’s snowing .

    FYI... getting sleet and rain in Knoxville now. I’d say out in N Knox Co it’s mostly snow. .

    Tellico is beautiful. .

    He is just high enough and close enough to the mountains to get a similar climate to the mountains in these type events. .

    Lots of healthy looking moisture gathering on the Tenn/Ky line moving your way. 30-40db showing up and that should be all snow. .

    I always enjoy your updates, mostly because I love the area you are in. Spent a lot of time on 129 camping and stuff. .

    Snow reports down to the Alabama boarder assuming it’s not fake news.

    I think you are in a good spot. My area always does better when we see the flow out of the NNW. The mountains in Morgan/Anderson Co cause too much downsloping for me in a NW flow. .

    IMO.... areas that are upper 30’s will fall several degrees when that moderate band in Kentucky moves into ETn. It will start out as rain but as the rates pick up it should change over. .

    Sure is. https://www.resortcams.com/webcams/ober-gatlinburg-tram/ .

    I’m actually in Halls off Hwy 33. My username is from where I grew up at. .

    I’m down to 38-39ish. My point and click showed temps staying in the low 40’s until 5pm when they would start to drop [emoji2369] .

    I live in N Knox Co about 10 min from Union Co. .

    Your temperature drop running ahead of schedule? .

    I think I said 3-6” yesterday and I lean more towards 6” now. I’ve been in 6-8 different rain to snow upslope events in Gatlinburg/Wears Valley. My favorite one..... sometime around January 2006 or 07’ on a Friday we played golf at Laurel Valley in shorts and polos. Finished up and started smoking ribs and a pork butt around 4pm. Cold front moves in around 6 and it starts to rain. Wind picks up to 40-50mph and we lose power. By 8pm it’s snowing high ratio squalls that was easily over an inch an hour. By midnight we 6”. The reason I remember this the most is because the wind had a sound that I will never forget and forecast had a few snow showers in it with no accumulation. .

    Anyway to tell what elevation the melting is occurring at there? .
  24. PowellVolz
    It’s really just depends on which way the mountain faces that you are on I’ve seen upslope events where you can see several inches of snow, drive a mile away at the same elevation and see just a dusting. At 2800ft, if you are facing in a good direction you could easily see 3-6”. Ober Gatlinburg ski area is usually a good location for orographic snows. .
  25. PowellVolz
    I don’t think it’s going to matter for us lower elevations people but it looks like I’m going to be 5-8 degrees below my predicted high temp. Might be a little CAD in the valley but it might make a big difference for you boys at or above 1,500ft. .
