Historic Tennessee Valley Cold, Snow, and Ice Events

There was 14.5 inches here on March 2nd, 1942. We ended up with almost 80 inches here in the winter of 1959-60. 3 inches in December after a very warm month with the snow falling Dec 30th and 31st, 10 inches in January, 25 in February and 39 in March. -
Historic Tennessee Valley Cold, Snow, and Ice Events

On this day in 1960, 6 to 20 inches of snow fell across the area. It kicked off the most incredible run of snow ever seen in Tennessee/Kentucky/SWVa/Western NC. It would continue for over a month. On February the 18th/19th 1960, the Plateau and SE Kentucky got another 10-18 inches. The Mid-State, who had received 6-10 on February 13th, got another 6-10 on the 18th. Far eastern areas missed out on that one mostly, but March was going to hit and hit hard. -
The March 2022 snow was a Miller A, just timed up perfectly with a cold shot. We were in the 70s a few days before it arrived.

My grandfather was born in Leavenworth.

When we're warm, I watch the Mammoth area YouTube channels. They've gotten 17 inches in the last 24 hours. Which is light for them.

Returned from Chattanooga, the lake is still frozen and there's still snow on north/east facing areas. Probably won't survive tomorrow though.

My area tends to work the edges a lot. It's perfectly positioned for that. I am far enough east that I get snow from systems like this last one, but I'm also NW of the Cumberlands and far enough northwest that when cold fronts stall around the apps, I am on the eastern edge of winter events that are hitting the mid-state like those that happened a few years ago. One of the big things here is that other than Cross Mountain for the Caryville area, there's not mountains quite big enough to downslope my area like the far east gets.

I saw that. With the southeast trend, Jacksonville will probably get a foot.

Home. Chatty The wind here is very impressive.
-
Just got to Hixson. It was 36 with light snow when I left my house. It's 64 here.
-
Snow has started here. Sporadic flakes.
-
36 degrees and virga here.

With the amount of cold we've had at times since November, this would normally have been a 35-40 inch snow winter here. So it's definitely not been as good as it could have been from a frozen precipitation stand point for most of the state. 100 miles north in Kentucky, they're probably at 40+ inches this winter.

Actually getting light snow tonight. Didn't expect that.
-
I finished +1 for November, but with 2 inches of snow. -1 for December and -3 for January. It's been a brutal winter stretch here with two significant winter storms and multiple small events. Even with BN precip/drought, after last night, I've recorded 17 inches of snow since November along with 1/2 inch of sleet and near a half inch of ice. If you look back on winters here, there are often extremes within them. December of '84 was very warm, similar to this late December period, and then we had January of '85.
