Winter Storm Watches issued in middle upper counties of TN.

WBIR has our area forecasted for 3 to 5 inches of snow on the evening of Feb 19. I'm in Oak Ridge, TN.

Carver, you meant February, right?

We have a light dusting so far in Oak Ridge TN, with a steady snow/sleet/rain falling. 35 degrees. We also have biscuits in the oven and sausage gravy on the stove. Smelling good up in here:)

I'm almost 70 years old and have lived in East TN most of my life. The Feb 1996 storm that you mention John, is the most memorable to me as far as the snow and cold. You couldn't see grass or pavement for about 2 weeks here in Oak Ridge. 22 inches was measured at my house and it snowed off and on for a week. It was very cold and and I've never seen snow come down that hard. We were in sledding heaven! The blizzard of 93 pales in comparison as far as Oak Ridge goes, IMO. Though the thundersnow was awesome and the snow was deep, it went away quickly.

Wow. It is snowing so hard right now! Beautiful!!! Oak Ridge, TN

Finally changed over to snow. Took the dog for a walk just now and we're almost 3 inches.

Actually just went outside and there's a light rain falling. Is it expected to turn to snow in my area, I hope? I guess the ol warm nose decided to move north of I-40. I'm in Oak Ridge.

This dry slot stuff confuses the crap out of me when the radar is showing snow.

I'm surprised too. It's been cold and snowing all day, but not accumulating as I expected. With that said. I'm hoping the heavier returns I'm seeing will continue. Currently 28 degrees. I live at one of the highest elevations, and we usually see a little more accumulation than elsewhere in town.

Just got out and measured several places. Exactly 1.5 inches. Oak Ridge, TN

I'm in Oak Ridge too and it's really coming down at a good rate and accumulating. I'm thinking we have about 2 inches but not sure. If I weren't watching Gunsmoke right now (and constantly looking out the window at the same time lol) I'd get off my lazy butt and get outside with my ruler. This snow is beautiful!!

It started snowing in Oak Ridge, TN around 10:45am. Very fine flakes but steady. I'd consider what we have on the ground to be a heavy dusting.
