Won't be a pretty sight. Visibility will suck. Don't get blown away.

Yeah, Rainbow falls trail offers the most coverage from wind. Unfortunately its the longest way up. If snow levels permit, we can enter in at a higher elevation. All depends on good old mother nature.

Ok, KTRI people. I know you are out there. I have tried to stay out of the fray, because I quite frankly refuse to believe snow is going to fall in valleys of NE TN in October in an accumulating manner. However, in an effort to balance my thoughts here is info from Morristown(TN) and HPC...

...STRONG WINTER WEATHER SYSTEM MOVING IN...

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN REGION THIS

WEEKEND. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE 30S ACROSS EAST

TENNESSEE...SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA.

A FEW NORTHERN LOCATIONS AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OVER THE EAST

MOUNTAINS WILL SEE OVERNIGHT LOWS REACH THE FREEZING MARK BEGINNING

SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH THE COLD AIR POTENTIALLY REMAINING IN PLACE

THROUGH THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK.

ADDITIONALLY...WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN

REGION ON SUNDAY AND BECOME BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY ACROSS THE

AREA...ESPECIALLY OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS...ON MONDAY. WITH HIGH

TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY ONLY REACHING INTO THE 40S OVER NORTHEAST

TENNESSEE AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA...WIND CHILLS WILL RANGE FROM THE

MID 30S TO LOWER 40S MONDAY AFTERNOON.

AS THE COLD AIR MOVES IN...LINGERING RAIN SHOWERS SUNDAY NIGHT WILL

LIKELY CHANGE OVER TO LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES...MAINLY OVER HIGHER

TERRAIN OVER SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND THE EAST TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS.

LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT.

HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF SANDY IS

EXPECTED TO REACH INTO THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT. THIS IS WILL GENERATE

SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS...MAINLY OVER SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA...NORTHEAST

TENNESSEE AND THE EAST TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS. ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL IS

EXPECTED...WITH THE HIGHER MOUNTAIN ELEVATIONS RECEIVING THE

GREATEST TOTALS...AND VALLEY LOCATIONS RECEIVING LIGHTER AMOUNTS.

Hey Carver, going to admit I'm stunned that the ultra conservative Morristown office issued that statement this early. Going to be fascinating to watch this storm have such a huge impact on so many different levels.

I second this statement. I believe impacts in the Tri-Cities will be greater than currently expected. Right now, local media is not latching onto this as well as MRX seems to be, and once they do, I can imagine a general panic will ensue, as is normally the case with the first storm of the year. To discuss 1+ feet of snow in the mountains in October, however, is insanely different.

I am going to Gatlinburg tomorrow and preparing to hike the summit of Mt Leconte. With a summit of 6594ft I have witnessed snow conditions change rapidly around 4500-5000ft, Snow at lower elevation can really make it impossible to get to the trail heads so sometimes higher elevation snows are a treat .I went for the first snow of the season several years ago, I hiked from a dusting of snow up to a foot at the summit. Around 850mb the snowline really picked up and there was 8" by 5000ft. I am worried about limited moisture despite enhanced upslope and decent 850mb moisture.

441 might be closed, so you'll have to go through either Brushy Mountain or one of the trails through Cherokee Orchard.

Greetings from western Pitt County, NC, stubbornly just outside the western edge of the precip shield, where forecasts had me picking up an inch of rain by now, with several more inches on the way. Storm total so far: .08". Precip shield still making zero progress inland. Oh well...
