valkhorn Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 A few scattered reports of 4-6" on the ground about an hour north of Knoxville in Union county. Still snowing here in West Knoxville pretty moderately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Rain picking up here but the temp is stubbornly refusing to move from 43. It was 41 at noon, 42 at 1pm and 43 at 2pm and ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Water coming out of the ditch across the road...need a flash food warning. Worst flooding since Hurricane Ivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvskelton Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Approaching an inch in Knoxville. Traffic downtown is horribly congested. TDOT may have dropped the ball on this as the roads don't look as if they were brined. Valkhorn, with the amount of water on the road before this event switched over to ice/snow I'm not sure brine have even been effective. I have family currently stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on Broadway trying to make it to Halls. Not having much success getting there, either. 2 inches of snow on the ground (by my very unexpert measurement on my front steps) and still snowing heavily in Church Hill, TN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, roads are an absolute mess right now. In all fairness, TDOT has a lot of work on their hands and the snow is now reported as heavy at TYS.

kvskelton Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 They don't brine roads when it's going to be rain changing to snow because the rain just washes away the brine before the first flake falls. They haven't brined any roads here either. Beat me to it! Sorry to repeat what you said, jburns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stovepipe Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Drove up to the Foothills Parkway right before the big change over and witnessed an incredible sleet storm, just got sandblasted at the first lookout point. During the drive back to Knoxville the bottom fell out and moderate to heavy snow began falling. The ground started getting white instantly, half inch to an inch of slush covered the roads in spots. It's a nice steady moderate snow now with smaller flakes than earlier. Very very happy with the outcome so far in east TN! Edit: Easily a half inch on the ground now, roads white at 4:30pm.

valkhorn Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 TDOT waited to brine the roads until the snow was actually falling because the rain was going to wash it away. Now they're brineing and plowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSNC Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Blacksburg (KFCX) radar back up, but in "degraded mode" for those who don't know. Significantly underestimating precip. Still cold rain here in W-S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 TDOT waited to brine the roads until the snow was actually falling because the rain was going to wash it away. Now they're brineing and plowing. That's likely salt and slag at this point, never seem brine put down on a wet surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
