John1122 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Rain showers have transitioned to snow showers here. Temp is 37 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Just had a heavy rain shower mixed with big fat wet snowflakes move through! It transitioned to mostly all snow at the tail end. This is definitely the latest that I’ve ever seen snow. Then a freeze warning for my area tonight. Just hard to believe that March and April have produced this much winter weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Rain mixing w snow here in Kingsport. Surely this has to be it for the snow. It has to end, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 A few snow flakes are flying outside in Honaker at the moment. It has to end soon, today is most likely the last snow of the season although there is the small likelihood of snow on the 20th. Beyond that taking my own words with a grain of salt I think we are in the clear for winter weather til October barring nuclear winter, a catastrophic volcanic eruption, or some other major unforeseen event that would affect our weather. I was conflicted over whether or not a trace of snow counted if it was only falling with nothing sticking but after reading over the definition it in fact does seem to be. Fortunately whenever it did snow it did at the very least stick for a time for me to record it as a trace so my records remained legitimate up until the last event a week ago which I only listed as a trace after the fact.

John1122 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 It's snowed most of the day today so far. I've seen it snow at this time of year before, but it's not a yearly occurrence by any means. The fact that it's now snowed on multiple different April days is even more rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Just had a heavy snow shower roll through that dusted roof tops and decks. Vis was under 1/2 mile for about 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 37 now with "mix" showers coming through. The top of Big A mountain is white. (The mountain on my cover photo.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach B Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Had some snow in the air down this way earlier this morning. Loaded up the stove with a mix of red oak, locust, and bois d'arc before I left. That's a mid-winter mix of serious hardwoods. Come on spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 NW flow snow has been fairly enhanced most of the afternoon. Will have photos soon. Though may have to clear out some old posts to post them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Even some snow in Knoxville this AM and on my way home. Caught a "snow-bow?" on my way to work. Is that even possible? It was a rain/ snow mix in the valley, so I imagine it had to be all snow at cloud level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The snow picked up and was moderate to heavy this afternoon. It's still snowing at a pretty good clip and the temp is 32 degrees. I didn't remotely expect this this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 That's all my photo posts until I can go back and remove some. What a crazy spring for winter weather in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 It flurried off and on all day here until around 3:30 when the snow really picked up and lasted till about 5:30. Even got a nice heavy dusting that is now melting off. The temp fell to 32 with the snow and still holding there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Even been snowing near downtown Knoxville for the past 3 hours. Went out for a run and it really started peppering down toward the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 There's a solid 3 inches of snow above 2500 feet and 1.5 here. Snow is still falling steadily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 A good dusting of snow has settled on the ground in the past 40 minutes. At times the snow fell pretty heavily and during the snowfall the temperatures dropped from 34 to 29 as of now. 1 or 2 more squalls and I may have something measurable. I might post a few pictures later but I have to compress them first. What a wild spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The snow continues at a steady pace here. The lower elevations have a dusting at around 12-1300 feet. 1750 which is my area, is up to around 2 inches and I'd guess 3.5 to 4 above 2500 where temps are in the 20s right now. The flow is almost due west and it's causing Cross Mountain enhancement as the air gets forced up by the 3600 foot peak. It's a microclimate here where areas can get both NW flow and W flow snow. There are even N flow areas here as Cross Mountain runs north to south and Pine, Black and Walnut mountain run SW to NE and moisture gets wrung out from several directions.

Blue Ridge Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've been under a training snow shower for roughly an hour that has dumped an inch of snow. Absolutely ripping at the moment with gusts to 25 mph. (FYI: I'm situated higher than Greeneville proper at roughly 1900 ft.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Been at 28 degrees for 5 hours. Probably not going to do any favors to the apple trees that had bloomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Bottomed out at 30 here overnight. I looked at my blueberries in full bloom, and while they didn’t look happy, I don’t think they’ll be hurt too much. At least I hope. I’m glad I didn’t have any tomatoes planted yet.

BlunderStorm Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 It reached a low of 28 here some snow remains from yesterday but is quickly disappearing. I don't mind cold temperatures but it would be good to see the trees green once again sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxjagman Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Almost a 50 degree swing today from the morning low to afternoon high in the Mid Valley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Ridge Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Downsloping winds = dry but useless days. Sunday night was absolutely wild. We were at a B&B in rural Sevier County and I awoke to the distinctive sound of our well-built structure being tested by extremely strong gusts. At breakfast the following morning, another guest claimed to have measured a gust of 71 mph with his handheld anemometer. Take that for what it's worth.

EastKnox Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I don't know if the attached video will be viewable, but current radar is interesting to me- west to east motion on the plateau with south to north motion in the Apps.
