...Wintry Conditions Overnight...

A wintry storm system will move across the Tennessee valley and
southern Appalachians through early Tuesday morning. Periods of
snow can be expected across southwest Virginia, all of east
Tennessee, and southwest North Carolina.

Across the Tennessee valley and lower elevations of southwest
Virginia, snow accumulations of one-half inch or so is possible,
mainly over grassy and elevated surfaces. As temperatures drop
into the 20s tonight, freezing of the wet roadways is possible
producing black ice and slushy snow may accumulate on bridges and
overpasses. However, most roadways will remain wet due to
relatively warm ground.

When traveling through early Tuesday morning, be prepared for
occasional reduced visibility due to the snow and localized areas
of snow and icy covered roadways. Drive with caution and slow
down. Give yourself extra time to reach your destination.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for
further details or updates.

There's an interesting feature on radar and WV imagery that may give one more umph to everything tonight:

WPC mesoscale analysis shows some 850 frontogenesis associated with it:

I have no clue what that is, but it does seem to be heading our way. Maybe fortune favors the greedy tonight?

Y’all the yellow returns just keep coming snd the wind is howling! You can’t even see the lights of downtown gatlinburg. I know the weather channel app is crap, but they’ve even upped it to 5-8 inches tonight. 
 

If these heavy returns continue then I think those amounts may be possible

You may need chains to safely get down from that mountain!

I sure hope we can make it down tomorrow. We are set to check out tomorrow and have to be out by 11. I know in the past they've typically plowed/salted/taken good care of the roads around these cabins, but I am definitely a little concerned about it. Hopefully all will be okay in the morning. I have a tacoma truck, but do not own chains.
