Looks like Dan may have broken into the negative single digits this AM:

Definitely some chilly spots with snow cover this AM:

not too often the IR picks up snow cover in the purples in East TN

I'm on a Ridge so just 6 here. Down in the Valleys around Rose Hill are typically some of the coldest in the County so, that stations reading of -1 most likely accurate.  -30 readings reported back in Feb. 96 in Rose Hill.

Great event for the north Johnson City area!  I was in Tazewell for the event visiting family and made my way back that night just after the main event passed.  I caught these pictures Christmas afternoon with the convective snow bands coming through.  If you were fortunate enough to have been under these you will know how fun they were.

Ended up with around 5” total.  The cold was also very impressive as we worked into the single digits this AM.

About the same amount of snow I had. Less in places. 
 

Beautiful

Is this in NE Tennessee or Sevier Co? One of my good friends lives on top of Bays Mt in Sevier Co.

Bays Mountain Park in Kingsport.  Some of the "peaks" there are 2,280-2,400(max) feet.  Pretty cool place.  There is actually an elevated valley in the middle of two ridges - pretty rare geological formation(valley in the top of a mountain).  Just looks like one ridge as you drive by on I-26.  It used to be Kingsport's water supply.  We were at about 2,000' in the phot.  Great place to ride mountain bikes, run, or hike.  Also has a nice nature center and planetarium.   Most of the arms of the lake were ice covered today.

Maybe we get bonus snow from the snow showers moving through 

London north and more so east, usually do really well on those. I was shocked to actually cash in on a couple decent streamers yesterday. How much more did you pick up?

Made a trek to Middlesboro this afternoon . Along the way you could see differences in amounts but, not frequent, generally a couple miles apart.

      The greatest visually estimated depth was about 2 miles west of Jonesville, 6 to 8" (Pines were weighed down) reaching about 2 miles b4 lowering to 4 to 5" until reaching Ewing of which 5 to 6 " appeared to be the amounts from there to Middlesboro.
