Is it melting in all the puddles?

Those puddles are like black holes bro.  Vacuum flakes right up.

I walked onto i40 for this pic lol. It's actually a fairly powdery dry snow compared to last Sundays

No truck stop on my exit so trucks are parking anywhere they can

Agreed, that one will go down in the forum history books.  Jim Cantore level s***

[VOLtage]

I'd love to know what the rates are right here:

There are 60 dbz returns on HTX radar approaching Lynchburg. Marked as snow on precipitation depiction. That would be incredible if true. I have to imagine there is some sleet in it though.

My phone isn't fast enough to catch the flakes without making them look like streaks! 

[John1122]

I just heard a low muffled rumble but the closest lightning appeared to be in NE Alabama. Could have been a plane but they virtually never cross my area low enough to hear. 

[PowellVolz]

Nice returns now moving up the valley

[ShawnEastTN]

So close to wet bulbing right at freezing. That burst of big flakes started the first signs of accumulation imby.

Now I've got some moderate sleet going, with some flakes mixed in.  Already have a sloppy dusting on surfaces.  Temp 34.7 Dew 30.

[John1122]

Is this ptype remotely correct in the valley?

Think it is bright banding based off CC, but if not somebody's still getting smoked

[Jed33]

Getting some light sleet here now. Temp 37.

I don't know about Farragut, but at Pellissippi and Northshore it's frozen falling.

I’ve got sleet and snow. About 50/50 right now.

Finally seeing some precipitation near Karns area. Looks like it is mostly sleet with some snow mixed in at the moment.

Ice quake maybe?

[Shocker0]

Temperature has went up a degree to 30° here

[Save the itchy algae!]

I’m leaving the hospital in Powell now and it’s light rain and 36.  Will give update on way home to Farragut.

I don't think it's been cold enough for that here but maybe.

Around an inch up here in Morgan County and rippin'.
