Just jumped to 31 now

Heaviest snow of the night falling. Quarter to half dollars falling.  

[1234snow]

Light snow has begun to fall here.

[Wintersnow888]

I have heavy sleet at 30....

[John1122]

[1234snow]

Appears to be snowing solidly in Lee County. Some strong returns there.

The Caryville, LaFollette, Jellico area looks the worst on Google Maps. Any cameras in these areas? 

One occasionally works at 134. 

[Runman292]

It doesn't look like the rain will be changing back over to snow here in Oak Ridge. Good luck to everyone else. I'm going to sleep.

That's what happened here before it switched to frz rain. Hopefully it won't for you. I just saw where Cookeville had went to huge flakes and then rain as well. If only we were all 5 degrees colder

[John1122]

4 inches down so far. Sleet is mixing in though. So I'm probably close to the end. Impressive thumping. 4 inches in roughly 3 hours.

Its changing to sleet, but I couldn't be happier. This was a 40 degree rain 4 or 5 days ago.

Just about 1/3-1/2in on the grass and vehicles. Coming down at a good clip still.

@TellicoWx A Tdot truck slid off the road on new 68 heading towards Tellico.

Definitely was (and still is...just wrong ptype) pumping it down fast. Would've been a cool one to see in the daylight. TWC shows Monterey randomly going back to snow at 3-4AM before it ends (light amounts). We are still 31 here but Crossville is reporting 32 and freezing rain.

Yeah exactly, me too. I think on Sunday our high was showing 46 here for today with an inch of rain. We have been on the good side of the "busts" this year for sure.

[Shocker0]

I still have sleet...I would even call it snow, mixing in. But it's like the very last gasp of a snowflake before turning into a raindrop lol.

[John1122]

Up to 31 with wet chunks of ice and melted flakes falling. 

[Kentucky]

heavy mix at 26

That's probably a better description of what's been falling here. Definitely a lot of freezing rain as well. There's almost no ice on the trees surprisingly though.

[John1122]

Much to my surprise back to about 50 percent big snow flakes. Think it's rate driven. 

[Scottie16]

WAA starting to roll through southern valley. Light rain falling in Vonore.

[1234snow]

Very surprised to see you with a mix at that temp.

Also surprisingly, all snow here and 32.

right, freezing rain coming down at a decent clip - 27 

[1234snow]

All rain now. Probably a half inch.

[fountainguy97]

32.2 and rain for a few hrs now. Lol.

[Uncle Nasty]

We were oh so close once again in the Chatty area. Went to bed it was 35* and sleet. Woke to 33* and rain in Ooltewah. Go figure.

 

The rain has washed away what looks to be a decent ground cover of sleet. Only remaining ice was in flower beds and on car windows.

 

Just arrived to work and it's a nice, steady rain at 34*.

I think I changed to rain around 1:45 AM. Got up, looked out, nary a snow flake. We probably got 2.5" before the changeover, enough so that everything is still covered in snow right now. 

[TellicoWx]

Kinda surprised, checked temp history and been at 35 past 3 hrs. Figured everything was gone, but went to get in the car and everything is still coated in a ice crusted slop of sleet.

[Carvers Gap]

An upper South skiff of sleet IMBY this AM.  

[Sweetpea Farms]

Good morning! Well, we got 4" of wet snow, our seventh visible accumulation snow event of the winter in southern Lincoln County 7 miles above Alabama, and our eighth winter weather event counting the ice storm, all in a "la Nina" year when it was forecast to be warm and dry. I also follow the signs of nature as well as the meteorology, and they pointed all autumn to this kind of active winter in direct contrast to seasonal forecasting. Annual snowfall averages for this place are < 1" normally.

But tomorrow pivot day finally arrives. By Tuesday, we will be enjoying the low 60s for several days.

Currently ground fog, 32, winds calm and barometer at 29.93 inHg. They say we may get some flurries but I'll bet if we get anything it will be rain.
