Sun came out and I had the heaviest snow of the day lol. 

Spiked lapse rates.

Models are trying to drum the late week clipper up into something. It's been showing up with a similar snow footprint to this. 1-2 inches on the Plateau, border N areas, more in Kentucky and the mountains.

That's how it looked here when the temp was around 31. Now the flakes here are small.

I’m in a terrible spot for NW flow. Down sloping off of Anderson Co kills me unless we have a good deal of low level moisture.

I'm at the Dollar general in the West side of Oak Ridge and I can confirm. A good dusting on the grass

I hear you! My location in the NW corner of Hamblen/Hawkins is the same way. Clinch Mtn downslopes me just about every time.

However ATM I’m in a pixie dust storm. 1/4 mile visibility. Looks like what I’ve seen during these events in a cabin up above Wears Valley. 

[PowellVolz]

This right here up towards @John1122is actually moving towards me. If I can get some training setup i might pick up a quick 1”…

Our ground has turned white here in West Knoxville and the roads are getting a white glaze on them.  If Temps drop fast and this continues much longer there will be problems. Snowing harder now than I have seen it all day.

It comes down pretty hard in the bands. 

[Uncle Nasty]

We had 3 separate 5 minute flizzards. 

 

At this time, Im hoping for a big enough plume of moisture  to sneak NW and manage 1" to cover the roads on Tuesday.  If that happens, we'll have white roads and green grass.

[John1122]

RGEM/Canadian scored this win. 

This doesn't appear on the radar until it's south of me. Low DGZ activity. 

 

[nrgjeff]

Chatty had flurries and snow showers during the 4:00 pm hour. Not much attm.

Oh yes, everyone please post more slow-motion snow videos. Slo-Mo is the new obligatory deck photo, haha!

[John1122]

This band is humming. It's actually managed to show up on radar. 

 

[John1122]

This is the ground reality of that band down in LaFollette.

 

 

[Matthew70]

My son at ETSU has a lot of snow coming down & easily 2”.  Much more than they called for.

My son is at ETSU also, but I haven’t heard from him…….(shrug)

Saw on the Cams over that way. Upslope making it over the Cumberlands picking up moisture from the Valley and dumping as it begins upsloping there .

Amazing, as looked at the cam there around 6 and they had nothing then..some heavy bands and steamers around.

RGEM is tough to beat for the area. Hrrr , Sref and Nam 3k did their usual too warm over downsloping stuff. 

[Carvers Gap]

Just looking at photos from Bristol, TN/VA, it looks like they go 2-4".  We have a dusting IMBY.  Upslope is not my game.  Pretty good thump in eastern Sullivan though.  They have been scoring all winter.  RGEM with the score yet again.  The GFS at very short range wasn't bad.  Portions of extreme NE TN and SW VA have been hammered.

[Jed33]

Been under a decent streamer somehow for a little while. The road has turned white guessing we have close to a half inch now.

[Silas Lang]

Man everything is white here now. Really surprised by this. The stream down 75 has been legit going down into Knoxville. 

[John1122]

It's down to flurries here now. I've got about 2.5 inches of fluffy powder. Driving across LaFollette earlier, areas under persistent streamers had 1 to 1.5 inches in swaths about 2 miles wide. Outside of them it was more 1/2 to 3/4ths inch. Don't often see them so narrow like that.  

[Daniel Boone]

Every heavy Streamer and shower missed my home tonight. Only a heavy dusting ! Pennington gap just 3 Miles NNE of me as a crow flies, has gotten several heavy Streamers and picked up 3 inches Tonight. What fell this morning there had melted earlier as they hadn't gotten much being around just 1400 ft ele. Here's a link to Cam. 

[Matthew70]

Son at ETSU has been under moderate snow for awhile now.  I’d say by his pics easily 4”.  MRX sure missed their forecast.

If you got under one it's pretty impressive. JKL mentioned them in their AFD when they talked about potential snow squall warnings yesterday. They were connected to some Lake Michigan moisture. They were small here. 2 or 3 miles wide at times. Places under them have 3ish inches.
