Heavy Snow in Northwest Carter, Tennessee

Snow fell across Carter County, with 4 inches of snow measured by the public in Sadie. The COOP observer in Elizabethton recorded 2.5 inches of snow.

Low pressure cyclone passing to the south with upper level forcing induced a broad and significant snowstorm across the region, including East Tennessee, which experienced heavy snowfall. A frontogenesis band across southern Tennessee and northern Georgia helped power higher snowfall rates early into the event across southeastern Tennessee, resulting in locally heavier snowfall before warm air advection brought a changeover in precipitation type to icing and eventually to rain.
