Winter Weather in Scott, Tennessee

Two inches of snow and an unknown amount of freezing rain fell in Scott County during the two distinct periods of precipitation, with wintry mix in the first bout, then rain, then snow to end.

Broad scale upper lift led to a complex winter storm across East Tennessee, with onset precipitation of snow transitioning to freezing rain before ending as rain as the temperatures rose through the evening, night, and following morning. This storm led to 7 fatalities in East Tennessee. On the morning of the 25th the strengthening low level jet that was advancing warm air northwards led to a high end mountain wave wind event in portions of the East Tennessee mountains.
