Several trees and powerlines were blown down by severe thunderstorm winds.

The wider storm

A strong cold front produced a low end squall line of thunderstorms, which in turn produced several reports of damaging winds. After the cold front's passage, a much colder airmass moved in and snow showers developed, leading to light snowfall for much of northeastern Tennessee.

Began near Emory Hgts (35.9000, -84.5600).
