Wintry Jan 30-Feb 2 2021 ❄️ Potential

Made a quick run up to the Smoky Mtns. On Sunday morning drove through Cades Cove. Had to take I-40 through to get to other side as 441 was closed. Ranger said 4-5 inches of snow at Newfound Gap ...I think had fallen Friday. Nothing on west side of mountains. As we came into Maggie Valley, nothing really there until you start climbing out of town. Socco Gap had probably 1-2 inches on ground... from earlier as we drove Sunday afternoon. Stayed in Cherokee last night. Very little snow was spotted Sunday in Cherokee, but woke to a very light dusting but no travel issues. Could see snow on highest peaks.

Wondering how west side came out last night. Gatlinburg webcams look clear.

A little flizzard action on today trip back to GA, but no issues. Counties to north in GA under WWW. But will see if verifies.
 
It was wet this morning, so I guess it rained here. Hoping for a miracle snow shower at some point tonight, but we’ll see. A dusting is probably about the best case scenario, anyways, so no big deal either way. I’m a street sticker or bust kind of guy.
 
Local NWS felt the need to put this out....

they have all been nickle and dime events except for a 1 inch snow last week and 1 and quarter inch snowfall today. I count any day I’ve had snow fall from the sky as a snowfall Day. To answer your question I believe I’m now at 3.95 inches on the season now.

I'm not exactly sure whats official and what isn't, but today marks the 7th time I've seen flakes fall this season all amounting to nothing more than patches on the deck. Oh well.

It's like this past hurricane season, with all these small nuisances. Hopefully we can end this winter in a similar bang.
 
Just stuck my head outside and we have a little flurry action here by Lake Lanier. Wasn't expected to see any tonight (FWIW, my wife said she saw a few flakes this morning from her office upstairs, but I didn't see any until tonight).
