HOW MUCH SNOW FELL?

We received several reports and also picked up some Cocorahs reports for the region. Most of the region received a nice dusting to perhaps an inch or snow of snow from Thursday evening into Saturday night.

The highest snow totals we heard from were:

Beech Mountain with 5.3″

Sugar reported 4″

Farther southwest in the Smokies, snow totals were in the 6″-9″ range. (We saw video last night from Gatlinburg and things were quite nice.

Cataloochee Ski Area – 6″
