| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Heavy snow fell throughout most of northeast Tennessee. Most snowfall totals ranged from 5 to 10 inches. However, in the high mountain elevations of Johnson, Carter, Greene, Cocke, Sevier and Blount counties, as much as 2-3 feet of snow fell. 3-4 feet was reported on top of Roan Mountain in Carter county. The heavy wet snow resulted in numerous power outages in northeast Tennessee, with as many as 100,000 people with out power at one point. A man in the Hartford community in Cocke county was killed when a snow-laden barn collapsed on him. The roof of the island gas pumps at a market in Elizabethton (Carter Co.) collapsed due to the weight of snow. |
