I get it friend, officially we only got 7" (and Im 105 miles ENE of Tommy but we had snow drifts everywhere that ranged from 3' to 15'
Where did all that blowing snow come from?
A lot of it was the uplift into the higher elevations east of Nashville and north of Georgia. I remember people here said you could spot an area with no snow and right next to it 5' snow drifts.
The 25 anniversary (?) was recently and I remember reading about it in the local paper. The National Guard came in to dig people out and they got stuck in the 15' snow drifts.Some people were stranded for two weeks. Snow layed on the ground here for over a month after that March Storm. It happened 8 years after the coldest temps that have ever been recorded in Tennessee. It was -25f here and Magnolia Grandiflora trees burst and native plants died out. A bad time in weather history. The very next year after the storm of the century was a devastating Ice Storm that left people here without electricity for almost 3 weeks.
