Smokies see significant snow throughout region with more on the way today.

More than 7 inches of snow fell yesterday in some areas of the Smoky Mountains wile other areas woke to less than 2 inches. Regardless of how much snow accumulation there is, drivers must be extremely cautious on secondary roads many of which have a layer of crusty ice underneath the fresh fallen snow.

Virtually all roads in the Great Smoky Mountains national park are closed due to snow and ice by the national park service.

Smokies see significant snow throughout region with more on the way today.

Schools and some businesses will be closed and meetings canceled for at least today and some into tomorrow as more snow is expected to fall in trace amounts today and cold temperatures will hinder any significant melting.
