Knoxville Snow Depth Record

Knoxville confirmed the following this past week:

4 consecutive days with 6" or more of snow on the ground (January 15-18)
7 consecutive days of 4" or more of snow on the ground (January 15-21)

Snow depth data for Knoxville goes back to January of 1910

For 6" depth, this is the 2nd longest stretch, behind only February 2-6, 1996

For 4" depth, this is the longest stretch on record

Our office also had 7 consecutive days with 4" or more of snow on the ground, but our data only goes back to the 1995-1996 winter
