KNOXVILLE TIES A RECORD LOW...but not what you may think.

Knoxville TIED a Record Low as we walked out the door at 11:44 PM Late Tuesday night.  Last night ties the Record Low from 1987, when Ronald Reagan was President.

Tuesday’s Almanac

MAXIMUM   54°    12:16 AM

This is in addition to having “the Earliest Recorded Snowfall of 1.0” or Greater” ❄️ 1.7” since Knoxville records have been kept in 1871.  Thank you, NWS-Morristown for keeping track.

This morning’s record low of 17° (1911) was NOT achieved, but as Captain Accurate had said in LAST SATURDAY'S BLOG...“I’ll Be Close.”  We made up for it, in many cases, with single-digit wind chills this morning.
