First flurries of the season fall in East Tennessee

Hello mid-November, and hello to the first signs of winter weather in East Tennessee!

The 'bread and milk' alarm sounded quietly for East Tennessee on Thursday as the first true signs of winter fell in parts of the area.

As expected, the rain and colder weather that arrived overnight transitioned into some light, pretty snow flurries for the northern reaches and higher elevations of East TN.

Be cautious when driving on overpasses and bridges through the morning. While ground-level roads will be too warm to ice up, people in Scott County reported icy conditions and saw some collisions on overpasses. Keep the 'bridge ices before road' signs in mind!

McGhee Tyson Airport even reported light flurries. It was reported later as trace amounts, officially making it the first time in four years the airport had seen snow in the month of November.

People shared photos of their dusted porches and vehicles in places like Rutledge, Crossville and Tazewell.

As Thursday night goes on, the rain and flurries will move out, and cloudy skies will be replaced by a much sunnier one for Friday and Saturday.

Also, let's all take a moment to be thankful that we're not in a place getting significant snowfall, like Missouri or the western reaches of TN:
