Knox News visual reporters prepared for Knoxville’s initial snowfall of the year on Jan. 10 to seize winter enchantment across East Tennessee.
Just a snowball’s toss away from downtown Knoxville’s tribute to activity − the only entity reflecting sunlight on Jan. 10 − Mabel Vinson gathers fluffy snow from a bridge above World’s Fair Park and forms it into a sphere similar to the one looming behind her. The jovial tossing of snow that followed was merely a glimpse of the enjoyment occurring all over the city, from a South Knoxville snow angel being formed in the roadway (watch below) to slopes throughout town being scaled by anxious parents and adventurous youngsters on sleds and saucers.

Knoxville weather: Watch sledding, snowball fights in winter storm
Nearly a year after a winter storm struck Knoxville in January 2024, another significant storm has arrived, bringing up to 6 inches of snow.
Another winter paradise forming in Oak Ridge
Some individuals are just made differently. What’s your secret, Oak Ridge? A jog around Melton Lake Park while picturesque scenes unfold around you? I suppose it’s one of the fascinating aspects of snow in this area. Nobody minds if the snow is the “correct” slickness for sledding or firmness for snowmen. If it’s snowing in East Tennessee, it’s a winter paradise, and we will always discover ways to have fun − even if it includes exercise. However, emergency officials caution against driving unless absolutely essential. Just snuggle up and appreciate the weather! Jan. 11 will mark the first morning that we awaken to snow covering the ground in Knoxville this season. Check the current road conditions if you absolutely must venture out.

Do you recall the “snowmageddon” of January 2024? Anthony Burgin, a nine-year veteran of the city’s public works department, was present assisting in clearing Knoxville streets. On Jan. 10, he was back on the job once more.
Inviting our very own Allie Feinberg and Caitie McMekin on a plow truck for a tour around the city, Burgin likened the large flakes hitting his windshield to a scene straight out of “Star Wars.”
