SUMMARY: Yesterday marked the season’s first snowfall in several East Tennessee counties, leading to crews monitoring weather and road conditions. Early Saturday, roads in Campbell County were mostly clear, although some slick spots and covered side roads remained, particularly on hills. The Tennessee Highway Patrol urged caution, but I-75 was clear with vehicles traveling at posted speeds. Campbell County Sheriff Wayne Barton reported no unusual incidents, thanks to the preparedness of local agencies. The county has 16 plows for nearly 700 miles of roads, although they don’t pre-treat. Residents are advised to stay home for safety.

SUMMARY: Crews worked overnight to treat roads in the area, and Megan Fee reports live from Antioch. Currently at Bakertown Road near I24 and Haywood Lane, she notes that major roads are mostly clear, with some snowy entry and exit ramps. However, secondary roads remain icy, posing challenges for drivers and pedestrians. While main roads and highways look good thanks to plowing and salting efforts, caution is advised, especially in neighborhoods where conditions are slick. Megan will continue to assess the road conditions around Antioch.
