Heavy Rain, Snow, Sub-Zero Temps Ring In the New Year In The Smokies
A fresh blanket of snow coats the mountains around Gatlinburg
2024 roared in like a lion for Sevier County as the calendar turned this new year. Just nine days into January heavy rains inundated Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville as the Little Pigeon River spilled from its banks. Just six days later, on January 15th, a winter storm first brought a wintery mix and later dropped a fresh blanket of snow on the Southern Appalachians.
The Cliff Branch breaches its banks and flows onto River Road.
The back-to-back weather systems caused widespread closings across the region. Many Sevier County schools have not been in session since January 9th and businesses closed for several days during this stretch. Despite the efforts of county road crews, many vacationers were unable to leave their rental properties due to snow and ice. Frigid temperatures also caused power outages and frozen pipes.
