Snow in Sevierville? (live, moving, smog)

[wildmaven]

I just searched through 25 threads with the word Sevierville in the title and haven't found what I'm looking for.

When we moved to WA state, we checked city-data.com for information on snowfall in our town. The snowfall seemed to be something we could live with. Since moving here, we've found that every winter the locals say "it's not normally like this" one ice/snowstorm after another. Now I don't know whether to base our relocation plans on what we see.

Could the locals please give me your impression of the snowfall and ice storms in the Sevierville area over the past couple of years?

On a side note, I saw people referring to the "awful smog" in Sevierville, but every picture I see of the place shows perfectly clear skies.

Though not a local, I can say with confidence that Sevierville gets very little snow. While their annual snowfall average (for the period 1955-2007) is 5.2", over the past 20 years they've received an average of just 2.6" and in only one year has the total snowfall exceeded 7".

Straight from the official source:
Monthly Total Snowfall, SEVIERVILLE 1 SE, TENNESSEE

Hardly ever snows. If it does a 64th of an inch, it melts by noon. If it snows a one half inch, the cities close down. That happens once every 5 years.
