Claiborne County was spared the worst of Winter Storm Fern as it rolled across the state this past weekend. Locally, one to two inches of snow fell on the county Saturday afternoon and evening before freezing rain over night left a glaze of .10 to .20 inches and caused slippery conditions into the early morning hours of Sunday.Sunday brought heavy rains and a high temperature near 40 that melted the previous day’s snow and ice and led to some flooding concerns. Then a hard freeze overnight and an additional 1/2-inch of snow covered just about every outdoor surface.Claiborne County Schools were closed at least Monday and Tuesday due to the inclement weather. Citizens, out of an abundance of caution, Claiborne County Government will be closed Monday, January 26th. Due to overnight temperatures being forecast to 10 degrees and below causing roadways to refeeze overnight coupled with the daytime temperature forecast to not rise above freezing all county offices will be closed. This closure includes all courts and solid waste convenience centers locations including the landfill.
