Snow with huge flakes arrived in Chattanooga just after dark on Saturday.

However, it later tapered off, leaving mainly car windshields white in the valley.

There was more snow on the higher elevations, but it began to melt quickly when the sun came out on Sunday.

Snow  continued off and on throughout the night before ending early Sunday morning.

The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office temporarily closed Roberts Mill Road and the W Road due to inclement conditions. The roads were reopened on Sunday morning.

Temperatures were to remain cold through the week, dropping to as low as 24 on Wednesday night.

Another round of snow showers is in the forecast for next weekend.
