The brutal cold is the big story. More on that in just a bit. First, quick note about the snow.

Light snow showers across the area have been stubborn to dissipate today with some sites still reporting light snow or flurries ongoing this afternoon. So a dusting or a quick half inch of snow isn`t out of the question still through this afternoon, but all of this should wind down within the next few hours. NWS Nashville

If you get a quick burst of snow, roads can deteriorate quickly on a local level, even if just for a few minutes. Take it easy out there. read more

We have a Winter Weather Advisory for both of our counties from noon Thursday – 9am Friday.

• Ice accumulations up to 0.1″ possible…
• “Travel conditions remains treacherous in some locations owing to lingering snow cover” – NWS Nashville
• “…additional ice and snow accumulations will exacerbate these conditions.” – NWS Nashville

Across our counties, probabilities for >0.01″ of ice accumulation range from 30 – 70%.

Ice is a lot different from snow. All it takes is a glazing of ice to cause issues on the roads. read more

Snow Totals Vary 5.5″ to 9.5″. Snow fell unevenly. Elevation and location skew results. I’ve seen 5.5″ to 9.5″ in our replies. An average winter in the last 30 years delivered 4.7″. Snowfall is ending now and should be gone after dark. Send measured snow taken from hard surface (not grass) by tagging it with #tSpotter on Twitter. read more
