Snow melts at different rates at different places, most of it probably melted today, but some stubborn snow/ice could hold on until tomorrow.

Wind Chill Advisory Through Sunday Morning
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 NashvilleIf 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.
Freezing Rain Possible Throughout The Evening, Wind Chill Advisory Overnight Friday

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″.

Hazardous Road Conditions + Dangerously Cold Temperatures. Snow Continues Thru The Evening.
Sunday Night Update: It’s Snowing. Winter Storm Warning Until Tuesday AM, Hazardous Traveling Conditions, Dangerous Cold
Well…it’s snowing.
As expected, snow has quickly accumulated across the area and road conditions are quickly deteriorating. If you don’t have to get out, please don’t. If you must get out, please, take it slow, leave plenty of room, and *clean the snow off the top of your car*. Snow on top of vehicles can become aerodynamic ice missiles, and you do not want that flying thru a windshield.
