I've still got my fingers crossed that I'll be able to mark off that bucket list item of seeing a one foot snowfall in Nashville!

tv 2 got knocked off by thunder snow 

[jdpilot]

Thunder and lightning just now in downtown Nashville! Prior to today, I had only experienced that about 4 times (all in North Carolina, though).

[jaxjagman]

people here dont know what snow is its been so long think they can drive in it,wrecks everywhere

[John1122]

Waiting on the next round of heavy precip, curious to see if it's gonna be rain again or if it will go right back to snowing. Guess I'll know in a minute or three.

[jaxjagman]

wanna hear some t-snow,radar is looking nice sse heading this way

That radar is really juicing to the SSE.  Returns look heavier and more full every update all the way clear to Birmingham.  Several hours of heavy snow for you!  That is a beautiful sentence.

[John1122]

Well so far it's back as light sleet. Hopefully the heavy stuff will get the snow cranking again.

[John1122]

Seeing 3+ inch reports already out of Nashville. Super impressive rates with this thing if you can get it started snowing.

[Vol Man]

The Smartway traffic cams in Nashville are a sight right now!!

Well I found my entertainment for the day.  Believe I'm going to queue up some Yakkity Sax and watch people try to drive in this.  Hope I have enough popcorn on hand.

[ShawnEastTN]

Heavy Ran mixed with sleet ATM sitting at 35...  I didn't expect sleet mixing in in the valley already.  Though i'm under a heavy return currently.

Inglewood has reports of 5 " so far,moderate here

[Stovepipe]

People getting out of there cars and walking on I-24 east of Silliman Evans bridge.  Absolute chaos.

Mostly sleet with snow mix here all morning..Finally started snowing with some good size flakes about 20 min. ago but now mixing again..uggg

About whats happened to us,believe John had the same prob

[Stovepipe]

The Briley Parkway cams are nuts.  Already a number of disabled vehicles and people walking.  Cars stuck in the middle of the road with people trying to drive around them on both sides.  I'm seeing a few morons driving way too fast.  There are going to be a LOT of people stranded.

It's all about rates here. When it was heavy we had heavy snow. When it lightens up it goes to sleet.

Lol..Pretty much nothing now..Dry slot i guess..Temp went up 1 degree..Hoping to warm up a little more so rates may be better if this makes sense..Whitley co. must have gotten a good ice storm first..Have heard reports of limbs breaking and power off in parts of Knox co..

[John1122]

It's fun to watch the traffic cams from west to east in Nashville area. The far west areas look to have at least 5 inches and it's just getting rolling on the far east cams.

[Stovepipe]

On a side note, I don't believe these forum servers are going to be able to handle the load today.  Hope I'm wrong.
