Down here in Maury County (Columbia) I now have over 8 inches of snow as measured on my front sidewalk. The snow has stopped and now the ice pellets are falling.

We received over 4 inches of snow between 9:30a.m. and 12:30p.m. The snow then started slowing until the ice pellets kicked in about 3:00p.m.

This is my front yard at 12:30p.m. looking down the road. Sidewalk with snow
Those steps (barely visible at the bottom of the photo) are now (at 4:40p.m.) completely covered.

We were watching WSMV at noon and couldn't believe how little snow Nashville had gotten. It seems as if the storm shifted somewhat to the south, as Columbia was predicted to get only 1-3 inches of snow during last nights 6:00p.m. news broadcast. Oh well... I don't mind the snow... But the 1/4 inch of ice that is underneath it can be a problem if I really did have to go anywhere.

Stay safe, stay armed,

Yeah, that’s amazing you guys had that much dumped on you, especially considering you’re south of us. The snow didn’t even completely cover the top of the grass until maybe 1 or 2 pm. It’s still very light snowfall, we didn’t have it super-heavy, just light and consistent. It looks like it’s at around 2 1/2 inches as of about 5pm.

The worries of some of that ice you’re receiving may move north and hit us overnight, and that will be a mess. Even with our “modest” 2 inches, there had been about 60 traffic accidents reported (on the 4pm news on WKRN). My street gets priority to be cleared because it is an emergency vehicle route, so the salt trucks came by earlier in the afternoon. For a little while, the cars were driving just at or slightly below the speed limit, but they’re clearly going much slower now.

Does this remind you of the mid-1950s when we lived up there?
