Snow Moves Out, Bitter Cold Lingers Across Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky

-

- Advertisment -

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A light dusting of snow swept across Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky overnight, leaving a thin blanket of snow in its wake. While most areas reported only a coating to a half-inch, higher elevations on the Cumberland Plateau saw slightly more accumulation. Jamestown, for example, reported 2 inches, while Jackson County, located southeast of Gainesboro, received 1 inch of snow.

Despite the modest snowfall, the bigger story Monday morning was the extreme cold. Temperatures plummeted overnight, with much of the region experiencing lows in the single digits. In some areas, the mercury dropped below zero, prompting concerns about icy roads and hazardous travel conditions.

The early morning chill caught many off guard, with reports of frigid conditions lingering throughout the day. As temperatures struggle to climb above freezing, local officials are advising residents to exercise caution when heading out, particularly on untreated surfaces where ice may be present.

As the snow clears and the cold persists, residents are urged to stay prepared for the ongoing winter conditions. Forecasters are monitoring the region closely for any additional developments, though the immediate forecast calls for gradually warming temperatures later in the week.
