Around 8:30 AM in between weather cut-ins on Good Morning America Storm Tracker showed some very light radar returns moving in from the north. After work this morning I made my way to Hartsville to talk to the 3rd and 4th graders at Trousdale County Elementary. Sure enough, I drove through flurries for a couple of minutes eastbound on I-40 between Mt. Juliet and Lebanon. Like most of the morning, we’ll enjoy sunshine the rest of the day. More on that flurry from the Nashville NWS:
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1989 THAT SNOW HAS BEEN OBSERVED ON THIS DATE IN THE NASHVILLE AREA. A TRACE OF SNOW ALSO FELL IN 1989. HOWEVER…ON THIS DATE IN 1988…1.6 INCHES OF SNOW FELL. THE AVERAGE DATE OF THE FIRST SNOWFALL…TRACE OR MORE…IN THE NASHVILLE AREA IS NOVEMBER 24TH. THE AVERAGE DATE OF THE FIRST HALF INCH OR MORE IS JANUARY 3RD. SNOWFALL RECORDS DATE BACK TO THE WINTER OF 1884 AND 1885…WHEN THE ARMY SIGNAL CORPS BEGAN KEEPING RECORDS IN NASHVILLE.
