A winter storm blanketed parts of the South with quick-falling snow, freezing rain and sleet, tying up some roads in Tennessee as the system tracked a path through Appalachia toward the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
The storm began hitting greater Nashville on Thursday morning. About 1.5 to 3 inches of snow was reported for most for of the area by late morning, according to the Nashville Weather Service in Nashville, with areas south of the city seeing the freezing rain and heavy sleet.
Authorities urged people to travel only when necessary, as Metro Nashville Police reported accidents and other driving woes that snarled and slowed several roads. Police reported dozens of wrecks on the road by the early afternoon. A section of Interstate 40 was closed due to a tractor trailer fuel spill crash, according to police, just one of the issues plugging up interstates in the city.
First lady Jill Biden, meanwhile, had to cancel her trip planned for Thursday to view damage from last month’s tornado in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
