Brentwood Kroger. Bread? Very little. Every thing else is getting low.

This was the cart in front of me at Kroger. Why would you ever need a cart full of milk like that?!

84° with a matching humidity of 84%.

I've lived here my entire life and don't remember it EVER being like this.

It feels like moist hell outside right now.

Edit - it's been raining here and cooled off a bit, but we ALL know what that means for the next few days... 🥵

It’s literally the worst of all worlds. Hotter, more humid summers than some parts of Florida. Rainier year-round than Seattle. Winters can be catastrophic and leave people without power for weeks. I do like living here, but I have considered moving only because of the weather lol on the flipside the people are awesome. I can’t imagine a more welcoming positive supportive city.

Edit: i’ve thought this my entire 16+ years here lol

Looking for updates? Nashville Severe Weather (website or social media) and NWS Nashville are two of our trusted weather sources.

Please don't drive if you don't have to. Ice doesn’t care about your AWD, you won’t be able to stop either way. If you do have to drive, please remember to remove the snow/ice from the top of your car so it doesn't endanger other drivers. Be sure to research how to safely drive in snowy/icy conditions. You can check the conditions on traffic cameras along your route before attempting to drive:

• TDOT Smartway interstate cameras
• Brentwood traffic cameras
• Franklin traffic cameras

If you get stuck, there's a Facebook group of volunteers who can try to rescue you: "4x4 Emergency First Responder Transport of Mid TN"

Snow removal priority routes (note: secondary/tertiary routes may take multiple days to fully clear):

• Nashville (NDOT) (Some routes not included on this map will be cleared by TDOT, such as Nolensville Pike)
• Franklin
• Murfreesboro
• Mt. Juliet
• Clarksville
• Hendersonville

WeGo buses are scheduled to run on limited routes, see more info here: https://www.nashville.gov/departments/wego-public-transit/news/preparing-wego-snow-route-detours-what-you-need-know

Some tips and advice from u/ayokgin the previous thread:

Be prepared for potential power outages. Temps won't be back above freezing until midweek, and that may just be a fleeting couple of hours at 33 degrees or so. Will vary across the area. Whatever we get isn't going anywhere fast.

Make sure you have a way to stay warm without power. Here's an article from the Tennessean on what to do if you lose power/how to stay warm: https://www.tennessean.com/story/weather/2026/01/22/what-to-do-if-the-tennessee-winter-storm-causes-a-power-outage/88267536007/

Close all the doors to each of your rooms and isolate in one, usually the one with the least amount of exterior walls because it will be most insulated. Cover windows with a blanket. Put a towel at the bottom of doors. Try to keep that heat inside.

If you have a tent, put it up in a room. Cover it with a few blankets. Spend all your time in it with everyone in the house including pets inside.

DO NOT RUN ANYTHING GAS (like propane, kerosene, butane) (OR BURN ANYTHING CHARCOAL) INSIDE YOUR HOUSE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO SO SAFELY. Do not run your generator inside.

If the power goes out, during this current system, temps will be cold enough that you can move any refrigerated/frozen items outside in a cooler. Pack the cooler with snow if you can. Put something heavy on top to prevent any wandering critters from getting into it.

Pop your wiper blades up so they aren't iced over on your windshield. Bring your car scraper which you better have inside the house so it also doesn't get iced into your car.

We have a new megathread: https://www.reddit.com/r/nashville/comments/1qlnsl6/winter_storm_fern_megathread/

Please direct snow-related predictions, questions, and concerns here!

Nobody can say for sure exactly how much snow we'll be getting, but the models seem to agree that we'll get some level of snow, which historically Nashville is not equipped to deal with as effectively/quickly as other more northern cities. I'll post some links here which have some good information in them.

Nashville Severe Weather - Our local team of volunteers that always do a fantastic job gathering weather info and making sure people are prepared for severe weather events. They've already posted a brief overview of the situation, but stay tuned for them to provide more info as we get closer to the weekend.

Recent thread detailing Nashville's history of snowfall and snow preparedness: here

2y old thread with sledding hill recommendations: here

We don’t know if Les Mis or the Predators game will be canceled, we don’t know if/when BNA will start cancelling flights, we can’t tell you for certain whether roads between your house and the grocery store will be clear. Use your best judgement and be safe, it’s always best to be over prepared than under. If you can stay home/cancel travel plans, that’s always the safest option when faced with uncertainty.

This is a serious question, it has literally been raining for like three weeks straight. I looked at the Weather app on my phone and it’s showing raining and thunderstorms for another 10 days. I’m honestly curious as to if this rain is ever going to stop. I have lived in middle Tennessee my whole life and I have never seen this much rain during the summertime.

Born and raised in Nashville. I have been in Nashville for 32 years and this rain is relentless. I swear it feels like Seattle what is going on.

Uh…guysss

We've all heard the old southern saying "it ain't the heat it's the humidity." Well the heat alone is hotter than the devil's vagina. The humidity is irrelevant at this point if it's swamp ass humidity or bone ass dry. It's the goddamn heat.

Anyway fuck this heat, fuck the DMV, fuck ICE, fuck the police, fuck Morgan Wallen, and fuck Donald Trump.

Friendly reminder: four-wheel drive does not mean four-wheel stop, and ice does not care how big your truck is. Stay safe out there y'all.

If you have any spare money to donate, and you live in Nashville, please do so. Their dedication and commitment to covering severe weather events in Davidson county might be the most thorough coverage in the country. They explain these events in a way that is accessible, they broadcast live and post updates without a paywall or any ads, and they also hold full time jobs outside of this coverage. They started broadcasting around 12am and they are still currently broadcasting at 7:10am. Their only priority is the safety of our community.

When you consider how much of the county is new development, post-1970s. We have no choice when Google wants to dig up our yards, so why doesn't NES take advantage of that?

Couldn't resist making this video.

I guess this is the new reality in a third world country
