Although snowfall is projected to only be 1 to 3 inches in total (and upward of 4 inches toward the mountains), residents are still advised to stay off the roads. Those commuting to and from work Friday afternoon should stay alert when driving in wintry weather conditions.

Much to the joy of some and displeasure of others, snow was falling across Nashville and Middle Tennessee Friday, with many residents likely to see several inches of the white stuff before day's end.
