We experienced our first real glimpse of Winter precipitation in Wilson County today. It was short lived due to the temperatures being quite warm for a couple of days prior and the temperature during the snow event being at or just above freezing.
The National Weather Service said that this snow event was one of the hardest to predict in recent memory. The computer models were no where near being in agreement for the outcome of the winter weather.
It snowed for a few hours and at times the flakes were as large as quarters coming down at a very heavy pace. Had the temperature been about 5 degrees colder we would have had a pretty major snow event. As the snow tapered off to flurries the temperature started to rise and by about 4:00 this afternoon it was nearly 40 degrees and the snow was nothing more than a memory.
The way this Winter has progressed in the middle Tennessee area this could have possibly been our best chance for a significant snow accumulation.
