WARNING 🚨: Please be on the lookout for these two men who have been targeting elderly residents posing as landscapers to burglarize their homes. One knocks on the front door asking for the homeowners to take them into the backyard while the other enters the home & steals jewelry. Their vehicle is believed to be a dark gray Ford F150 with tinted windows. See them? Do not engage. Know who they are? Call 615-742-7463.
What a crazy week it’s been here in Nashville. Almost can’t believe what this town (and I know many others in this region) have gone through. The ice storm was devastating and will take months to clean up and years to recover from.
Our street look like a bomb exploded-complete devastation!
Our area is on Day 6 without power-there are many who are really struggling and need help but streets are shut down and it’s hard to get to everyone.
Nashville will eventually recover and comeback stronger but this is still disaster area.
Really appreciate all the Good Samaritans (like my buddy Steve Hannah) and Arborists that are out trying to help as many as they can.
If you have family or friends in this southern region I pray their finding warmth and a place to stay-temperatures this weekend here are going to still be well below freezing. Stay SAFE & Stay STRONG
If you must drive, please slow down due to slick road conditions. If you see anyone stopped along the shoulder, move over if it is safe to do so. Dial *847 (*THP) for highway assistance, or call 911 in the event of an emergency.
The bulk of the storm is on its way. It's beginning to snow in the western counties in the Nashville District. Today isnt the day to travel unless it's an emergency. Use caution! Reduce your speed! @TNHighwayPatrol@myTDOT
My final #snowczar prediction based on my studies. Nashville will get over six inches of snow by Monday at midnight. If I am wrong, I will shave my beard and have only a mustache until it reaches sixty degrees again in the city.
This graphic is a NWS experimental forecast for JUST ICE ACCREATION and excludes sleet. Again its a forecast and a great look at where prolonged issues and catastrophic power loss could be if it verifies. Forecast only through 7pm Sunday.
Today, I issued a state of emergency for all 95 counties ahead of this weekend’s major storm.
We encourage all Tennesseans to check local weather conditions & follow key updates from state agencies:

Travel conditions will likely be dangerous this weekend. If you must be on the roads, be safe. Check road conditions before you leave, take it slow, let someone know your travel plans, and be sure to clean off your vehicle before driving.
Claims circulating on social media that a person was hit by a THP trooper in Memphis are false. Video shows the individual holding the vehicle, lying down, then standing up and leaving on his own. Peaceful protest is protected. Entering active roadways is not and risks lives.
