NASHVILLE, Tenn.-  The snow came down hard Sunday morning in Nashville, but it did not accumulate and didn't cause any problems on the roads, but that wasn't the case for everyone.

While most areas of Middle Tennessee avoided appreciable snow amounts, areas to the northeast of Nashville (mainly on the Plateau) saw between 1 and 4 inches.  The heaviest fell around Jamestown where that 4" amount was recorded.

Snow covered the ground in Livingston, Overton County and Jackson County. In Cookeville, the snow covered the ground and a lot of roof tops.

In Westmoreland, they had enough snow to build a snowman, and in Cumberland County Kentucky, there was enough snow to blanket Dale Hollow State Park.

Sunday night temperatures will fall quickly under clear skies.  Lows will drop into the 20s with the potential for some areas to see a little black ice in areas where roads didn't dry off before sunset. 

As the temperatures start to drop Sunday night, T-DOT crews will be out.

One priority will be treating wet roads that may freeze later. Crews were out Sunday afternoon spreading brine and salt mainly on bridges which typically freeze first.

Monday will begin yet another warm-up with highs rising well into the 50s with 60s by midweek.
