NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — While some Tennesseans are stuck at home, their lawmakers will do the same.

House Speaker Cameron Sexton and Lt. Randy McNally jointly decided to cancel all floor sessions and committee hearings. Snow has blanketed much of Middle Tennessee.

As a result, the Cordell Hull building and the state capitol will be closed.

Lawmakers will resume Jan. 22.

Neighbors transform Antioch Pike after deadly hit-and-run

Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life.

See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
