The crazy thing about this pattern is the snow is not the big story. The big story is the arctic air that has settled in. We will remain below freezing for over 80 hours - until lunchtime Wednesday. Wind chill values at Sunday night into Monday morning will be below zero with actual overnight temperatures in the single digits. Because of this a Cold Weather Advisory will be in effect from 6pm Sunday through Noon Monday.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
