Happy Hour: Not This Time
- Middle Tennessee is in a Winter Weather Advisory, but this storm looks pretty lame. Which is okay with us. [WSMV]
- The East Coast, however, is expected to get 20-30 inches of snow dumped on them and it’s already causing some widespread flight delays and cancellations at BNA. [Tennessean]
- Seven months after Steve McNair’s murder, police have released tapes of the interviews with the two men who found McNair’s body and called the police. This one’s not for the faint of heart. [WKRN]
- Since the Saturday parking meter thing went into effect a few weeks ago, Nashvillians have already racked up more than 200 tickets. [Tennessean]
- Headline of the day: “Cow Tips Man At UT Ag School, Victim Not Hurt.” [WTVF]

Bright & Early: Getting Around Edition
Good morning, Nashville. More details about the big transit meeting are emerging and it turns out that city leaders are kicking around actual ideas for a light rail system sometime in the (probably distant) future. Though we know that this kind of talk makes the rounds at least once or twice a year, the Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is taking a look at other cities for ideas about how to create a revenue source that would support it. In the meantime, Mayor Dean says that more bus rapid transit routes like the one on Gallatin will be implemented soon. We’re also pretty excited about those free circulator buses we keep hearing about.
- Too salty. Williamson and Rutherford counties are among those who predict they would actually run out of salt completely if we had a Situation repeat. And given all those theories about a miniature ice age, we suppose that’s a possibility.
- Free wi-fi coming soon! The Nashville Technology Council is aiming for the end of February to implement the free wi-fi network downtown. Though it’ll be limited at first while they work out the kinks and convince businesses to buy extenders, everyone should be able to get on the internet downtown for free pretty soon.
- Bits & pieces. It’s eastbound I-440’s turn to be closed this weekend. You may also want to steer clear of White Bridge around the I-40 on-ramp … Snow tonight, but probably not much … If the ‘Noog blows up next year, at least we will know why … Someone’s house is covered in solar panels and it’s not Al Gore.
