Good morning, Nashville. Weather forecasters are slowly beginning to crush our Snowpocalypse dreams by doing things like downgrading our Winter Storm Watch to a simple advisory and changing our snowfall projections to “around one inch.” Our trusty friends at NashvilleWX still have at least the northern half of Davidson County in the 2-3″ range.
