Happy Hour: Fish In A Barrel
It’s snowing! Or snizzling. Or snouring. Or snaining. Either way, it is downright nasty outside, so be careful! [WTVF] As such, there have been some school closings and cancellations of evening activities, so keep an eye out if that applies to you. [WSMV] The Titans have officially named offensive line coach Mike Munchak as the [...]
Happy Hour: Not Out Of The Woods
Tomorrow is another snow day for the Davidson County school kids, those lucky ducks. [WSMV] But it isn’t without cause as the roads are still pretty treacherous in spots and the slush is expected to re-freeze tonight. [WSMV] Case in point: An SUV slid on the slush that’s still on the side of I-40 near [...]
Happy Hour: Ice Ice Baby
After a slippery commute and a quick glance at Metro’s accident log, we’d say that Snowpocalypse would be more aptly titled Icemageddon. But it just doesn’t have the same ring to it, you know? [WKRN] Many school systems have already announced closings and delays for Friday including Metro, Williamson and Rutherford since the ice is [...]

The kiddos are understandably a little disappointed to be robbed of their impromptu vacation, but we’re happy to hear that things are getting back to normal. Due to some standardized testing, a few [...]
Bright & Early: Slip ‘N’ Slide Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hope you made it out of the driveway without slipping and sliding this morning, though we have to say we didn’t see much of anything that would have warranted emergency management at the Nashvillest HQ. But judging by the looks of the school closings scrolling across the screen, we’re guessing that [...]
Ice Storm Of Aught-Eight [Everybody Panic]
We’re not sure how the weather took such a turn for the worse this morning after a downright balmy Sunday. Either way, we’re sitting here watching the growing list of school systems that are shutting down early today in preparation for the looming ice storm that’s set to hit parts of the midstate overnight. So [...]
Bright & Early: Dressed For Success Edition
Good morning, Nashville. For all the squabbling that happened when Metro schools adopted school uniforms, it sounds like they’ve actually helped make the schools safer. Major incidents of violence and assault were down significantly last year, though the number of smaller conflicts were way up in high schools. No one has proven that the uniforms [...]
