• We feel that Mayor Dean is simply not hardcore if he’s not out clearing snow with his John Deere tractor like the mayor of Minor Hill. [WSMV]
• Metro Schools will be closed for the third day this week on Wednesday, which is unfortunate as they used up their last allotted snow day today. [WTVF & WSMV]
• Members of the 107th General Assembly convened for the first time today, and Rep. Beth Harwell made history as the first woman elected Speaker of the House in Tennessee. [WTVF]
