Heading out to pickup my teenage daughter from a friend's house. Car was completely iced over and getting the door open was quite a challenge. Will post when I return on road conditions. Betting it's going to be quite bad! Current temperature 22.8° with a calm wind. CHURCH @ TRINITY ASSEMBLY in Algood will be one service only at 10:30 on Sunday morning. If you cannot make it, watch LIVE on the web site.
DANGEROUS ROAD CONDITIONS: Snow, sleet, and freezing rain fell most of Friday through this morning. Current temperatures are 24° in Cookeville. We'll touch on Saturday's weather outlook in a few minutes. A quick check of measurements in Putnam County show 2.5" at Monterey to 4" in Cookeville. Across the state of Tennessee, we've seen as much as 7" reported in Fentress County. I'll post a map showing accumulation totals.
SATURDAY OUTLOOK: Currently, snow is falling again across the city and we expect to continue off and on today with another inch of accumulation possible. Temperatures will stay between the mid 20's to the upper 20's. Not much, if any, melting is expected. Tonight will be another dangerous time on the roads as temperatures will plummet to around 11° by sunrise.

Stephen, Thanks for your up-to-date reporting for the Cookeville area. You keep it personal for us. Blessings on this Winter day.
Folks seem to be driving pretty sanely this morning - roads are decent, for now, except for Sun Valley area - took me 10 minutes to get up the hill to my driveway, it's VERY slick under that snow pack.
