Surprising Snow This Morning

WAKING TO SNOW: If you went to bed last evening with a the thought of a clear, cold night I am sure you are surprised to see snow this morning. We are very cold (temperature is 15° just after 9 am) and winds are from the NNW causing a 'feels like' in the single digits. Earlier this morning, that feels-like went below zero at 7:15.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK: In a word, COLD! The National Weather Service has issued a SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT this morning about the chilly temperatures and cold winds. Our high temperatures here in Cookeville will struggle to get to the middle 20's both today and Sunday. Nighttime lows will be around 10-12°.
