Much to the joy of some and displeasure of others, snow was falling across Nashville and Middle Tennessee Friday, with many residents likely to see several inches of the white stuff before day's end.

Travel is anticipated to become "very difficult" by the mid to late morning and although much of the snow will move out by midnight, travel impacts will continue through the weekend.

Friday's highly anticipated weather event is finally here, with Upstate residents stepping outside their homes to take in the region's first snowfall in three years. Although snowfall is projected to only be 1 to 3 inches in total (and upward of 4 inches toward the mountains),

Nashville is expected to get anywhere from 6 to 8 inches of snow Friday as a winter storm system moves across the state.
