PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
1240 PM CST TUE DEC 10 2013

...MEASURABLE SNOW HAS OCCURRED IN NASHVILLE ON DECEMBER TENTH ON
THREE OCCASIONS...

SINCE 1884...THERE HAVE BEEN FOURTEEN OCCASIONS WHEN SNOW HAS FALLEN
IN NASHVILLE ON THIS DATE. ONLY THREE WERE MEASURABLE EVENTS...
INCLUDING THE FOUR TENTHS OF AN INCH MEASURED AT THE NASHVILLE
AIRPORT THIS MORNING. THE OTHER TWO EVENTS WERE IN 1944...WHEN AN
INCH OF SNOW WAS MEASURED...AND 1903...WHEN THREE TENTHS OF AN
INCH OCCURRED. THE OTHER ELEVEN EVENTS WERE ALL TRACE AMOUNTS.

IN ELEVEN OF THE FOURTEEN YEARS WHEN SNOW FELL ON DECEMBER TENTH...AT
LEAST ONE MEASURABLE SNOW OCCURRED AT SOME POINT DURING THE
FOLLOWING TWO WEEKS LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS...AND THERE MAY BE A
GOOD REASON FOR THAT. GENERALLY SPEAKING... IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE
COLD ENOUGH TO SNOW AT NASHVILLE IN EARLY DECEMBER...THE WEATHER
PATTERNS HAVE TO BE WELL CONNECTED TO THE COLD AIR UP OVER CANADA.
WHEN LARGE SCALE WEATHER PATTERNS DEVELOP LIKE THAT...THEY OFTEN
LAST FOR TWO TO THREE WEEKS...AND ALLOW FOR REPEATED COLD AIR
OUTBREAKS ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. WILL THAT BE THE CASE THIS
YEAR? WHO KNOWS? HOWEVER...THERE IS AT LEAST A SMALL CHANCE FOR
SOME MORE WINTRY WEATHER IN THE MID STATE AS EARLY AS THIS
UPCOMING FRIDAY NIGHT.
