...WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU THROUGH TONIGHT...

MANY ROADS ALONG THE UPPER CUMBERLAND WILL REMAIN SNOW COVERED AND
HAZARDOUS OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG LESS TRAVELED SECONDARY
ROADS.

BETWEEN INTERSTATE 65 AND THE UPPER CUMBERLAND...WHERE SKIES HAVE
REMAINED MOSTLY CLOUDY...PATCHY BLACK ICE WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE LESS TRAVELED
SECONDARY ROADS.

BETWEEN INTERSTATE 65 AND THE TENNESSEE RIVER...PATCHY BLACK ICE
MAY STILL PRODUCE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...SINCE
SUNSHINE HAS OCCURRED TODAY OVER THAT PART OF THE MID
STATE...ONLY SHADED SPOTS WILL BE MOST LIKELY TO HOLD ONTO PATCHY
BLACK ICE THROUGH TONIGHT.

EVEN THOUGH INTERSTATES AND OTHER PRIMARY ROADS MAY BE ICE
FREE...BE CAREFUL WHEN DRIVING ALONG THE LESS TRAVELED RURAL
HIGHWAYS. BLACK ICE IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO
SEE.

REPORTS FROM AROUND MIDDLE TENNESSEE INDICATE THAT THE UPPER
CUMBERLAND RECEIVED BETWEEN ONE AND AS MUCH AS THREE INCHES OF
SNOW SUNDAY NIGHT. MOST OTHER AREAS...WEST OF THE UPPER
CUMBERLAND...RECEIVED ONLY A DUSTING OF ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF
INCH...MOSTLY ON GRASSY AREAS.

THE NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE LOW WIND CHILLS OF
BETWEEN MINUS FIVE AND MINUS FIFTEEN DEGREES OVERNIGHT. PROLONGED
EXPOSURE TO THIS KIND OF WIND AND COLD IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE
TAKEN SERIOUSLY. ENSURE THAT THE ELDERLY...PETS AND WATER PIPES
ARE PROPERLY PROTECTED. IF ONE MUST VENTURE OUTSIDE...ITS NOT A
BAD IDEA TO WEAR LAYERS OF CLOTHING...A HAT AND GLOVES.
