The Great Nashville Snowpocalypse of... Nevermind, It's July
Ah, Nashville. Music City, bachelorette party capital of the South, and a place where the locals can tell you exactly how hot chicken should taste. But what about snow? Does Music City get a winter wonderland every year? Buckle up, folks, because we're about to dive into the thrilling world of Nashville snowfall.
Spoiler alert: you might want to grab a swimsuit instead of snow boots.
Nashville's Snow History: A Tale of Short Stints and Slush
Nashville does get some snow, but let's be honest, it's more of a "dusting" situation than a blizzard. We're talking an average of about 5 inches a year, which is enough to warrant a dramatic news report and maybe a day off school (because, hey, gotta make memories, right?).
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
However, there have been a few epic snowfalls in Nashville history. In 1994, the city got slammed with a whopping 17 inches, which caused chaos and left grocery store shelves bare (except for the ever-important supply of Twinkies, of course). But those epic snowfalls are about as common as a country music star showing up to work on time – rare and unexpected.
So, How Much Snow Are We Talking About This Week?
Absolutely none. Nada. Zilch. You're more likely to see Dolly Parton riding a rhinestone-encrusted unicorn than a snowflake falling in Nashville this July.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
