Tennessee has not received the predicted snowfall amounts from the cold front that settled in the state overnight Sunday. However, there has been widespread sleet, freezing rain and ice making travel on Interstates and roadways treacherous. The National Weather Service continues to show snow in the forecast and temperatures will not be above freezing before the weekend.
Tennessee State Agencies are advising caution when driving in the state and urging people to avoid unnecessary travel as the southern part of the state remains under an Ice Storm Warning. Other areas of Tennessee are still under either a Winter Storm Warning or Winter Weather Advisory.
We have placed all Tennessee Highway Patrol strike teams on standby so troopers will not only be ready to respond to roadside emergencies and crashes, they will also be prepared to assist local emergency management officials and first responders, if necessary,” Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons said.

Call 511 before traveling into areas affected by severe winter weather for updates from TDOT on hazardous roadway conditions.
Call *THP (*847) from any mobile phone if your vehicle gets stranded to be connected to the closest Tennessee Highway Patrol dispatcher who can send help.
Call 911 in the event of an emergency.If your vehicle becomes stranded or you are involved in an accident, stay with your vehicle until help arrives.
Monitor local radio and television broadcasts, and NOAA Weather Radio, for updates on weather conditions.
Travel with emergency supplies, including blankets, water, a windshield scraper, a flash light with fresh batteries, jumper cables and a first aid kit.
Ensure your vehicle has plenty of fuel and that tires are properly inflated.
Use extreme caution and take the roadways that have been treated with salt or brine.
