Nashville\u2026 it looks like there\u2019s a big storm coming.<\/p>\n
Am I referring to the three to eight inches (or even more?) of snow that\u2019s supposed to hit the Music City when I say storm? Sort of. What I actually meant was the storm of anxiety and chaos that comes with The Weather Channel\u2019s Jim Cantore posting about winter weather in the Nashville area. When Jim Cantore mentions weather hitting a specific city, you know it\u2019s about to go down.<\/p>\n
All signs and forecasts are pointing towards Nashville getting hit by Winter Storm Fern this weekend\u2013 a weather system that is expected to move through much of the Midwest and southern United States (then into the north east) from late in the week and through the weekend. It\u2019s set to leave behind freezing rain, ice, and plenty of snow, depending on how far south you go. For Nashville, it\u2019s looking like it\u2019s going to get mostly snow \u2013 and a lot<\/em>\u00a0of it.<\/p>\n Though it\u2019s still too early to really predict how much snow could fall in Nashville and the surrounding Middle Tennessee area, meteorologists continue to communicate a rising confidence in a substantial amount of wintry precipitation. And one of the world\u2019s most famous weather people \u2013 Jim Cantore \u2013 even thinks that Nashville could experience a record-breaking snowfall.<\/p>\n He posted this message earlier today with a graph of Nashville\u2019s top snowstorms since 1871:<\/p>\n \u201cExpect Nashville, Tennessee to join some rare company by the time all the SNOW falls over the weekend.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Not exactly a promising update when Jim Cantore pulls out the record books. In fact, it\u2019s never really promising when Jim Cantore is talking about where you live.<\/p>\n That\u2019s how Nashvillians are starting to feel about the post from the famous weather man. Even the fiercest \u201cthe big snow forecast will just turn into a light dusting\u201d believers are starting to show some concern. And many are hoping that Cantore doesn\u2019t travel to Music City to report from there (like he did last January), because then that means that snowmageddon might actually be happening:<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/JVhBFWkLul<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Robert Martin (@RobSMartin9) January 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Typically not good news if Jim Cantore is mentioning your city https:\/\/t.co\/0u8KjehcAt<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/PC0T0jypFl<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Chris Howell (@ChrisHHowell) January 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Jim Cantore even speaking up LAWWWD SHE\u2019S COMIN https:\/\/t.co\/bfmVrkb5II<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 James Pettus (@PettusWX) January 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n guessing this man will be reporting live from broadway this weekend https:\/\/t.co\/56Itqrtjni<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/T5c94uRzxu<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 brandie (@brandieeemac) January 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n https:\/\/t.co\/x2LEqsViMQ<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/t6L5UldHav<\/a><\/p>\n\n
