❄️ Your Nashville snow memories

The history of snow in Nashville

Last week, we asked you to reminisce on snows of Nashville’s past. If you’re like us, these five stories will make you want to go outside and hop on a sled, build a snowman, or round up the neighborhood for a snowball fight.

“My senior year at Belmont, I lived on campus and we had a huge snow (either 2015 or 2016). A bunch of us walked down to Sevier Park and there were so many people sledding it looked like a Norman Rockwell painting. I’ll never forget it. Then, we all got to walk down 12th in the snow and stop at Frothy to warm up with some coffee. Campus was fun, too — full of snowmen and things written in the snow by cheeky college students!” — Haley C.

“I was in elementary school in the early 90s and we had the best snow/ice storm that hit. Our power was out, but we didn’t care. It was so much fun for us kids walking around the neighborhood and sledding around on trash can tops. Best snow break ever!” — Tyanna N.

From the editor

Brrrr. Hope everyone is staying warm this week. This weather calls for a piping hot bowl of Nicoletto’s pasta — good thing I recently stocked up on my fave bronze cut Creste di Gallo.
