It’s not likely that Nashville will see a wintry white holiday this season, so we couldn’t help but reminisce on snowstorms that brought the city to a standstill in the past.
Snow stats
Data from the National Weather Service shows that Nashville typically sees its first snowfall in late December any given year. The average first “snow event” (when at least 0.1 inches of snow falls) is Dec. 23. The earliest the city saw snow was Oct. 31, 1993, and the latest April 10, 1973.
Nashville’s largest snowfall
Nashvillians dreaming of a snowy Christmas in 1891 were in for a big surprise the following St. Patrick’s Day. After a mere 0.3 inches of snowfall all winter, Nashville received the largest snowfall in its history — 17 inches — on March 17, 1892.
If you think a few inches of snow is disruptive to Nashville life today, can you imagine what nearly 39 inches would do? That’s how much snow fell in the winter of 1959-1960.
