Actually, It probably was about 2003 when a friend kept complaining all winter about one snowfall after another. I never had that in the early 70s when I was in College at Austin Peay, and that was Clarksville. I left after college but came back in 2006 and this has been the coldest winter of my memory.

The amount of snowfall has not been severe at all for Nashville, especially compared to the Northeast...anyways, its March and been quite warm the past several days, and starting the stormy season, but for the Nashville newcommers, don't let it fool you.... It is not shorts and flip flop weather yet...there will be more cold snaps or below normal spells lasting on though the spring. In past years we have had "Big" snows in March, and flurries in April, and late frost in May so just be prepared for a roller coster of weather the next 3 months. Nashville usually follows the patters of the rest of the Eastern half of the U.S.. I was just looking at the temperature map on newschannel5.com and Chicago and St. Louis were both around 54 to 56 degrees at 8'oclock this morning, Nashville was at 54. A friend in New York called me Monday and was talking about how nice it was there, in there, temps in the upper 50's lower 60's... so Nashville usually shares the same weather patterns as locations North and South, within a 5 to 10 degree diffence in either direction. Guess where we are located we get a bit of everything...

Honey, compared to the northeast, no amount of snow is gonna be severe, okay? We don't compare our weather to other places on this forum, because it makes us irritated. I don't know how much snow you guys got, but here we got severe amounts of snow relative to our snow history.

I do agree that we share weather though. It sounds weird, but whatever weather my friend in Ontario is experiencing, generally so are we. The main differences are that that their winters are more severe, whatever system they're experiencing, and our summers are more severe - just slightly, though.

Well, as of early this morning, we are having typical spring weather...wet, loud and frequently intermittently bright.
