I'm considering moving to Tennessee but I would love to live somewhere where it snows sometimes. Does anywhere in Tennessee get snow?

You are joking right? Do a Google search and you will find your answer.
Does it snow in Tennessee? Really?

The answer is yes it does snow in Tennessee. There are even places it will stay on the ground a while. But, its far from New England where it SNOWS, and stays on the ground longer than most anyone wants.

Nope. Wasn't joking. Obviously, I'm looking from real answers from real people, or else I would have gone to Google. Thanks though ��

One of the reasons we moved to Cookeville was the weather. Wanted somewhere that got snow now and then, but not long dreary winters with piled up dirty snow. Only had a few flakes so far, but the 10 day forecast has some snow possibly showing up on New Year's weekend. Of course, where you are in the state will have a big bearing on how much snow you get. Mountain City would get much more than Memphis.

I moved here in 1976. This area use to get a lot of good snows. I use to own sleds. We would go sledding, build snowmen, do donuts in the parking lots. Schools would be closed for days or weeks. It was fun. I've even seen a couple blizzards and ice storms shut everything down.
These days not so much. We do get snow occasionally but nothing like this area did years ago. Now we get really excited about the prospect of snow. Schools cancel class at the mere utterance of the word and stores are bombarded with those who think they will die if they dont get their bread and milk. Usually we are mostly disappointed.

It can and does snow most places in the US. Several weeks ago there were snow flakes flying in the Florida panhandle. So yes it does snow in Tennessee. We don’t get much snow because we are in the south but it does snow. I believe 4-6 inches a year is average for most of Tennessee. Of course that is nothing compared to places like Wi, Mi, Mn, NY or New England where you can get 50-100 inches a year.

All of Tennessee can experience snow, as danielj72 said. Some parts get much more than others, and it largely follows elevation.

For example, Franklin, located just south of Nashville, averages just 1 inch of snow per year. Cookeville, located on the Highland Rim an hour east of Nashville, averages 7 inches of snow per year. Ten miles further east on the Cumberland Plateau, Monterey averages 17 inches of snow per year.

East TN and the mountains get snow, sometimes a lot in the mountains and places like Gatlinburg.(ski slopes)


I don't think west of Nashville TN gets much snow at all.
