NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The snow, sleet and freezing rain have moved out of Middle Tennessee and Kentucky, but icy road conditions remain. Officials are again urging people to stay home.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation will provide an update on road conditions at 12:30 p.m.
Numerous crashes were reported Monday as travel conditions deteriorated throughout the day. Overnight, the snow stopped, but temperatures will only reach the 20s on Tuesday, so roads won’t have a chance to thaw.

Nashville resident Eric Goodman was driving to the store when he got stuck near Donelson Pike. Thankfully myself & photojournalist @QuanMcwil_TV was there to help push his car out of the snow. Listen to Eric and stay in the house! @NC5 pic.twitter.com/IVK83nXKc3
