While it’s been a few years since Tennessee has been hit with hard and heavy snow, many folks in the Volunteer state can probably remember the last good snow.

With over 8 inches of snow and thick, heavy ice, the storm completely shut down Middle Tennessee for nearly a week. These pictures give you an idea of just how devastating this storm was.
