When it comes to Nashville’s weather, most of the time folks scratch their heads in confusion. Locals like to joke that if you don’t like the weather, “just wait a while, it’ll change!” More often than not, that humorous sentiment tends to be true. In 1951, however, the state decided to herald the city of Nashville with a snowstorm to beat all snowstorms. It continues to be the heaviest blizzard in the city’s history and has finagled its way into state textbooks, forever remembered for its chilly ferocity.
