*WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THURSDAY*
COLD AGAIN: We're watching our chances for snow on Thursday and I'll get to that in just a moment. This morning, we're at 10°. It markets our 5th consecutive day of temperatures below freezing. Expect a sunny day with highs around 28°, the warmest since January 1st. Tonight, cold again, low 18° with clouds moving in and a slight chance of snow flurries. On Thursday, the heaviest of the snow arrives by 10 o'clock in the morning. You'll notice a strong west wind with gusts to 15 mph. This will cause the snow to blow around. We'll see up to 3" inches of accumulations here in Cookeville with possibly more in the higher elevations to our east. Behind the cold front, temperatures will plunge once again. I expect Friday and Saturday nights to be in the single digits.

Michael,
You mentioned that we've been below 32 degrees for 5 days - any idea what the record is for Cookeville?
Michael,
great job with the forecast.
Should I invest in a snow shovel for Thursday and Friday, or do you provide personal snow removal as a complimentary service?
Keep up the great work.

Paul...I don't know what the record is, officially, but would have to say it is up in the 9-10 day range.
Jay...Get the shovel, and NOPE you are on your own for removing snow!
Thanks for the comments fellows!
