Along with the snow, temperatures will plummet into the teens tonight and not rise much on Tuesday. Although winds will be light, wind chills will still fall to near or below zero at times tonight into Tuesday.

Roads will become snow covered and slippery tonight and Tuesday, and with temperatures remaining below freezing until Thursday, the snow will stick around for a couple of days.

Stewart, Robertson, and Houston counties are also included in the warning.

CSD manager Scott Bibb said trucks have been out Monday afternoon using plows to clear subdivision streets. Trucks will start spreading salt into the night, depending on snowfall amounts and temperatures.

“The issue is that the temperature is expected to plummet into single digits tonight, and salt ceases to work well below 23 degrees,” Bibb said. “Trucks and salt supplies are holding up and the department is prepared for Round Two.”

“The roads are in pretty good shape at this moment thanks to the hard work of the street department, but there is a lot of water on the roads and depending on how quickly the temps drop, the road conditions can quickly deteriorate,” Clarksville Police Department spokesman Jim Knoll said. “Some of the shaded areas and subdivisions still have some patches of ice and the darkness can increase the hazardous conditions.”

“As usual, if folks don’t need to be out, then it is safer to stay home. Drivers need to adjust for the road conditions. There isn’t one way to drive that fits all. Regardless of the type of vehicle, if ice is present, the whole driving style changes since traction is lost.”

There is some salt left over on many state roads, according to TDOT, and crews will be adding salt on the roads that need more. Louis Pisarra, TDOT Operations Supervisor, told News 2 they’re starting with a brine, a calcium mixture, that reacts with ice and snow.

When snow hits Tennessee, TDOT ice and snow removal teams focus first on clearing interstates and heavily traveled state routes and will specifically target areas vulnerable to freezing, such as hills, curves, ramps, bridges and interchanges.
