Wider weather episode

A strong cold front that moved across Middle Tennessee from late on November 29 into November 30 produced widespread rain across the area. As an area of low pressure moved eastward along the front, temperatures dropped during the day allowing the rain to change over to snow before ending during the evening. Locations along and east of I-24 saw anywhere from a dusting to over 4 inches of snow, with the highest amounts falling on the northern Cumberland Plateau.
