About Tennessee Winter Weather

Tennessee winter weather varies dramatically across the state. Across the 10 Tennessee cities covered by SnowSense™, average annual snowfall is 8 inches, ranging from 4 inches in Memphis to 17 inches in Johnson City.

School-closure thresholds track the regional snowfall climatology: districts in high-snowfall areas close only for major events, while low-snowfall districts close for smaller events that would be unremarkable elsewhere. Tennessee's district-level autonomy means nearby towns sometimes make different closure calls for the same storm.
