State, county and city crews are preparing as much as possible, even before the snow begins to fall. The National Weather Service says it could come as early as 8 a.m. Jan. 10, though the winter storm warning doesn't start until 10 a.m.

The storm will bring "widespread snow accumulations" with a mixture of sleet and freezing rain possible south of Interstate 40 with "light ice accumulation possible."

A significant snow event will move into the Middle Tennessee region on Friday. Here's how much snow the greater Nashville area can expect.

More winter weather is coming to East Tennessee. Freezing temperatures are forecast to continue for the region and "heavy snowfall" is expected on Jan. 10. This is part of the significant winter storm that will impact the entire Volunteer State and much of the Mid-South.
