AN ALBERTA CLIPPER WEATHER SYSTEM WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MODERATE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN MANY TENNESSEE VALLEY COUNTIES EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.  THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDICATES BETWEEN ONE AND TWO INCHES OF SNOW WAS REPORTED IN PARTS OF LAWRENCE AND GILES COUNTIES WHILE MAURY COUNTY SAW UP TO TWO AND HALF INCHES OF ACCUMULATION.  FLORENCE STORM SPOTTERS INDICATED BETWEEN A HALF AN INCH AND ONE INCH OF SNOW FELL IN LAUDERDALE COUNTY WHILE A HALF INCH WAS REPORTED IN THE ATHENS AREA.  GREATER SNOW AMOUNTS WERE FOUND NEAR NASHVILLE AND MEMPHIS WHICH RESULTED IN SEVERAL TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ALONG MAJOR AND SECONDARY ROADWAYS.  WITH EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES PREDICTED FOR TODAY, IT'S LIKELY THAT ACCUMULATION SNOW WILL TURN TO ICE THEREFORE ADDING TO TRAFFIC ISSUES.  BEFORE YOU TRAVEL, IN TENNESSEE CALL 5-1-1 FOR ROAD CONDITIONS, AND IN ALABAMA, VISIT THE WEBSITE: ALGOTRAFFIC.COM.
