Nashville Snow Storm
You will see all kinds of weather when you are trucking. You wouldn’t expect Tennessee and southern states to have winter weather problems. One of the most memorable, and sketchy, weather events hit Nashville when I was driving North from Florida. This ice storm turned snow storm shut down the whole city. People just abandoned their cars on the interstate. Unlike northern cities, the city was ill equipped to handle such a storm.
The Pilot Travel Center lot was a skating rink with trucks bumping into each other and clogging up the lot. Somehow I was able to avoid any collisions and keep the truck moving as the truck skated over ice. It was probably more a matter of luck than skill.
It was a nerve racking ride, but I was able to make it to my delivery on time regardless of the road conditions.
