While not too many ventured out in the frigid temperatures, the weather was still a special surprise for some. Tourists Jay Parr and John Blake couldn t leave Memphis due to the weather but enjoyed the unexpected snowfall. Never ever. Did not see this coming, Parr said.
The Mid-South doesn t often get snow like this, so people took full advantage of the fun. Many enjoyed the experience with snowball fights on the Main Street trolley tracks and snowboarding down Second Street.

BARTLETT, Tenn. For any driver, an incoming ice storm is a sign to stay off the roads as much as possible. Driver Charles Robinson said he s planning to be extra cautious Wednesday night going into Thursday as an ice storm is predicted for the Mid-South. Staying home, staying out of the way, Robinson said.
Most drivers told Local 24 News they aren t so confident with driving on icy streets. It’s dangerous, Robinson said. I think everybody should be at home when conditions like this happen.
