Now they’re trying to make some progress before the next round arrives on Wednesday.
Four inches of snow caused havoc across West Tennessee roads, but crews are trying to get it cleaned up as fast as they can.
“We made some progress. We divided into five zones,” said Johnny Weddle, superintendent of the City of Jackson Streets Department.
“We have all of our crews back out going through those roads, making sure we are getting them cleared and opened,” said Bart Walls, superintendent of the Madison County Highway Department.
“Some of our crews moved to the secondary routes, 412, 45, Highland, and different areas like that,” said Nichole Lawrence, the community relations officer for the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

JACKSON, Tenn. The Tennessee Department of Transportation is partnering with the Tennessee Highway Patrol for a new social media campaign to raise awareness about increasing numbers of deaths on Tennessee highways.
“Simple things that everybody can do to just take responsibility and understand that it’s not okay for these deaths to be occurring,” said Nichole Lawrence, community relations officer for the Tennessee Department of Transportation region four.
TDOT says, overall, fewer drivers were on the road last year, but the state still shows an almost seven percent increase in fatalities over 2019.
“People seem to be more interested in what’s in their hand or in the vehicle than what’s in front of them,” Tennessee Highway Patrol Sgt. Jena Eubanks said. “I use the five second rule. It takes less than five seconds put your seat belt on, put your phone away, and those two things right there can really make the difference.”
