JACKSON, Tenn. North Madison County and Gibson County were two of the hardest hit places for snow this week, and it’s making life difficult for the people who live there.
Three Way resident Johnny Estes says he hasn’t seen snow like this since he was a student at Freed-Hardeman University in 1968.
“It was warmer then and melted away in probably two or three days,” Estes said. “This is probably going to be here a week.”
He measured 8 inches of snow in his front yard in Three Way, and hasn’t left the house all week.
