The pending winter storm has most meteorologists scratching their head over what will happen when it gets here.  Of course weather predicting always has a margin for error, but in this case that margin seems to be very wide.  All the weather experts are saying there is going to be a winter storm  of ‘some kind’ move into Middle Tennessee tonight and drop ‘some form’ of precipitation amounting to ‘some measurable’ frozen precip.  We’ve compiled the latest estimates from media around the region (2pmCT) for you draw your own conclusions about the severity of the wintery blast.  Of course the accumulation of snow always is different from one area to another with higher elevations getting the most – usually.  The Cumberland Plateau is one of those regions. And those of you who live in the Monterey area – you’re own your own.  That part of the Cumberland Plateau almost always gets hit the hardest when snow comes to town.
