MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - A wintry mix of snow and sleet has led to early closings of schools, churches and museums in west Tennessee.
The National Weather Service said trace amounts of snow had fallen in Memphis and west Tennessee cities by Wednesday afternoon. More snow was forecast to fall Wednesday night and Thursday in the region, with up to 3 inches possible in areas such as Dyersburg and Paris.
Threat of inclement weather and deteriorating traffic conditions led Jackson State Community College to dismiss afternoon classes. Discovery Park of America in Union City also closed early.
Some schools in Shelby County also did not open or closed early due to heating issues. News outlets reported that Shelby County Schools called off after-school activities and Tennessee College of Applied Technology canceled evening classes.
