Almost two inches of snow covered campus early Thursday morning. Classes have been canceled for Thursday, as the snow has quickly accumulated, in addition to low wind chills. Davidson County has been issued a Winter Storm Warning that began at 6 p.m. Wednesday and will be in effect until noon today. The Campus Service Operations team has worked on clearing snow from Bison Square and major sidewalks throughout the morning. University offices are closed, except for those essential to the safety and welfare of campus residents. The dining hall is open as usual, but other dining options will open based on the availability staff. This second slap of ice and snow may look a little like Lipscomb did two weeks ago, as the temperatures are predicted to remain below freezing until mid-day Friday. Photos by Erin...

Snow and freezing rain fell on campus Friday after a dangerous week of winter weather in Nashville, causing class cancellations and activity interruptions for Lipscomb. The snow and freezing rain that fell on Friday afternoon will be transitioning into potential rain on Saturday.

Nashville’s wintry weather — that has disrupted classes and made it tough for many students and faculty to make it to campus — may continue into the weekend. Students returned to class Wednesday, Feb. 18, after two days of canceled classes, but a mixture of snow and ice is lingering on campus. And it’s not going to melt away on its own, with local TV meteorologists predicting temperatures to plummet into the negatives Wednesday night. Nashville hasn’t seen this much snow and ice since the largest snowfall of the century, when 7 inches of snow fell on Music City in January of 2003. Sure, some say this is the “sunny South,” but the Nashville area has had a few winter storms of epic proportions. The wintry mix the area received during this week reminded many Nashvillians of the brutal ice storm of February 1994, when electric transformers lighted the sky like lightning as they exploded. Tree limbs covered in heavy ice ripped down power lines. That ice storm left many Middle Tennessee residents without power and heat for more than two weeks. During that storm, many parts of Tennessee experienced more than 5 inches of rainfall, much of it frozen. “I remember we played Belmont the night that it started to snow,” said Kim Chaudoin, Assistant Vice President of University Communication and Marketing. “I lived in Murfreesboro at the time and commuted to Lipscomb for work. I tried to get home and had to leave my car along Tyne Boulevard. I walked back to my office and slept on my office floor that night.” And there have been other instances...
