In January, the first major snow event of the year, temperatures were higher and the snow accumulation was over two times the amount this time around. Streets were still covered in snow, but because the area never experienced ice or extremely low temperatures, the City of Memphis road crews were able to clear roadways much easier.

Memphis is under a winter storm watch, with the heaviest snowfall expected Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. Snowfall accumulation in Memphis is predicted to be between one to two inches, but could reach up to five inches in areas north of the city.

The Memphis Area Transit Authority will only run eight routes on Wednesday: routes 11, 36, 39, 40, 42, 50, 52 and 57. The transit authority will provide rides for those who need to get to a warming shelter, and for "life-sustaining trips."
