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.

The winter storm warning is in effect from Tuesday at noon to Wednesday at noon. Snow is expected to begin falling around 6 p.m. Tuesday evening and transition to full snow by 10 p.m. Memphis is under a winter storm warning where the city could see a few inches of snow.

During a press conference Tuesday afternoon, multiple city officials explained their plan for dealing with this week's winter storm.
