NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The wintry weather has kept road crews busy all day. The Tennessee Department of Transportation has had 5 trucks out today hitting potential slick spots. Those trucks were using brine before the storm came through, then switching to salt this afternoon. Officials do not expect the same problems as we saw during the storm last month where a section of I65 had to be closed in Franklin. That storm produced sleet that fell much faster than expected and it took crews a little time to catch up. Even if that's not the problem Friday night though, TDOT does have a request for drivers tomorrow.
"Please stay home if you don't have somewhere to be pressing, work or a situation like that," says TDOT Spokesperson Deanna Lambert. "The worst case scenario is Saturday morning we have a lot of snow out there and our salt trucks are stuck in the same traffic everybody else is."
It's not just salt trucks that are out either. TDOT is bringing in 7 help trucks Friday night. Normally, they don't work in the overnight hours, but the state is bringing them in just in case they're needed. We will continue to follow the winter weather as it moves into the Midstate throughout the 9 and 10pm shows Friday night. You can get the latest, including weekend cancellations, at Fox17.com or Facebook.com/FoxNashville.

2 appellate court judges are stepping down
May 24, 2013 21:29 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Tennessee appellate court judges have notified Gov. Bill Haslam that they will not run for another term on the bench in the August 2014 retention election.
Patricia J. Cottrell, a judge on the Court of Appeals, and Joseph M. Tipton, who sits on the Court of Criminal Appeals bench, will both leave after September of next year.
The announcements come after the state legislature left Tennessee without a way to replace judges who step down or die when a commission expires at the end of next month.
Members of the soon-to-be-defunct Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations for replacements to give to Haslam before the panel expires. Haslam will appoint the replacements from those recommendations.
