Arctic Blast Causes Road Issues, School Delays

Cold air led to temperatures in the 20s and 30s, and snow flurries across Middle Tennessee made the roads slick for motorists.

A Winter Weather Advisory remained in effect for the northern border areas of Tennessee, where additional snow fell on Monday.

In far southeast Middle Tennessee, a Wind Advisory was in place through Monday afternoon, with wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph. Parts of the state near the Virginia border have already experienced heavy snow, as shown in these pictures.

Eastern counties in Tennessee could see between 0.5 and 1 inch of snow by the end of Monday, with a growing list of school delays and closures.

Ogles' Campaign Funds Under Investigation

The Office of Congressional Ethics has announced plans to further investigate allegations that Republican Rep. Andy Ogles may have misrepresented or omitted information in his financial disclosures.

The inquiry centers on allegations that Ogles' campaign committee, "Andy Ogles for Congress," may have received excessive contributions misreported as personal loans and candidate contributions, potentially sourced from funds other than his own.

Ogles acknowledged that his campaign's initial financial filings contained errors, claiming the concerns were previously reported and have already been addressed.

A Tennessee native, Ogles has represented District 5 since 2023. He resides on a farm south of Columbia, and his district encompasses Lewis, Maury, and Marshall counties, along with portions of Davidson, Williamson, and Wilson counties.

Truck Filled with Liquid Chocolate Overturns

A tanker transporting liquid chocolate overturned in East Tennessee on Saturday, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP).

Troopers and Greene County first responders were on the scene after the truck, carrying thousands of gallons of liquid chocolate, overturned on Highway 340 near the Greene and Cocke County line. A video of the scene is available.

The tanker's driver sustained injuries and was airlifted to the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

The road remained closed for several hours while the Tennessee Department of Transportation worked to reroute traffic.

Stability. Wealth Protection. Long-Term Financial Growth. This is what many Americans are searching for when they invest in precious metals like gold and silver. But what's the best way to buy these precious metals?

Do you buy an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund), or do you get your hands on the real thing? Here's the thing about ETFs… You don't actually own the gold or silver. You can't take physical delivery of the metal. Taxes and fees can eat away at your gains. Shares may or may not have sufficient gold or silver backing. But with physical gold or silver, you are the one in the driver's seat.

You have the control you're looking for with your hard-earned money. If you want to learn more about buying and controlling your own physical gold and silver, get your free copy of… How To Buy Gold & Silver—A Beginner's Guide To Today's Most Desired Assets
