In the quiet of late night Nashville, the air is crisply cold at -5.5°C, as if the city has wrapped itself in a cool winter shawl. The wind blows lightly at 6.2 kph, hardly stirring the leafless branches of the slumbering trees. The sky overhead is a clear, dark canvas, dotted sparsely with stars.

Earlier today, Nashville braved a chilly high of -0.1°C, flirting with the freezing point but never quite relinquishing the grip of the frost. The wind at times took a bold stance, gusting up to 17.4 kph, making the cold air whip around corners and rustle through the wintry barren landscape. Despite the overcast skies that loomed earlier, the day remained dry with not a drop of precipitation.

As the city moves deeper into the night, the temperature steadfastly holds at -6°C, mirroring the early dawn’s low. The wind has calmed, whispering at a gentle 7.2 kph. In this tranquil night setting, the promise of clear skies holds firm, forecasting a starlit vista until the breaking of dawn.

In such cold tranquility, Nashville rests, the evening unfolding with a serene predictable grace, awaiting the sun’s return to ease the chill just enough to remind us of the approaching day.
