News Summary
With snow covering Collierville, families are eagerly preparing for a day of winter fun. However, officials warn residents to avoid sledding at ‘Mount Trashmore’, an active construction site. As safety remains a priority during the winter storm, local parks are open for snowy activities. Residents are encouraged to respect property rules and parking guidelines to ensure a joyous snow day.

Snow Fun Awaits in Collierville, But Avoid “Mount Trashmore”
As the snowflakes start to fall and coat the ground in a beautiful white blanket, the residents of Collierville can hardly contain their excitement. With many schools and businesses across the Mid-South likely closed on Friday, families are gearing up for a day filled with winter fun. Sledding, snow angels, and snowmen are on the agenda for many, but officials are reminding everyone to be safe and smart about their snowy adventures.
Mount Trashmore Off-Limits
One beloved spot for sledding, affectionately known as “Mount Trashmore” (or “E-Plex” as some call it), is off-limits this winter season. Why? Because it’s currently an active construction site. The State of Tennessee has been tirelessly working to properly cap the area for long-term safety. In light of this, Collierville officials have taken to social media to warn residents against sledding in this area. It’s important to note that trespassing is not permitted here, and safety comes first.
Respect the Rules for a Joyful Day
With a winter storm warning in effect for Memphis and the entire Mid-South until early Saturday, it’s essential for residents to stay informed. While the snow creates an idyllic scene for winter activities, safety is key. If you’re heading out to sled, please remember to respect private property and avoid any unauthorized areas. It’s also important to be mindful of parking – make sure not to block driveways or roads when you’re traveling to your chosen sledding spots. We want everyone to enjoy the snow without causing issues for the community!
Safety Tips for Families
Parents, it’s your turn to step up as the snow fun leaders! Supervision is a must when your little ones are sledding, ensuring they stay safe while enjoying their time outdoors. Additionally, don’t even think about pulling sleds behind vehicles. That’s a big no-no when it comes to safe sledding practices.
A Winter Wonderland Awaits
Despite the caution surrounding Mount Trashmore, there are plenty of other places to enjoy the fluffy white stuff. Local parks are bustling with families looking to take advantage of this winter wonderland. Whether you’re sledding, snowboarding, or simply building the biggest snowman your yard has ever seen, the snowy day is sure to create lasting memories.
Community Spirit Shining Bright
The community is rallying together, even prepping food banks for low-income families who might need some extra support during this snowy weather. Local news coverage is buzzing with reports on road conditions, providing updates on how to navigate the winter chill. Even the Memphis Area Transit Authority is making service changes to ensure everyone’s safety and accessibility during this winter storm.
Stay Warm and Stay Safe!
Collierville officials are wishing everyone in the community a safe and enjoyable snowy experience. So grab your sleds, bundle up, and hit the snowy hills – just remember to steer clear of those construction zones! It’s time to make the most of the winter season, create cherished moments, and enjoy every second of this beautiful snowfall!
