Nashville hasn't seen this much snow (5 inches) in about 10 years and but Paris, Illinois native Brett Eldredge grew up with snowy winters. Brett offered, "We'd still have school sometimes when it snowed eight inches, but Nashville's not equipped with all the stuff that back home they get."

The snow doesn't bring him down and the way Nashville handles it, he understands. He said, "It's pretty crazy to watch: unless it's a main road, nothing is plowed. And instead of being bummed about it, you just get out there in it. I've been sledding down streets and all sorts of things in Nashville and just embracing it."

Eldredge is also embracing positive vibes with her new song "Good Day." "You do wake up with a choice like, 'What ever is going to happen, I'm going to have a good day,'" he said. "I think what our world's been through in the last year and a half, I think it's a good message to put your best foot forward, be there for other people and for yourself."
