The forecasters were not kidding about this event. At 8 P.M. yesterday, it hit here in N.W. Tennessee with high winds and flash freezing. The power went off briefly, and it was time to light the kerosine heater and turn on lanterns and chemical lights. Then the power came back on, praise the Lord. At 5 A.M. this morning -3° F. very breezy, and about 2” of sleet, ice, and snow. How is it where you are? 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now supposed to snow through Saturday, but light snow. Temps around zero with 25 mph wind, so wind chill is significant. My kids in Lexington KY have colder temps then we have here with more ice and snow than we have. So it appears that the south has more issues then we do up north. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is usually enough warm air south in the US to keep the cold air from going south. This week everything changed. We have had some freak weather for Dec. Tonight mainly. We go from the 50'sF to 10F overnight. Lots of rain and very wet now. Yesterday there was a 20 car pile up on the road I take. My wife persuaded me not to go in. I could get there and not be able to return home due to ice. I'll drive in lots of things but ice isn't one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
