Snow is predicted to start tonight with up to 1/4" before midnight and howling NW winds of 5-10 mph.

Tomorrow it gets much worse with up to 1/2" of additional accumulation! Memphis may shut down this

evening or early tomorrow morning. The entire metropolitan area is scrambling to stock up on milk, bread

fresh vegetables and canned goods. We may be trapped in our homes for the entire weekend!

 

 

 

There goes the premium for batteries and generators!

Stay safe

Ahhhh! Run away!  (read that ala "Halo" grunt)

So, your going to get a total of 3/4 of an inch of snow, and 10-15 mph wind and the whole town will shut down. Heck, we would have been shut down since late Nov. up here if that were the case. So far this week alone we had 7 in. in 3 different snow falls and Tue. nite we had 25-35 mph winds and nothing even slowed down. We have had 47" of snow this winter according to the NWS. Have fun and be careful, Sounds like a good time to open a bottle of "sippin" whiskey and hunker down.

As a former truck driver[retired]was always amazed at different parts of thr country handled weather--do understand that you in Memphis do not see much in the way of winter weather--use to go out to Presidents island pretty regular--it is funny to an outsider to see people "panic' about 3/4 in of snow---stay safe road warrior    no disrespect to anyone--just my observation from many years in different parts of our GREAT country

Moving to VA from the Rochester, NY area was an eye opener. 'Course I lived in Dallas for years, but a light dusting down here and schools close, or at best delay opening for 2 hours.

 

Though I'm confident and schooled driving in these conditions, the locals aren't, which makes it dangerous.

I hate when that happens.

 

The storm will be heading to the coast and it looks like us in Virginia and from the Carolinas and into New Jersey will feel your pain.

 

Hope you don't lose electricity and are safe.

Wow! Sounds like you southern guys better stock up on wisk brooms.

Agreed. 3/4 inch of snow wouldn't hardly even get mentioned here. We've gotten 16 inches in the past week with 12 of it coming in 24 hrs and for the most part everything stayed open. No govt or school closures. On the other hand, if we got anywhere near the rain you guys get in the summer we'd have major flooding.

Y'all know this is all tongue-in-cheek, right? 

RW get up to higher elevations and avoid the avalanche.

You forgot the eggs.  Drifts of 1 to 1.25 inches could clog highways for days.  Snow fighting equipment is being sent from Florida by FEMA.  Drivers are advised to carry a salt shaker in their cars in case they get stuck on a snowflake.

So I guess you guys won't be wearing your flip flops for a couple of days?

Tony Montoya had more snow on his desk
