Here in Memphis it's ice and sleet. We are shut down and a second round is forecast

for 3:00 this afternoon.

My wife is at a work conference in nashville.  Fortunately, she's in the hotel where the conference is and everything else is walking distance.  She says its a mess.

Where's @TnRiver46?  I bet he'll soon post a photo of this grizzly scene.

Hopefully it won’t be as bad as the forecast says.

It whipped Memphis,  put a beating on Nashville and didn’t have anything left for us.  I’m just east of Nashville.  I doubt if the folks in Michigan would be very impressed with our winter storms.  ?

 

While we didn't get any ice, our schools are still closed because it's scary when the weather man talks about icy roads.

I’m in Memphis area also & work on President’s Island. Think our work is shutting down around 3 to get home before the worst of it hits. 
 

I’m so over winter already!! I’m ready for warmer weather & flip flops. ?

We got it yesterday.  We have icy roads and a couple of hundred schools closed.  Another round is coming through MO before it heads your way.  It may be gone by the weekend with temperatures warm enough for fishing.

Driving on ice is bad no matter where you live.

Especially if & when the local road commission is not equipped to handle it.

Sand & salt are spread here liberally from Nov thru Apr.

There's an inch of both on the deck in my garage under my truck right now.

And I don't drive that much in the winter.

The biggest enemy even here is not the road conditions.

It's other drivers.

If you don't need to drive, my advice is don't.

Stay Safe.

Ill agree with what @A-Jay said...ice sucks no matter what. Its a nightmare to drive on especially when people aren't used to the conditions. Although us northern guys may not be impressed by what you guys call cold or snow, ice is a totally different deal. I lived right outside of Houston back in the 90s...when I was in 8th grade we had the first snow and ice my town had seen in decades. It stayed below freezing and they had no equipment to remove the  few inches of snow and half inch of ice. They closed my school for like 4 days because of it.

A Jay that’s our problem here around Memphis even when the roads aren’t bad. ? I’ve been driving home from work on I55 in rush hr traffic with idiots racing at speeds of 100+ mph. ??

We ended up with nothing as usual
