[Guest jsjracing]

Just now....light rain and the road looks slushy

[wareagle]

yes, Knoxville is getting freezing rain. Roads are slushy now, but are supposed to freeze. LIghts have been flickering for hours, so I'm sure we'll lose power sometim this AM.

[tennessee01tacoma]

Up here on the Cumberland plateau we've got 6 inches and it's snowing hard...

temperature is at 19-21 degrees and the salt trucks have stopped spreading salt..they're just trying to keep the major roads scraped...my road hasn't had any attention at all...good thing I've got a jeep

About the same in Bristol. Weatherman was off the mark this time!

Just got back from NY. Spent last night in Wytheville, VA. woke up to about 8 inches on the ground and was snowing hard all the way to about Glade Spring, VA. Roads were bad. Nice to get home to just a dusting and a cold rain.

Thanks to everybody who posted. This was way more reliable than the weather channel and the local weatherdorks.

Yet another example why TGO rocks.

Memphis is covered with black ice since the sun has gone down, there will be ton of wrecks tonight. I went and got food and it was interesting driving....especially stopping!

I LIKE DOING DONUTS!!!!!

[DAdams]

Here in Tellico Village Loudon County we lost power for about 4 hours last night due to tree limbs.

I learned my house looses about one degree per hour at 32 degrees.

Finally got to drag out all the LED lanterns for awhile.

26 so far tonight and a few pellets. A Loudon County Plow just went by, the first I have seen.

This will all be over soon. Cracks another beer.

Watched seven movies today.

[Guest jackdm3]

Went to La Delicias, and Paradiso Movies. Saw "Leap Year" for the lady. Totally formulaic. "Edge of Darkness" with Mel Gibson creeping back into the limelight. And "Extraordinary Measures" with Harrison Ford. Formulaic Lifetime TV-type crap shot on crap-TV-quality video. The wrong medium for movies. Easy drive home.

No power since 6AM. Although, tearing through the snow in a go kart is good times.

[Guest Jamie]

Saw something today that I never would've guessed would happen in a million years: Three snowmobiles tearing down the middle of my road, flying past the house...

Didn't know there was even one of the damned things in this area, much less three of 'em.

Summer ain't gonna get here soon enough....

[Guest jackdm3]

They're flying to Canada before the ice melts on their way back. See? No ice left in Memphis. Summer starts tomorrow. Enjoy!

Musta been some of them there outatowners.

I did actually see a snowmobile in someones garage a few months ago.

Boy, do I miss a good day of snowmobiling. One of the very few things I miss about the north.

[Guest Jamie]

Musta been some of them there outatowners.

I hope so, 'cause I see too many more of 'em, and I may have to move...

( I've always said I would never live anywhere that snowmobiling, skiing, or dog sledding were major pass-times. )

Only time I have ever seen one around here a buddy of mine had it and we played in the mud not snow. He moved down here from Minnesota.

Had about 6-8 inches of snow fall Friday afternoon up on Flattop Mountain. Had to take Polaris Ranger about a mile down our low traffic, secondary road to pick up my grown daughter who couldn't get to our homes due to four vehicles in the road and/or ditch blocking the road. Snow coming down heavily. Also took one man home about a half a mile away because his vehicle couldn't get up a hill. Fun ride back home with the daughter in a Ranger with no windshield and heavy snow. Wrapped daughter up in one of my extra heavy coats and a blanket over her head for the ride home. I will put the windshield in the Ranger this week.

Ice and sleet fell Friday night. Covered everything. Electricity went out about 3 AM Saturday morning. Just got electricity back on again at 1:30 PM today (Sunday). Ice just starting to fall off of trees.

It sure is fun living on a mountain.

Just got back from clarksville. the sun really did the roads good today. All highways were clear and secondary roads are in good shape too. My gravel road is still covered but everything esle is passable by just about anything.

[Volzfan]

Our roads in S. Nashville are still covered. My wife's office is going to open late @ 10am. By that time we should be OK.

[Guest Sgt. Joe]

Jackson made 37 today, and nothing else fell. Just got warm enough to slush things up real good. But then dropped quickly starting about 4PM......it is now 25 and temp. still falling.

All snow and or ice is still on ground and should be pretty froze solid in AM.

I have not ventured out to check main roads but live on a highly traveled secondary road and it is still a slushy mess.

This storm and last years early Mar one are the only times I have seen people drive anywhere near the speed limit on our road, they have been in creep mode all day.

Schools are closed again for tomorrow, except ours which is at home, the kids are not so happy about that.

I really hope we get temps high enough to at least melt the stuff off the roads as I will have no choice but to get out in the next few days.

Front wheel drive van does not do well on ice, not that many vehicles do but these are times I wish I had a 4 wheel drive jeep.

I also noticed the radar images seemed to be a few hours behind yest, odd as the NHC ones are usually right on, but yest they were showing all clear while it was still falling last night.

YOU BET TGO ROCKS......If ya cant find it here ya probably dont need to know it:p
