Hope that everyone stays safe in this winter storm. Sleet and cold in SE Arkansas. Waiting on this evening's ice storm. I hate winter

  Some of our members are going to be impacted by the worse of the worse...ice storms that will be bringing down power lines...John Gorday in Jackson, Mississippi comes to mind.   

  The snow began falling here around 10 p.m. last night.  As of 11:30 a.m. this morning I can report an unofficial 3" on the ground...its still snowing...will be so until sometime this evening.  Current temp. is -16 windchill.
  Last evening 5 p.m ish I went to our local Walmart for some absolute last minute items.  It looked like it did during the pandemic...bottled water was wiped out, paper plates, bowls ect. almost cleared out. What makes this even more concerning is that we have a Walmart distribution center here locally.
  When it comes to weather, this guy is awesome..   https://www.youtube.com/@RyanHallYall  ..he will be going LIVE for 12 hours beginning around 1 p.m. Central Time.  I encourage you to check it out.

HA, I watch Ryan Hall too! Max Velocity also, but I'm a news and weather junkie. I live about an hour and a half west of John. power company did one of those all call things saying that if our area gets the projected 1/2" to 3/4" of ice there will be wide spread outages and they'd send out crews as soon as it's safe. Fingers crossed for us and everyone else!

Here in eastern New Mexico, I can report just a dusting of snow. Our issues are the 5° temperature with blowing winds a 10-25 mph sustained! I got two words for y'all: HOT CHOCOLATE!!!
