We have the same here, south of Memphis. It's currently 3F. Tomorrow's forecast is snow. I've been living at this latitude for most of my adult life. This is the second time near Memphis and I've been hear less than 2.5 years. This first time I came hear was January 1978. I arrived to the aftermath of ice and snow and freezing temperatures back then. Having come from Western New York, I thought nothing of it.-5°F actual with -10°F windchill. About 6" of "partly cloudy" on the ground. 'Sposta get to the upper teens temp wise today but more "accumulating" snow forecast for tomorrow. The Honda and Yammy wait patiently in the garage for next week when we get back in the 50°'s!

I've lived here all my life as well, 'cept when I was "vacationing" with my "uncle" in the USMC. I'm used to this sorta shit every five years or so but it still doesn't make it any more pleasant and the older I get, the crankier I get when it happens. My only salvation is that I know it is short lived and spring is right around the corner!We have the same here, south of Memphis. It's currently 3F. Tomorrow's forecast is snow.

I live in a civilized part of the country. No power outages YET.High of a balmy 11° today. Rollin' down through 8° on it's way to 2° as the next system rolls through. Power has been going out on our block... not the rolling blackouts... these just last for a minute or two. Although, the duration seems to be getting longer.
No matter, let it go dark. Plenty of dry wood in the garage and the wood stove is justa cookin'. Bring it on.
