About an inch or so of ice this morning in Nashville, maybe 1-1/2". IOW, much ado about nothing.

Looks like a couple inches here in Clarksville. Sent my son out to shovel the drive way while I sit inside and supervise.

Nolensville has a nice sheet of ice with sleet n shit on top of it.
I made it out around 6:10 to test the roads - slid around pretty good and decided to work remote. I went to work last time this happened and it took me 5 hours to get home from downtown at the end of the day. Plus I don't have the jeep any more so the car isn't as "adventurous" for winter driving. I know 4wd doesn't help on ice - but it does help when I slide into a yard and can drive through the yard to keep going

I remember a couple years ago driving back to clarksville after practice doing 35mph in 4Hi. I-24 was a solid sheet of ice. |

In west Knoxville, so far nothing.
I was supposed to go to the office in Chattanooga, but saw the ice/sleet part and decided to wait til tomorrow. I remember last year when it took me 4 1/2 hours to get back from Chattanooga, normally its 1 1/2 hrs. |

Nashville has had a mix of sleet and freezing rain since about 3am.
I woke up around 2am and couldn't get back to sleep, so I tried to find a more up to date forecast on the TV. Some guy was saying (probably recorded last night) that we probably wouldn't get too much accumulation and that bridges and overpasses may get a little icy, but that the roads shouldn't be too bad.
Around 3am, I heard the stuff hitting the roof. I don't think it has let up, since then. Just some variation in what is coming down. I didn't even try to scrape the ice off the car. |

It's an icy mess here in Maryville. I almost slipped on the grass. ON THE GRASS.
Ice is falling from the sky, and literally everything is coated in a pale, glossy layer of slippery. All of this white is ice, not snow.

I didn't even try to drive to Gallatin from Bellevue this morning for work. I just called my boss and told him that ice was a huge problem here, and that I'd try to make it in tomorrow. My little '96 Civic absolutely SUCKS in slippery weather.

About one inch of ice and then three and a half to four inches of snow on top in my part of Clarksville. I gave up on getting out of my driveway after an hour of trying. I live on a little one lane dead end road, so I won't be going anywhere for a while.
Right now the family and I are searching for any movies on the Donner party. |

I just demonstrated my ninja skills by walking across a snow covered yard, and leaving no tracks.
I did hear some sounds, in a few places, that reminded me of the sounds I would hear as a kid, right before the pond ice let me know I had to get off RIGHT NOW, or get wet. ETA: I bet a snowball made from that stuff would hurt. ...if you could manage to chip some off the ground and make a ball out of it. |

I was off today but was told by the boss that I'm "essential personal" and should be there tomorrow at the regular time. I really hope the MP's turn me around. On another note my wife said I was crazy when she found out I was outside grilling pork chops tonight.

We have a thin coating of ice on our vehicles and what water was on the ground is frozen hard but not a terrible winter storm like it could have been. I watched the radar and it seemed that the worst of it went north and south of Turdville. Even an ice storm finds us unappealing.

Step outside and listen. Took the dog out tonight and it was interesting and unusual to hear the wind blowing through the trees. It sounded like, well, thousands of tiny icicles breaking at once. |

The hills of Bellevue are solid ice, so it's another day of hanging out instead of working. We're out of eggs and bacon, too, so they either need to salt & plow our road, or I get to hike/ski/slide down the road to Kroger for supplies.

Yahoo weather is calling for -1° for lincoln County tomorrow night. That means a true reading of about -6° because they are consistently about 5° off .
Wanna get rich? Buy a few hundred feet of PCV and CPVC and fittings. Day after tomorrow drive through any trailer park in the state. Money! |

Made it to work and back in the Tundra yesterday just fine, Lost the back gutter off the house when the sleet got too heavy I guess. Spent a fun, happy half hour getting ice off the wife's car this morning so she could go into work. My grad school at UofM has been cancelled for the last couple of days. Its supposed to get low single digit here in Memphis tomorrow, but at the moment it's probably right at freezing, with a lot of melting going on here at the plant.

Main roads are good In Nashville, but our neighborhood is still a slick, nasty mess. We made a run to Kroger without incident, but getting back in was not fun. Lots of wheel spin trying to get Mrs. IHJ's Jetta up the last 50ft of road.

Made the quarter mile hike to the mailbox, before it got dark.
Our road is still solid ice (on the bright side, it filled in the potholes). Main road looks like the plow came through, sometime today. I guess I'll have to try to make the drive to work, tomorrow.

For those who don't know John, I'm just kidding! 
I went down I-24 towards Chatt @ 3am yesterday. Mandatory court appearance for my niece & Chatt had no ice nor snow, so court was open. Wasn't too bad until I got to I-24 & Harding & then it became a SOLID sheet of ice. Fishtailing at a mere 30mph. Got to HH area & I bet we saw 200-300 truckers parked on the side of the interstate, end to end. Both sides too. Saw multiple jack knife accidents, trucks in the grass median, one on its side, etc. Once we got past Manchester/Tullahoma, the road became pretty clear & we made good time. Niece got 2 yrs probation & had to pay $1500 restitution. Anybody need a female roommate?
