It's day 12 of the Nashville power outage. It's looking like this might be the day that there is 100% restoration. Not sure though. NES just published a new arcgis map to see where outages remain.

Honestly this is not a huge deal but considering kids remain out of school here in WNC, any snow nuisance probably needs to be addressed.

The social media 👀-opening snow maps that were published before the eventual ice storm of Jan 24/25 likely f*cked up the preparation and/or damage mitigation by the general public, emergency management, and utility companies of middle Tennessee.

Metro Nashville schools have been out since the ice storm (Jan 26). Decent chance they will return to the classroom tomorrow, Feb 3.

Still quite the windy snowstorm ongoing for Eastern NC and SE Virginia. Likely brief periods of a bona fide blizzard overnight and this morning.
