The first non-cancelled class post ice storm is tomorrow evening. I will actually have to put on real pants for the first time since Friday. Not sure how I feel about this.

“People are always asking me…”

No, they aren’t.

“No but honestly, friends are constantly wanting me to tell them….”

No, they aren’t.

“A lot of people have messaged me…”

Show us.

If you want to talk about something or make a point, just do it, but stop making “others” responsible for it.

“To you this is murder?”

“Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.”

It is such a struggle to bring myself to create anything lately, but my soul itches to create. The struggle is so hard.

Does anyone else feel this suppressed rage inside, unable to settle on an activity, unable to focus, unable to do the things that bring you joy? I just want to scream. We weren’t meant to have our nervous systems this jacked up for so long. Every day is a new horror.

Gonna leave this here.

Latest from NWS Nashville: "The radar is starting to fill in with more significant freezing rain lifting into southern Tennessee. Expect this heavier precipitation to continue through the morning. We'll also continue to watch where the above freezing temperatures can make it. Unfortunately, (1/3)

@nashseverewx.com - South Spring Hill - light glaze of ice on my backyard bushes. Seems to be spitting a flurry right now. Top layer of snow has decent compacted sleet layer.

@nashseverewx.com - Using the black paper trick, we are starting to see some actual rain drops mix with the sleet in south Spring Hill. The actual size of the sleet pellets is shrinking as well.

Tomorrow's Preds game has been moved from 2:30 to 12:30. I still don't think they get this game in before roads get bad. Bridgestone is going to be pretty empty if I had to guess.

Last bit of prep for the snow/ice storm: the library. Got books for just about everyone.

Stamkos is tearing it up. Glad to see him hit his stride finally.
Steven Stamkos recorded his 16th career hat trick, the third most by an active player, to lift the /PredsNHL to a three-goal comeback victory and pass Marcel Dionne on an all-time list in the process.

The uncertainty of this storm is driving me crazy, though not unexpected. We could get 0-8" of snow, .25"-1" of ice, sleet, and/or rain. This is nuts...

🧵A few scenarios based on what we know as of 8:45 am 1/22/26. The HRRR is just now coming in range, at last. It only runs through 6am on Saturday, just as the precip gets here. It thinks it'll be snow initially. Seems reasonable. Every 6 hours today, we'll get 6 more hours of the HRRR. (1/7)

Not me freaking out because I can't get my gas fireplace to light and we are trending more towards an ice storm than a snow storm.

Not me constantly refreshing weather apps to see what the forecasted snow amounts end up being on each run. I won't take anything seriously yet, but hot damn that's a lot of snow. (8-14" in middle TN?!)
