We have not seen it this bad since we lived in Oklahoma. We live just a few miles north of the MS state line, so we got everything North MS did. We are not as bad as Oxford, though, which is just terrible. We do still have power and water but housebound due to an accumulation of 4-5 in of layers of pure snow, then pure sleet, topped off with a thick layer of ice. But the really bad part….the Temperatures!! Low single digits since Saturday. We are not very optimistic going forward either. There has been no melting of anything. Even though we are told temps will moderate in the next few days, we are expecting another Arctic blast which will preserve most of what we have on the ground now. Our daughter in Brentwood (Nashville) lost power early Sunday morning. After three days of trying to stay warm with a gas fireplace and very little internet service to stay in touch with updates, she is moving with her little dog Mia to a Hilton near Franklin.
Sue and Panzey, I’m glad you started this thread. I’d like to hear from others, too. I did not see it til now because I’m trying to keep full batteries just in case we do lose power as MLGW is trying to work with outages. Lots to think about but we do have plenty of food water just in case. Sometimes unexpected infrastructure emergencies happen after the original hit. Yep. Been there; done that.
