Yeah the Canadian and GFS models that ran this afternoon are not kind to Starkville.
look like a huge mess
Hey SVD your Clarksdale and Cleveland Cams getting some great shots. And all you Jackson EDers better load up on Water since we know what happens to the Jackson water system during freezes.
looking like temps arent going to be as bad as they thought. Central MS wont go below freezing overnight per NWS. Just cold rain with a high of 38 tomorrow.
Interesting. All my apps say high is 30 tomorrow in Clinton. And 10-15 mph north winds.Quote:

Hey SVD checkout your Cleveland Cam. Its covered in ice.
Temps should drop to freezing around sunrise and freezing rain is expected until maybe noon. Expected ice accretion in Clinton is maybe between a quarter and half an inch. Hopefully it'll be less.Quote:

Thank goodness the precipitation is over because much more and a lot more lines would be coming down. Think we are around 75-1.0” of ice accumulation right now so these lines are probably on the brink.
Edit to add: seems we have a couple substations with damage.
Union County is a mess... i can't even walk to the highway 1/4 mile away. Too many downed trees and power lines making it too dangerous to traverse. It may be weeks before we get power out here.
I’ve got 3 inches of ice right outside my front door here in Shreve. No school M/T
Keep in mind that unlike most winter events where it snows or ices and then 2 days later it's 60 outside, we are in for a period of sustained cold for the next 7-10 days minimum. Large parts of western and north MS will be without power and heat that entire time. The true effects of this storm are just now beginning.
Blue Mountain and Tippah County have no natural gas or water.Quote:

Southern part of delta is the worst: South Washington co, Sharkey, issaquena, Humphreys and Yazoo have a lot of damage and outages.Quote:

We had a bad ice storm down here last year and we had no major lines downed due to ice or falling trees.
A lot of places still have power right now due to lines being buried. I know they're saying the only places in Oxford that have power have buried power lines.Quote:

TVA supply lines and sub-stations were hit hard in Oxford. The one by the university is back up and they're working on the west Oxford and Taylor sub-stations now.
Yea I think that's the main problem for the buried lines in Oxford is that the Substation is down or got hit.Quote:

If any of ya'll want to see something amazing pull up the GOES 19 Geocolor Satellite and look at the Snow Swath on the ground from Texas all the way up to Maine.
Its big news when HELL freezes overQuote:

Also some substations took a lick I believe. May be the end of the week for power where I live. And about to get cold again!!! But at least the ice will be goneQuote:

On Satellite the entire delta is still under ice. But look up MDOT and check road conditions. Camera at the Bridge show it still iced.Quote:

And this weekend the Temps are going to really plummet. Sat Forecast HIGH is 35.
Yea I've talked to a couple of people who were trying to go Oxford to Memphis til their power was turned back on. One said they left at noon yesterday and got to Memphis at 6 and the other left yesterday afternoon around 3 and was still not past the North Batesville exit last night at 7 PM. Said a lot of people were trying to turn around but then they were getting stuck in the median.Quote:
