UPDATE #4: The NWS in Memphis has cancelled the Winter Storm Advisory. Thus, I will stop commenting on this storm system except for a wrapup, which will come tonight.

UPDATE #3 (10:29 AM): The Winter Storm Warning has been downgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory. It has begun to sleet again here in Germantown, after a break in the precip that lasted about an hour. I have only seen one car on my street this morning. It seems that many people are taking the advice and staying home. In a little bit, I will venture outside to measure the accumulated precip and to take some more pictures.
Precip Report (as of 10:15 AM)
This map is based on storm reports from WFO MEG.
UPDATE #2 (8:54 AM): I have posted some pictures of the sleet in my area. Look to the right of this post and you can see them.
DATA NOTE (7:51 AM): I cannot verify this, but I think my anemometer on my weather station is frozen. The wind speed is still functioning, but, according to the weather station, the wind direction has been the same since 3:00 am. You can check my data (updated every 8 seconds) here. Also, MEG is reporting 1/4" of sleet in Downtown Memphis.
UPDATE (7:09 AM): MEG has first official report of snow in Union City, TN - 2 inches. Just a warning: "METALLIC SURFACES SUCH AS FENCES HAVE BEEN COLLECTING ICE. EXPECT ROAD CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE RAPIDLY. BRIDGE AND OVERPASSES WILL BE SLICK." (Quote from Short Term Forecast)
ORIGINAL POST (6:07 AM):Happy Saturday, everyone.
If you're in the Memphis area, you probably already know that it's been icing ever since around midnight. I really do not have any new info to tell you, except that the SPC has issued a mesoscale discussion concerning this event. Basically, all they are saying is that winter weather will continue throughout the day. (Gee, that tells me a lot!)
I will be updating this blog throughout the day, so check back often!
