Memphis is bracing for another possible ice storm.
Winter weather warnings were initially only for areas north and south of Memphis.
But an Ice Storm Warning was later updated to include the entire MidSouth.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Memphis then predicted possibly two rounds of ice. The first round would come through Monday evening and into Tuesday morning. The next round would come Tuesday evening.
NWS Memphis Lead forecaster Michael Hill explained it all here:
NWS Memphis warned the storm could cause “power outages, travel difficulties, and tree damage.”
Memphis Light, Gas & Water (MLGW) said Monday afternoon that it was preparing for severe weather.
“Impacts to the MLGW service area may include power outages, tree damage, and travel difficulties,” MLGW said in a statement. “MLGW crews and additional contract crews are ready to respond to any local damage or outages.”
For all of this, the Facebook page The Damn Weather of Memphis issued a Liquor Store Warning to be in effect until Wednesday morning. It also said the storm is a “solid 6.3 on The Holy Shit Damn Scale.”
“Don’t be a dumbass,” the page said. “The roads will simply look wet, then you come up on an overpass and see an Infiniti on its roof.”
