MEMernet: That Memphis Weather

Memphis on the internet.

That Memphis Weather

Memphis holidays were balmy, in the 70s each day. Then, rain and wind blew sideways. Then, the temperature dropped 45 degrees in a day. Then, snow fell Sunday. Unique or not, Memphis weather proved more unpredictable than usual over the last week and it kept the MEMernet buzzing.

Here’s a rundown of 2021’s daily temperatures via a crocheted blanket by Memphis Reddit user u/worldbound0514.

“It starts at the top left (January 1st) and goes diagonally to the bottom right (December 31st). The colors represent a 10 degree range. Dark purple is 10-19 [degrees] F. Navy blue is 20-29 [degrees] F. Sea blue is 30-39 [degrees] F. It goes all the way to 90-99 [degrees] F in burgundy.”

Reddit user u/mcwap gave a well-deserved shout-out to Memphis Light, Gas & Water crews, fixing light poles, downed by Saturdays’ storm, in Sunday’s snow fall.

Something else fell from the sky near u/midtownFPV’s Central Gardens homes on New Year’s Eve, a bullet.

“Found in my driveway this morning,” said the poster. “And my workshop roof has a brand new hole in it too.” A massive amount of (apparently, hopefully) celebratory gunfire was reported on nearly all MEMernet social channels that night.
