Originally called for 1 - 2 inches, but just got a revised update of 3 - 5 inches. So that could mean anything. I should have been a weather forecaster cause even when your wrong your right.

Snow today along the Tenn, line supposed to get down to 6 degrees tonight. Lots of black ice, high winds and curvey two line mountain roads. I've got two of those small oil filled electric heaters. If we lose power I'll have to camp out next to the wood stove to keep from busting water pipes in my studio.
About 34F here, had a bit of snow but it schmelted into ice and we've got more freezing rain to make driving pleasant and interesting.
Gonna get down low, low, low for a bit in temps after tonight. And next weekend will drop down solid into the -teens and below, with a cold front pushing down and lots of tropical love coming up the coast to make a dead zone of 20's temperatures in between, all converging around Lake Erie.
