We're due to get it on Friday night, but with rain every day and night between now and then, I'm more concerned about the ice from moisture already here than what the storm brings with it. As the county grew out to where we are, our area (about half of a square mile which used to be all agricultural), was surrounded by much newer streets and curbed neighborhoods with city sewers and other city-style elements. What that means is that we are among the last to see a snow removal crew, and there are no curbs on what used to be a country road, so the high domed street will slide you right off into a little ditch on either side of the road in an instant. About 4 inches of snow paralyzes us, and a quarter inch of ice closes us down the same way.
Look out Memphis. You are looking at worse than we are.
