The grocery stores and the Home Depot owners are celebrating like it's 1999.
And propane dealers!

A tree limb about the size of Rhode Island decided to meet one of my sheds .
Around daylight , sounded like a cannon going off , good thing I was wearing my brown pants .
This is just the start , there's about 3 - 4 inches down and were expected to get anywheres from 12 to 24 inches when all is said and done .

There is sleet and ice under this and now actual big fluffy snow flakes. Memphis is officially just frozen in. Drifts of 6 inches to a foot deep. No real wind to speak of and no power issues at least at my place.

We're in N. GA.
Still just sleet here. Thankfully. Cold AF though.

I will say that Greenland deploying their weather on us was an unanticipated first strike.
Make sure you put the old mower and weed whacker in there.
Still icy here, roads are covered and now I have sinus infection. Even though I'm work from home I called in sick. not dealing with them today.

Wow, yall are getting hammered over yonder. Stay safe and warm, guys! It's the opposite for us right now. We're at 11" for the season, 3 feet behind our average, not good at all. Most everyone here counts on the snow "pack" to melt slowly, fill the wells, keep the fire danger down in summer. So, when yall crawl out of your white tombs, send some of that this-a-way, if you please. 
Broski, now ya got cold clean-up, and that bites. Nothing important was in there, right?
It's never a fun job when you don't normally expect it.
This is a pack worth shoveling. Up here we're used to this, but we're in short supply right now. Our Canadian Brothers can testify to what a snow load is, but you guys on the eastern side seem to get wild storms quite often, it seems. Below was in 2008, and 2014 was much worse with many roof collapses in the area, including a brand-new AC hanger, bummer! Ya, a few birds got bent. Word was he had a P-51 in there somewhere, but I've never seen it, might still have been in crates.
This is what a normal winter looks like up here, but not this year.

That's a dusting, Saul, but good to see the metal roof.I have several roasts for the oven (low and slow cooking) which can help keep the kitchen warm. My biggest concern is always my roof. After suffering ice dams, and repairing the cause, I still don't trust my handiwork!
I've had no leaks but I 'attribute' that to my using a roof rake and ensuring that there is minimal to no snow on the roof where the ice dams occurred. I will be dead tired on Sunday.

@Steve Ski, that wasn't my photo, simply illustrating the rake. We had 16 inches here and I was out THREE times raking so there wasn't much of a snow load.
