The Fairgrounds is set up for overnight shelter, and Southeast Community Center, Madison Community Center, and the Nashville Fire Dept training academy are also available as warming locations in addition to every police precinct (except Central and East) and fire station. Please stay warm and safe.

Burying power lines is expensive and will take a long time. Time to make a plan.

NFD and MNPD are opening all Nashville Fire Stations and Metro Nashville Police Precinct Community Rooms, except for the Central Precinct and the East Precinct, as warming locations for residents affected by the current cold weather. These locations will be open 24/7 until further notice.

Reporting more than 215,000 power outages, city officials provided updates Sunday afternoon on temporary warming centers and primary snow routes.

Some tips on staying warm for those without power. Check in on your neighbors, especially those that may be elderly or have medical issues.

A Cold Weather Advisory will be in effect from midnight tonight thru 6p Monday for wind chills as low as 0° to -5°. An Extreme Cold Warning will then go into effect starting 6p Monday thru noon on Tuesday. Wind chill values will be as cold as -10° during this time.

It’s not super clear to me what the cause is, but if it’s trees falling on power lines (which is a recurring event during severe weather), I continue to be confused about why we don’t just bury the power lines like seemingly every other major city.

Going outside, especially under a tree or phone pole is not going to be safe for a while. Precip continues. 730am.

NEW: Cold Weather Advisory will go into effect Sunday night at midnight and expire at noon Tuesday. NWS: "Very cold wind chills as low as 0 to 10 below expected. The cold wind chills as low as 10 below zero could result in hypothermia if precautions are not taken."

I'm live now for Hermitcraft Stream day weekend! twitch.tv/cubfan135

Been looking at radar for about an hour. Dry Air Monster is munching snow above us like a champ. But he'll be full soon. OHX launched their balloon a bit ago and report that it's below 32 all the way up and largely dry. Dew points will rise, saturation will occur, and then you'll see snow.

HermitCraft stream weekend is starting! Xisuma is up first and I go live in a couple hours!

This is yet another reason why local meteorologists like the folks at @nashseverewx.com are so appreciated!

It’s critical to be aware of the winter weather and the conditions it creates this weekend. Here’s how @nashville.gov is helping you be ready: www.nashville.gov/departments/...

the job market is gonna be so good for people who didn't rake their brain over the AI coals for years being capable of thinking and knowing things without a chatbot will go so hard

Dolly Plowton turned in front of my car as I was leaving the East Convenience Center yesterday. I was dropping off old corroded batteries 🪫 to be properly recycled. The East Convenience Center is super nice now. The old battery bucket appears to have been retired as part of the Glow-up.

Enjoy my funny voices? I'm starting this week's voice acting practice stream now with some Hades II! youtube.com/live/NFro67c...

Did a last run last night and inventoried supplies from after the last one (lights, blankets, water filters, etc)

If you live anywhere expecting rough weather this weekend, now might be the last opportunity to open your pantry and fridge and dash out to the store. Otherwise, whatever is in there is what you’ll be stuck with when the snow and ice hit.

It's a good thing Xisuma is incredibly patient, because he's invited Skizz and I for a tour of his bundle boutique! youtu.be/X1xd-zZj_WQ

* IMPACTS...Expect power outages and tree damage due to the ice. Travel could be impossible. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1. (2/2)

NWS: A Winter Storm Warning goes into effect midnight Friday night and will expire 6pm Sunday. * WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation expected. Total snow and sleet accumulations between 2 and 8 inches and ice accumulations up to one quarter inch. (1/2)

This weekend is a Hermitcraft Stream Weekend! live.hermitcraft.com

A winter storm watch has been issued for Friday night through Sunday. "Confidence is increasing in a major winter storm." -NWS Nashville More details in the blog later.

And now for the weather!

Happy MLK day, folks! If you live somewhere they don’t teach about the US Civil Rights movement in schools, I’d like to recommend picking up John Lewis’s March Trilogy of graphic memoirs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_(...

My latest #HermitCraft episode is live now at: youtu.be/P4qlC_mppYg My pal ZombieCleo shows me some neat chiropterraforming, and Scar swings by my Art Deco TV studio for a test interview on the set of my upcoming talk show, "Only at Night with Joe Hills." I hope you like it!

The Nobel committee claims its prizes are non-transferable, but let’s be real here. Anyone smart enough to receive a Nobel prize is probably smart enough to find a guy who’ll buy one.

Can we please re-open the library soon too?

It's the fifteenth of January, so this is my quarterly reminder to self-employed folks to submit your quarterly taxes! I always start by asking myself, "what's the name of the EFTPS website?" #myProcess

Undecided whether this is a birding high or low but I was looking out of the window earlier telling a bird it was beautiful and how much I loved it and @joehills.net came up the stairs and said ‘Talking to your Junco’s?’ 😍😂

Just watched Ryan Coogler’s film Sinners. It felt exceptionally caringly-constructed as a period piece with great locations and costumes, and also came across as very fun for the actors and musicians involved. A well-structured slow-build to landslide vampire horror. Strongly recommend.

Join Cleo and I on our weekly crafts stream tomorrow at 8:30am Central as I attempt to fabricate a flexible hose to replace this decayed vacuum-cleaner part!

I just saw this poll on tumblr and if you wanted to vote for me, I’d appreciate it. www.tumblr.com/fr3sh-c0rn-2...

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

Happy New Year! My first #hermitcraft episode of 2026 opens with my guesses for Cubfan's 2026 predictions contest, and continues with my challenge to create solid New Years resolutions! youtu.be/KWxTtBeBNNI

I'm kicking off day two of HermitCraft livestream weekend now at twitch.tv/joehills! Full schedule: live.hermitcraft.com

If you need to unwind with creative folks this upcoming weekend, look no further than the HermitCraft 11 Livestream Weekend schedule at: live.hermitcraft.com Me? I've claimed early morning shifts my time (8am US Central this Saturday and 6am US Central this Sunday)! I hope you join us!

"Family Matters" premiered in the fall of 1989. The theme song deemed it a rare condition [that] day and age to read any good news on the newspaper page. The Berlin Wall fell that very November. One hopes the songwriters felt appeased

This new #minecraft #weeBabsAndNameTags update looks promising. youtu.be/FaLDBHodmGs?...

Most kids these days can’t recite their parents’ phone numbers or the Stargate address for Earth.

I'm getting back into my regular weekday schedule by streaming some #minecraft TV studio set construction at twitch.tv/joehills Swing by and say hello!

As the end of the Christmas season nears, it's time to start getting back into our routines. Me? I'm going to be streaming HermitCraft 11 tonight in about 8 hours at 8:30pm US Central time! Join me as I'll be musing about New Years resolutions and delivering surplus blocks at twitch.tv/joehills

For the last five years or so, at least once a week a twitch chatter asks me how I stay motivated to build in Minecraft. I’m beginning to wonder if some of those folks are actually struggling to find joy in anything, but they don’t expect me to respond well to that scope, which I’m unprepared for.

I’m more of a typography and design nerd than a constitutional scholar, but I think Senator Sanders’ arguments here are justified. www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releas...

Wait, so Nashville cancels our tornado siren tests on Saturdays where the weather is already looking bad, but not on days when the US invades a South American country?

If you missed the press conference, Rubio repeatedly said that folks need to take what Trump says seriously because he’s a man of action. Trump described the strike as, “one of the most precise attacks on sovereignty,” so I guess I’ll just hand this over to Oxford Dictionary of English.
