We made it yall! The great thaw and melt has arrived! Days will be warm enough to start melting things while nights will still dip below freezing. Rain coming tomorrow will help wash the ice away as well.

Wind gusts could cause additional tree branches to fall today and cause additional power outages. Be careful being near trees today. Roads are super slick as we are in a deep freeze. Monday can’t come soon enough with tens rising above freezing. Rain comes Tuesday to help.

We have hit the freezing mark!!!!!!!

Help get your electric back on faster! If you have damage to your weatherhead, riser, or meter box (black parts in this photo), you need an electrician to fix it before your electric will work. If the pole, wire, or meter (blue parts), thats the electric company, contact them.

Thanks to Patreon subscribers, I’ve been able to beef up my coverage here over the last year to bring you live weather data, ability to share to social media fast, and just this week the ability to access better model data and radar data. www.patreon.com/dicksonsever...

Thanks to our Patreon supporters, we have an official weather station currently monitoring the temperature, precipitation, wind, and other weather data. Will the temp hit the zero mark? We shall see! You can watch it live: www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pw...

Welp, since I just experienced one, let’s discuss frost quakes. They sound like loud “booms” but it’s water rapidly freezing and expanding causing pressure underground.

If you’re having issues getting to the Dickson Electric outage map, try this link: 38.254.61.161

I’m not sure how much more accurate NWSNashville could have gotten with their forecast. Here are actual ice report accumulations and their last forecasted amount expectations.

We know that a majority of you are still without power. I can promise you the electric company knows you don’t have power. We don’t know, and neither do they, when your power will return. If you have an emergency, call 911. If you have an urgent need, contact EMA or Sherrifs.

Finally was able to get an outage map to load for Dickson Electric. This is 12:20am Monday.

The next weather focus now is the gusty winds expected overnight and tomorrow and the flash freeze temps tonight. It’s gonna be a cold week. The only good news I have is that the sun will come out tomorrow… literally. Cloud cover should be dissipating by day break.

This has been a catastrophic event. Please know that all of the first responders are working as fast as they can to do all they can to restore power, clear roads, handle emergencies. Give them the time, space, and respect they deserve in this cold to do the hard work.

While the temperature is still a very cold 19 degrees, I’ve noticed our temp has ticked up a bit on the official @HickmanSevereWx weather station. This is expected to continue to rise through the night to close to freezing with more freezing rain expected to move in overnight.

Just wanted to clarify the difference between freezing rain and rain: Freezing rain: rain that falls and freezes on surface. Air temp below 32 degrees. Rain: rain that falls and stays liquid on the surface. Air temp above 32 degrees.

Starting to get some sleet where I am in Bon Aqua. Here’s a screenshot of current temps from the @HickmanSevereWx official weather station. Sleet shows that we have a slim pocket of warm air above. We expect that pocket to increase to transition sleet to freezing rain.

Snow has arrived but is expected to transition into that ugly sleet/freezing rain/rain mix after lunch today.

Alrighty y'all. I haven't been able to post much due to appointments and my own storm prep but wanted to give you all a late rundown of what we are seeing. Our snow probabilities of seeing large snow amounts have decreased, while our ice probabilities have increased.

Our ice threat has been increasing over the last 48 hours. NWS has us somewhat in/close to the area to see the greatest ice potential.

Models have been trending further northward, increasing our chances for sleet and freezing rain accumulations and reducing our snow depth probabilities. You should start prepping for the likelihood of ice and power outages.

New: Winter Storm Watch starting Friday 6pm and ending Sunday 6pm.

Ask me anything about this weekend’s predicted snowstorm. I’m currently digesting both breakfast and the latest snow info and will be making a video and/or blog covering all the details. I’ll also be answering some of the questions as well. Reply here with your questions!

Let’s add to the mix: Chance to see the Aurora Borealis tonight with your phones! Hopefully the clouds will skedaddle for us.

Models are still all over the place, but trying to be more in agreement. New graphic with chances of 3 inches or more this weekend puts us around 40-50%. This is definitely subject to change up or down so don’t take this as definitive.

Ah, yes, the s word is being mentioned I see. We all know how this works in the south. We don’t know much until we are almost at the event. Confidence has increased a touch that we could see the white stuff this weekend. But it’s too far out to know for sure.

I think the weather is getting just a bit ahead of itself as winter doesn’t start until December 21st.

The rain/sleet/snow line is upon us which could lead to some travel issues over the next several hours.

New: Winter Weather Advisory for Dickson County from 9pm tonight December 1 to 8am December 2. A wintery mix of precipitation is expected and could accumulate overnight. Slick roads are likely possible.

Friendly reminder: Winter weather in Tennessee is hard to predict and forecast, especially more than a week out. Don’t believe all the stuff on social media unless it has come from one of your trusted news sources.

Getting to see this for the third time in the last two years has just been amazing. Barely caught the peak before it faded and now changing to some greens.

Yall head outside and look north northeast for the northern lights, visible to the naked eye! This is my view from Bon Aqua with some light pollution.

Sharing again on social media since I saw some prominent posts claiming otherwise. NWSNashville has not confirmed a tornado in Dickson from Friday’s storms. There was an area of damaging straight line winds (that can sometimes cause very similar damage) that moved through.

Getting ahead of the social media engine: NWSNashville has not confirmed a tornado in Dickson County from today. They will determine if the damage warrants a storm survey and only after that will they determine if one happened and what strength.

Some rotation trying to happen with this storm near Montgomery Bell State Park.

New: Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 4:30pm for Dickson County.

New: Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 3:45pm for Western Dickson County. 60mph winds and 1 inch hail possible with this storm.

New: Tornado Watch until 10pm

*face palm* Slight risk is a 2 on a scale of 0-5, not a 3. I'm a bit rusty as it's been a minute (in a good way).

We have a slight chance (3 on a scale of 0-5) of severe weather for Friday evening as a cold front will push through the area. All modes of severe weather are possible, with the main threats being damaging straight line winds, hail, and a few tornadoes possible.

Sharing at the request of Hickman County EMA for residents of Bucksnort/McEwen. Controlled detonations are expected throughout the day today. Black smoke can be expected.
