First a personal note. I put on a guy on blast on Twitter this afternoon. I shouldn’t have. I got frustrated because I thought his criticism was unfair, and for a minute I thought I was in court. Those who disagree with me or don’t like the way we do things nevertheless deserve my respect. Dragging anyone’s tweet out in front of our audience out of anger and revenge in order to shame them to try and win an argument is not cool. What I did was, and is, wrong. Twitter feuds drive a wedge between us, no minds change, we all just end up angry. I apologized to him (to his credit, he was the bigger man and reached out to me first). The truth is my pride in what we built made me a jerk. I should always be kind. I’ve been given grace, and I did not return it. David.

Watching Several Winter Weather Events Over the Next 7 Days
Beware of Freezing Fog/Drizzle This Morning
Bridges, overpasses, and elevated surfaces may be slick.
There is a lot of elevation variation throughout Williamson and Davidson counties, so it’s hard to say if your street specifically will have black ice. The safe thing is to assume that your street has slick spots. Then maybe you will be pleasantly surprised.
Black Ice Concerns Tonight & Overnight, with 3 more Wintry-Precip-Possible Systems on our Horizon
Rain ended after lunch. Instead of dry weather and a stiff wind, we got a steady drizzle for several hours.
Drizzle wet the streets.
Temps are dropping and should reach freezing everywhere in Davidson and Williamson Counties tonight. Black ice will form in spots, regardless of elevation. Many places will drop to 30°, some may get colder.
Some Ice Today, Active Winter Weather Pattern To Continue
The Ice Event Has Arrived…Mostly For Those At Elevation
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from NOW until 6pm for the possibility of freezing rain accumulations.
Impacts so far have been on vegetation/elevated surfaces on the hills and ridges in both counties. The chance of seeing more widespread icing on outdoor objects increases once you go up into Fairview or Joelton.
Let’s Talk About The Possible Ice Event Tonight/Thursday
Overnight, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for both counties for the possibility of freezing rain. This will go into effect at 6pm tonight through 6 pm Thursday.
What is Freezing Rain?
It is different from sleet. Sleet is defined as a partially melted snowflake that will freeze before reaching the surface in the form of an ice pellet.
