   Uh oh. The weather guy just used the word "bad" maybe half a dozen times. He was walking around outside. "Bad news, y'all...it's not sleet anymore... it's straight up freezing rain... It's bad... It's heavy... Look at that, it's straight up freezing rain... It's gonna accumulate fast... This is bad..." etc.

   I had been thinking maybe we lucked out because there's only been a little snow so far and occasionally I've heard the tapping of sleet against the window. But the weather guy seems alarmed by the shift to freezing rain.

     @tc_morekindness From what I've heard, it seems that freezing rain is what takes down trees and power lines.

     So glad you still have power, and I'm crossing my fingers that continues.

     @tc_morekindness Yeah, I also heard Nashville got hit hard.

     So far all my Mastodon friends in NC are fine, which is a relief.

     @jeridansky Thank you. I think we've dodged a bullet. There's ice on the trees, but I don't think there's going to be any more. I just saw something that made it sound like Nashville was hit really hard.
