Not on my end.
However, the story on the News-Sentinel homepage says the "winter weather advisory" runs 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., I think it was.
Says rain is to quickly turn to snow?
They're predicting 1 - 4 inches now, not the "up to one inch" we heard yesterday?
37 and raining here.

When it snows, it will probably come down fast and hard, in a sure panic inducing kind of way.

I got four cell calls from my son AND his third period classmates ("Hi, Miz Shepherd, This is Brittany. I just wanted to say "hey,"" followed by delirious giggles.), so I just went and picked him up.-mostly to relieve his teacher, who was clearly having some trouble keeping a lid on things.
There were a good fifty parents in the front office and my son said 1/4 of his class had already gone home.
Also, the mister called to report that oodles of his co-workers had ditched, too, whether or not they have kids?
Still just rain here...
State of Schools address
Thanks, John. Front office at Powell had advised me of same.
Just arrived back home about
Just arrived back home about ten minutes ago and there was snow hitting the windshield along with the rain as I climbed the driveway.

Over an inch here in East Knox County and it's covering the roads. It's thundering too. I think we've pissed off mother nature...
