The Mid-South is now under a Winter Storm Watch for Friday, with a weather event of “significant” impact expected. My favorite weather source, MemphisWeather.net, now has a blog post about what to expect Friday, with rain early in the morning transitioning to sleet and then snow. The area around the metro is expected to get up to 1/4″ ice accumulation (which by itself is enough to shut the interstate system down) followed by 2 to 6 inches of snow. There will be a Google Hangout hosted by MWN about the approaching storm tonight at 9 and you can join it here.
The temperature is not supposed to recover above freezing until the afternoon of April 12, so you better run to Kroger and stock up on bread and milk.
Don’t forget that Bardog has $2 Fireball when it’s snowing.
If you do manage to get out Friday, you can pick up a limited edition Memphis Grizzlies growler at the Madison Growler inside the Cash Saver (Madison at Avalon) beginning at 4 PM.

Here’s the job listing for the director of the Memphis Animal Shelter. The position is open after Mayor Strickland failed to reappoint former Mayor Wharton’s unqualified and incompetent crony.
High Cotton Brewery tweeted that they will now be serving their beer in 16-ounce and 7-ounce glasses, as well as the four-glass sampler board.

Time to hit the Silly Goose for some PBR. Back tomorrow.
