It’s winter weather time.<\/p>\n
As of 9 AM Sunday, the WeatherBug icon in my system tray reads 17 degrees. It’s possible that the temperature may climb all the way to the mid-twenties this afternoon before the precipitation arrives.<\/p>\n
Light snow is expected to fall starting around 4 PM this afternoon, gradually getting heavier into the night and converting over into bands of snow showers. The snow is expected to continue to fall for 18-24 hours after it first begins, and in fact there is a Winter Storm Warning all the way through 6 AM Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Temperatures are unlikely to get out of the teens Monday afternoon, and Memphis probably won’t get above freezing until Thursday – when another winter weather event may occur.<\/p>\n
The Hospitality Hub at 590 Washington, which normally opens to all as a warming center when it’s below 32 outside, is in such high demand that they’re only accepting women, children, and families. Single men are being sent to a shelter at 915 Chelsea. If you encounter a person needing to get to one of the warming centers, you can call MATA and they will arrange a pickup.<\/p>\n
I am safely sheltered from the cold. As I mentioned previously, a generous friend has me in a motel at Union and 240 until Wednesday. Then another generous friend is putting me up in a hotel in the Downtown core until next Monday.<\/p>\n
I have pocket money to be able to eat. Right now I’m a short walk from a McDonald’s, Burger King, and Arby’s, as well as an Exxon Food Mart and Walgreens. After I change hotels Wednesday I’ll have access to numerous food resources, most notably DGX.<\/p>\n
Jacob Gilyard, Luke Kennard, David Roddy, Vince Williams Jr., and Xavier Tillman Sr. started for the Memphis Grizzlies in a 106-94 loss to the New York Knicks yesterday. The standout player was GG Jackson, who came off the bench to contribute 20.<\/p>\n

He’s providing commentary for Big Ten games.<\/p>\n Here’s that Facebook page I told you about yesterday: White People Making White People Food<\/a><\/p>\n Bardog’s new gift cards have QR codes that let you check your balance with your phone. A very nice feature!<\/p>\n Today is Feast of the Ass<\/a>.<\/p>\n All right, I guess that’s enough for now. Maybe back later today with a second post.
