Snowed under

Q couple of inches of light power and 15 just north of Nashville.
South of 40 has been getting all ice.
 
I am in the same boat jwin. We lost power in spring hill about 6 this morning. Rocking the fireplace and have hurricane lamps for later if needed
 
No power. Trees down everywhere. 170,000 without power in Nashville. Lows of 1-8F for the next week.
I was reading your power infrastructure is especially difficult because it runs thru the forestry in the area. Friday night I was driving home and passed a troupe of line workers' trucks heading west from where I live in the northeast. Hopefully they were heading to your neck of the woods.
 
224k of the 470k Nashville Electric Service customers are now without power
Wood stove is keeping the house around 57, but not sure we will fare so well when it's single digits.
That's about as warm as the stove and furnace kept it last year when we spent a week in the single digits
About to empty the fridge and freezers. Fridge stuff into the crawlspace which is sitting at 34.
We'll be alright. My nice but naive neighbors that moved "to the country" for the first time in their lives don't sound well prepared. I gave them a bit of firewood but it won't last long but not sure I have much more to give. I won't let them freeze to death but I'm not sure I could let their kids in my house for a few days without MDKing them either...
