@MikeZaccardi @yardeni @realtors @ClementsMoney 1996 was the best entry point in my generation for California especially.

... and 2012 was a generational chance to buy a home... US Housing Affordability Index hit an all-time high then.. (moderate prices, low mortgage rates, recovering wages) @yardeni @realtors actually.. another @clementsmoney piece from me about that... humbledollar.com/2021/05/throug…

@MikeZaccardi Options writers don’t want to be exposed over the weekend.

@MikeZaccardi @KoyfinCharts If Iran wasn’t happening the big story would be the apparent unwinding of the AI trade. But the media is understandably distracted.

Tech & Comm Services by far the weakest sectors this week so far @koyfincharts

@katymorganwx @FOXNashville Saint Louis could see a 60F drop from today's high until tomorrow's low.

A wild temperature swing! Cooler air is headed our way. Highs will drop 25 degrees tomorrow, only in the low to mid 60s. @FOXNashville

@DecodingFoxNews @atrupar Kentucky got more snow and less ice. Nashville metro is far larger in population than the affected Kentucky areas. I think NES did a decent job considering how many trees were down and how cold it was.

@atrupar Kentucky is handling this a lot better. I’ve been to both states. I grew up across the river in Missouri. They have extremely similar terrains and a lot of sparsely populated areas. Kentucky figured it out. Tennessee is a mess.

@DanielleBreezy A wise rodent however.

Remember, Phil is a rodent not a meteorologist! 😂😂

@NashSevereWx Thanks to Punxsutawney Phil.

Roughly 24 hours below freezing remain. This time tomorrow lot of sun and temps in the 40's .

@oldscarf1stweek 1951 was the mother of ice storms in BNA. The old timers are still talking about it.

Has Tennessee gone a long stretch without a major, widespread outage? This level of disruption feels typical for certain disasters. In New England, tropical systems can knock power out for a week+. The Gulf states deal with the same after hurricanes. Texas sees it during severe cold, and parts of the Midwest after major wind events. Are there places where even rural areas, not just big cities, usually get electricity restored faster than **a week** after a regional disaster?

@NbergWX There’s probably a heat island effect that wasn’t there way back then making it difficult to get that cold urban areas.

FLORIDA COLD: With all this talk of record extreme cold this coming weekend, wanted to give you a glance back at the coldest temp ever observed in Florida. On February 13, 1899. Only time any temperature below 0 was recorded in the state and that was Tallahassee. Orlando got to 20 degrees. We could come close early next week. All time Orlando record is 18°F from December 29, 1894.

@SumnerSevereWx My Ring app blew up about an hour ago. NES apparently took down some customers to make repairs on East Main.

Now more than 13K.. Looks like most of that is in H'ville from NES...

@SumnerSevereWx Will Phil set us free from winter?

@JohnFreim Do you mean the day forecast? or if Spring is coming early/winter is sticking around?

Just checking in on everyone 🤍 Today’s highs may sneak just above freezing for some spots, but don’t let that fool you, gusty winds up to 20 mph will keep it feeling bitter cold. Please continue to bundle up and take it slow. The encouraging news: power outages are down to about 15,000, and crews are still out there working hard in tough conditions. Progress is happening, even if it feels slow. If you’re warm today, please check on someone who might not be. Bring pets inside, keep layers on, and make sure friends, family, and neighbors are okay, especially the elderly. I’m here with you through all of this, sharing resources, warming center info, and updates as we get them. We’re a strong community, and we will get through this together. 💙 Take care of yourselves and each other.

@DanielleBreezy @WKRN If the snow and ice have got you down, and you're thinking about heading to Miami-town; patience grasshopper 'cause soon we'll see if the greatest groundhog will set us free.

Truth, except now less than a week! 🤣🤣🤣 @WKRN

@katymorganwx BNA just had it's first arrival AA from Tampa so it looks like the end is in sight.

This is quite the sight. #Nashville #icestorm

@SumnerSevereWx Liquid rain in Durham Farms at 5:00 with puddles mixed with ice on the street.

So some of you are saying that you are seeing puddles and rain. Get this, a friend from the NWS said that the rain rates are so impressive that it is still freezing rain that some of the droplets are struggling to freeze!! That’s crazy!

@I65WxSils This storm has underperformed in Hendersonville TN. Looks like the energy and moisture is heading east of us? Hope I didn’t jinx myself.

Roughly where the snow/sleet line is over NW Tenn and South-Central KY

@katymorganwx I know it’s not your call but thanks to Fox 17 for showing the Illinois Purdue game. Seems like this storm is underperforming in Sumner County anyway so that’s good. We will see.

A long duration of freezing rain is likely this evening into early Sunday morning. The saving grace (for some) will be a time Sunday morning/early afternoon where temperatures climb just above freezing. Nashville *may* see that briefly, but biggest concern for ice remains W I-65

@SumnerSevereWx No precip in Durham Farms at 5:10

Hey Sumner County Fam! Just checking in on everyone. How are y’all holding up? Hanging in there, okay? If you’re seeing freezing rain or sleet, I’d really appreciate reports. What’s falling right now? Is it sticking to trees, roads, cars, or power lines? Your reports help paint the real-time picture and help everyone stay safer. Drop your location + Photo + what you’re seeing in the comments. We get through these things together. Stay safe, stay warm, and keep your head on a swivel.

@I65WxSils Big score.
