Who’s ready for the SEC tourney quarterfinals?! 🏀 @WKRN

I mean… look at this cute hand painted mural! This warm weather would be perfect for some comfort food and some *wink wink* soft-served ice cream too right? The owners just announced “The Creamerie” is also a new edition to this local favorite!🍦🧀 @WKRN

THIS WEEKEND: Who’s excited for the return of a local favorite in East Nashville? The Grilled Cheeserie is opening at Hunters Station this Saturday! They started as a food truck serving this area. Now the owners say they are happy to be returning home to this community. @WKRN

HAPPENING NOW: Austin Dill’s parents are hosting a blood drive at TriStar Skyline in his memory. Austin was 19 years old when he died from an accidental gunshot wound. Blood transfusions allowed his parents time to tell him goodbye. You can come donate until 2pm today. @WKRN

A lot of people are out at Percy Warner Park. But I talked to runners who said they couldn’t make it a quarter mile without running into huge fallen trees. They turned around to avoid any dangerous conditions. Still plenty of space *not near the trees* to enjoy the day! @WKRN

Storm Recovery: It’s a beautiful, sunny day for a hike ☀️ but some hikers are having to re-route their usual walk or run in Warner Parks because of the ice storm damage. You can see trees are still down at the entrance at the Belle Meade Trailhead in Percy Warner Park. @WKRN

@WKRN Neat to see how fast this NDOT crew cleared the roadway! With the help of heavy machinery, chainsaws, and some manpower, it took about 45 minutes for the tree to be cleared here. NDOT has responded to 3,600+ reports of trees/vegetation in the road since the storm began @WKRN

NDOT crews were readily waiting to clear the roadway once NES finished. They told us, since the tree was on the power line, NES first had to shut off the electricity so their crews could remove it safely. Look how HUGE this tree is! @WKRN

Yesterday I watched NES restore power to this home in South Nashville. The line had snapped after a massive tree fell. It took NES about an hour to fix once they got here. @WKRN

ICE STORM RECOVERY: Today we spotted a couple of massive trees down in South Nashville. A power line is also snapped in the street here on Neese Drive. As of right now, NES reports 51,855 costumers are without power this morning. @WKRN

NOW-3PM: Brown’s Diner in the Hillsboro area is having a parking lot cookout, giving away free food. The owner says they are giving the gift of warmth and good food to those who have been without power since the ice storm. Any donations will go to their staff @WKRN

HAPPENING NOW: A leak at an apartment complex in Bellevue is causing the garage ceiling to collapse. We’ve heard loud booms as the ceiling comes down. The water is pouring out and running down the hill. It’s turning the road into a solid sheet of ice. @WKRN

HAPPENING NOW: Water is leaking at the Bellevue West Apartments ... our @maggieweavertv is on-scene and says parts of the garage are collapsing @WKRN

⚠️BE AWARE⚠️ of falling ice as the melt starts! We are seeing it fall from trees, power lines and buildings. An icicle can really HURT! @WKRN

11AM UPDATE (1/28): Crews are working to clear fallen trees from this neighborhood in Brentwood. They told me the debris must be cleared first so that NES can work on the power lines to restore power for people here. @WKRN

One Brentwood resident told me he hasn’t been able to leave his home with no power because they have 3 dogs. He says his house thermostat says it’s 34 degrees inside. But they are keeping their fireplace lit to try to stay warm, and are using a gas stove + matches to cook. @WKRN

More video in Brentwood. We talked with a resident here who says he’s been without power since Sunday morning.

WEDNESDAY WEATHER UPDATE: We headed over to the Foxboro Drive neighborhood in Brentwood after reports of downed trees and no power. This is what my drive through here looked like. Still very icy in some spots. @WKRN
