It should be an interesting day in the south! It looks like an ice storm for the metro Atlanta area. If I had to bet on it, I'd guess that we will lose power. I think I'm just going to let things be what they will be. If we DON'T lose power, I want the pumps to continue the water circulation. If we DO lose power, I hope things don't freeze over to the point that the ice would impede everything re-starting. If we are without power for a while, at least the temps won't stay below freezing for very long or with any consistency. Fingers crossed that we don't get what they are predicting. It is a tricky system!
Good morning to those of us in the south watching the weather!

Good luck to you! Our area of western NC is in the 2 - 4" of snow forecast area. Not too much, but since we haven't had any measurable snowfalls over the past two winters, I'm actually looking forward to seeing a bit of the white fluffy stuff pile up! It's been cold & Monday we woke up to a lovely 
rolleyes freezing rain & coating of ice everywhere. Fortunately if we do lose power, our generator keeps the pond pumps running. Here's what we looked like yesterday:

NW Louisiana, here. All week they were predicting ice and snow by Thursday (yesterday). We lucked out and the worst stuff stayed north of us. Temps were as low as the 20’s, but no falling moisture, so roads have been good. We stocked up on the essentials, though, just in case.
Stay safe and warm everyone!

We got ab out another 3 inches last night.....so 13 inches in a few days . Temps are above freezing now, so it's melting, but we're getting a cold snap mid week....single digit temps over night.

We ended up with about 4 - 5" of snow coming down Friday afternoon into night. Here's what the yard/pond looked like first thing this morning:
