  • Severe weather

    From Sean Dennis@618:618/1 to All on Tue Jan 20 19:59:50 2026
    Hello All,

    I am expecting some bad winter weather in my area this weekend. From tonight's area forecast discussion from the National Weather Service:

    ===
    - Confidence in a significant winter storm affecting the southern
    Appalachian region Saturday into Sunday is increasing. However,
    it must be stressed that details on where the axis of heaviest
    precipitation and resulting wintry precip totals remain
    unclear. This weekend's system should be monitored closely over
    the next couple of days.

    - Cold air behind this weekend's storm will keep temperatures at/below freezing for at least a day or two. This will prolong the effects of any winter weather, with power outages possible as well.
    ===

    My local power co-op (who is also my ISP) is warning about power outages due to possible heavy icing on power lines.

    If I do go down, I will notify my hubs via email and I'll post on Facebook and X/Twitter (@digimaus and @bbsoutpost).

    I hope the power doesn't go off as I only have electric heat. :(
