We just lost it but the rest of the street still has it according to Entergy website. It’ll all be down soon giving the encroaching red.
I was warned when I moved there that Entergy wanted to do a lot of ROW maintenance that kept being blocked by aesthetic concerns. A whole home backup has been on my agenda but it’s been a long list.
Weather related question, maybe HBF or other meteorologically minded individuals can’t help. To what extent does living close to the reservoir assist with keeping weather away? If at all? Watch the temps move through central MS and S, W, & N of me is sub-30s while we’re sitting at 35….per the cell phone data anyway.
Horshack where…if it’s in the thread I aploligize my add kicked in looking for it
My timeline is dominated by ice in Oxford.
Will the Oxford ice storm of 26 be the most beautiful ice storm in history? Yes just ask them.***

It’s a miracle no one got seriously hurt using food trays from the cafeteria to sled down the big hill across from Suttle back in the day.
The Grove was glistening! It was spectacular!
Warm wave hitting O.Branch and now at 18 degrees. About 3-5" of snow and a hard crust on top of it. Must be some sleet. Power still on and never went out which is just short of a miracle. Guess I have to give Entergy props for preparing assets ahead of time to deal with any outages.
HA! Watched a dude in January of '96 go down that hill with a blue plastic fiberglass kiddie pool from Walmart. He got airborne and did some awesome spinning tricks . . . until he plowed head first into some 80's vintage Buick's front grille. But he got up and kept going.
Sub zero pool pump and filter draining since power has no ETA - done
boarded up window for a relative who had a pine limb invade - done
good news is other than downed limbs, bridges and maybe puddles water, roads around here are going to be fine

I wouldn't think the reservoir is a big enough body of water to have much influence on temps. Maybe slightly at best. The air masses responsible for large scale temp changes are massive. However, I have seen lake effect snow come off the rez before so it is large enough to do that on a limited scale.
Reed Timmer say... "this is the worst ice storm in my 27 years of chasing".
This is coming from a guy who has lived in Oklahoma for a majority of his life and chased hundreds of ice storms. He would know. Go ahead and watch his video from yesterday and see for yourself. This is historic.

I don't know about most beautiful, but this will go down as the worst ice storm in the history if the state. It covered a larger area than the Delta ice storm everyone talks about. 1-2" of ice accumulation is a very serious event. Northwest and North Central MS will look like a hurricane came through after this melts.
Water retains heat longer than air. I learned duck hunting in my youth that’s it’s much warmer standing waist deep in water than it is standing on the bank when the temperatures are in the single digits.
And they invented ice storms. And ice. And drinking icy drinks outside in a grove of trees. Hell, they invented trees also. They've never lost an ice storm.
May set a record for coldest chicken tenders ever
So hell dId indeed freeze over?
Electricity went out at 5:55 AM, trees started really snapping not long after that.
Has been a longish day, had to cleanup the driveway, to get out.
NO fun for me, just hooked router up to power inverter, and checking in.
