From today’s NOAA weather hazard advisory for Knoxville (less than 1 inch of ice/snow predicted):
ANY TRAVEL IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. IF YOU LEAVE THE SAFETY OF BEING INDOORS, YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR LIFE AT RISK.
Oh my! I’m risking my life if I walk around the block?
Well, when the ice hit Memphis right before Christmas, I did feel I was putting my life at greater risk by walking around the block. Unfortunately, the dog couldn’t use the apartment as her bathroom….
The only ice seen here was a little hanging from tree branches. So my life was probably less at risk than normal because there was less traffic on the roads.
