Happy Hour: We Can’t Find Any News That Isn’t About Snow
- We’ve made plenty of jokes about it already, but by the looks of this photo of the bread shelves this afternoon, y’all really did clean Kroger out of bread. [TwitPic]
- Meanwhile, projected snowfall amounts for the region continue to go down, and down, and down… [NashvilleWX]
- Yet we storm the grocery stores anyway. [WKRN]
- And the silly Alaskans build creepy ice statues of our neighbor Al Gore to illustrate that global warming does not exist because it is cold outside. [Tennessean]
- In seriousness, though, the city has teamed up with Red Cross to set up a warming shelter for the folks who don’t have roofs over their heads tonight or folks whose heat is broken. Check the Tennessean for details, and stay warm! [Tennessean]

You Tell Us: Home Of The Best Hot Chocolate? [Nashvillest Polls]
It’s so cold outside, we’re doing everything we can to stay warm. We’ve asked you about your favorite belly-warming wintery drinks before, but now we’re on a quest to hunt down the best cup of hot chocolate in town (thanks to a query by our friend Winston). Responses have been pouring in on Twitter, with The Cocoa Tree emerging as a clear leader – But don’t let that sway your vote!
So tell us, what’s the best cup o’cocoa in town? (If we left your favorite off the list, a thousand apologies, but that’s why the “Other” option is there.)

Bright & Early: Doing Our Snow Dance Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Weather forecasters are slowly beginning to crush our Snowpocalypse dreams by doing things like downgrading our Winter Storm Watch to a simple advisory and changing our snowfall projections to “around one inch.” Our trusty friends at NashvilleWX still have at least the northern half of Davidson County in the 2-3″ range. But because it doesn’t take much snow to make snowballs, we hear there might be a citywide snowball fight a-brewin’…
- Pipe dreams. As if snowy and icy roads aren’t enough to deal with for a city unaccustomed to frozen stuff, water main breaks are becoming a pretty big problem as pipes freeze and burst all across the midstate. These can turn busy streets into sheets of ice in a matter of minutes (like Gallatin Pike yesterday), so be careful!
- Unemployment demographics. The job market seems to be even tougher for African American men who are unemployed at a rate of 28% in Tennessee, which is about three times higher than the general unemployment rate.
- Bits & pieces. Relax, Jeff Fisher isn’t going anywhere according to our favorite bird-wielding 87-year old … We’re already breaking records with our gas prices this year … Spring Hill water customers will likely be seeing some refunds over the next few weeks because the city accidentally overcharged them … Brentwood residents can now sign up for the Reverse 911 program which allows emergency dispatchers to alert people in the event of an emergency in their area.
