Happy Hour: We Have Another Situation (Maybe!)
- The weatherpeople are calling for another possible Ice/Snow Situation early next week, which means we have six days to come up with another good hashtag. Get to work! [Nashville WX]
- But considering that the kiddos are already out of snow days, they could be looking at Saturday school or the much-dreaded “extended school year,” which means they might be paying for all this snow well into May. [WTVF]
- We also mentioned this morning that the city is pretty low on salt from the last go-round, so they’re trying to find out how to buy some more before, um, this weekend. All in all, they estimate that the snowstorm cost us $350,000. [WKRN]
- Governor Phil is catching some heavy criticism for all the TennCare cuts that he proposed in his speech yesterday. [WPLN]
- What, seriously? Free circulator buses downtown? Count us in! [WSMV]
- A handful of bills during this legislative session are keeping the “wine in grocery stores” dream alive for us. [WSMV]

Bright & (Not So) Early: Happy Groundhog Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Looking out the window, we’d say that Punxsutawney Phil is probably right this time: Six more weeks of winter it is. As sometimes happens here at Nashvillest, we’re off to a late start and must give you your abbreviated Bright & Early:
- Governor Phil delivered his fairly-depressing State of the State address last night which included nearly 1,400 layoffs (but a 3% bonus for everyone who still has a job!), increased driver’s license fees, and digging into state reserves. [WKRN]
- If we get any more winter storms around here, we might be up the creek since #TheSituation2010 has put such a big dent in Nashville’s salt supply. [Tennessean]
- A study by women’s advocacy group CABLE found that there are no public companies based in Tennessee that have female CEOs. [WPLN]
- Nashville’s unemployment rate increased by 0.4% between November and December. [City Paper]
- There was a massive Twinkie heist in Kingsport on Friday night. [WZTV]
