Supposed to warm up starting Saturday.

When I lived in Memphis in 2001, there was a snow, 6 inches total, over 2-3 days, that lasted close to a week. Coming from Erie Pa. where I was born, and lived for close to 50 years, it was nothing to me. After 3 days most everything had melted, but people wouldn't set foot out of their homes, nor drive, even though the streets were 99.99% bare.

It was unbelievable how everything shut down, as long as there was a patch of snow that someone could see from their window, no one would move, wouldn't go to work, etc...........
