Winter weather wrap-up; school closings for January 29

As of tonight, there are no Memphis metro school closings to report for Thursday, January 29. I expect that everything locally will be open on Thursday as streets are in good shape tonight. A complete list of closings can be found on WMC's website via the link to the right.

Also, below are some storm reports from across the region as compiled by the Memphis NWS office and MemphisWeather.net. The metro region really dodged the bullet on this storm, considering the video and pictures I have seen from places to our north - from eastern OK through southern MO and northern AR, and into KY, southern IL, and southern IN. Ice buildups in those areas are just tremendous and devastating. Having been through the 1994 ice storm here, I can empathize with their situation.
