Memphis on the internet.
That Memphis Weather
Memphis holidays were balmy, in the 70s each day. Then, rain and wind blew sideways. Then, the temperature dropped 45 degrees in a day. Then, snow fell Sunday. Unique or not, Memphis weather proved more unpredictable than usual over the last week and it kept the MEMernet buzzing.
Here’s a rundown of 2021’s daily temperatures via a crocheted blanket by Memphis Reddit user u/worldbound0514.
“It starts at the top left (January 1st) and goes diagonally to the bottom right (December 31st). The colors represent a 10 degree range. Dark purple is 10-19 [degrees] F. Navy blue is 20-29 [degrees] F. Sea blue is 30-39 [degrees] F. It goes all the way to 90-99 [degrees] F in burgundy.”
Reddit user u/mcwap gave a well-deserved shout-out to Memphis Light, Gas & Water crews, fixing light poles, downed by Saturdays’ storm, in Sunday’s snow fall.
Something else fell from the sky near u/midtownFPV’s Central Gardens homes on New Year’s Eve, a bullet.
“Found in my driveway this morning,” said the poster. “And my workshop roof has a brand new hole in it too.” A massive amount of (apparently, hopefully) celebratory gunfire was reported on nearly all MEMernet social channels that night.
