By the skin of our teeth, Jackson's Northside was spared with little ice storm repercussions.
The rain moved out just as temperatures dropped at 1p.m. There was just a small accumulation of ice on tree limbs.
Even so, there were scattered power outages throughout the area caused by ice-laden limbs dropping on above-ground power lines. Neighborhoods with buried utility lines fared much better.
Impassable streets and widespread power outages could have spelled disaster with residents stuck in their heatless homes with no way out and 20 degree temperatures.

With temperatures hovering just below freezing and ice visibly accumulating on branches, the next six hours is critical for the Northside.
To the north, Winona and Grenada are almost totally without power. Whether Jackson escapes that fate remains to be seen
Weather radar indicates hours more of rain and temperatures right at freezing. Just one or two degrees will determine our fate.
