Due to continued hazardous weather and travel conditions across Tennessee, including snow and ice, Governor Bill Lee has closed state offices on Wednesday, January 17, 2024.
State services offered online will remain available and state employees will continue to utilize work from home capabilities where possible.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) continues to strongly urge motorists to limit travel. TDOT and local road crews are working around the clock to ensure roads are passable; please don’t crowd the plows and never pass them. We want all motorists and our crews to remain safe.
The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) is monitoring extremely cold temperatures that are not expected to reach above freezing until at least Thursday.
Due to increased demand on the power system, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has asked customers to reduce electric power use as much as possible without sacrificing safety between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. CST on Wednesday, January 17.
Tennesseans are urged to exercise caution and avoid non-essential travel on Wednesday, January 17.
| The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is asking consumers to take special steps to conserve electricity between 6-10 a.m. Wednesday, as the power supplier will be working to meet record power demand amid zero-degree temperatures. TVA asks customers across the Valley to do the following between 6-10 a.m.: Lower your thermostat by two or three degrees, if safe to do so. Postpone using large appliances (washer/dryer, stove/oven, dishwasher, etc.). Postpone use of hot water. Turn off and unplug non-essential lights and appliances. Commercial Business: Turn off any lights and office equipment (or place in sleep mode) when space not in use. Commercial Business: Turn off air-conditioning/heating outside of business hours. TVA has made significant system improvements and expansion since December of 2022, when the agency lacked adequate capacity to meet customer demand and required local power companies to perform rolling blackouts to secure the power grid. It was the first time in the agency’s 90-year history it was unable to meet power demand. Power demand projections for Wednesday morning exceed what the area experienced in December of 2022, but TVA is better positioned to deliver thanks to its improvements. With some extra help from consumers by taking the suggested actions for conservation Wednesday morning, TVA will be that much better positioned to meet what is expected to be a record peak demand. TVA’s all-time peak demand record sits at just less than 33,482 megawatts. Wednesday morning’s peak is expected to reach approximately 36,000 megawatts. |
Roads in Cannon County remain hazardous. The Cannon County Emergency Operations Center is open and being staffed around the clock by Rescue Squad Volunteer First Responders.
Rescue Squad members are responding with Cannon County EMS on every ambulance call. Cannon County EMS has increased staffing levels. Cannon County 911 Emergency Communications District have increased staffing levels. Cannon County Emergency Management Agency continue to monitor weather conditions.
Several stations of the Cannon County Firefighters and First Responders have Volunteer Firefighters standing by at the stations in case of fire calls. As nighttime approaches, and temperatures continued to decrease, we expect roads to ice over completely. Even snow plows are not immune to treacherous roads. Please shelter in place and remain off the roads unless completely necessary.
If you must get out, please use extreme caution on any roads that are not plowed and salted.

| As colder temperatures settle in, Middle Tennessee Electric (MTE) offers some simple energy-efficiency tips to help members manage their energy costs. Be smart with your thermostat. Set your heating system’s thermostat to 68o or a comfortable and safe temperature. You can expect to add around 3% to your electric bill for each degree above 68o. Wear additional layers and bundle up to stay warm. Lower your water heater temperature. Set water heaters to 120oF and reduce hot water use by taking shorter showers. Use cold water for laundry whenever possible. Seal and caulk leaks around windows and doors. You can also use cardboard, plastic or blankets to minimize heat loss. Open window covers on the sunny side of your home for additional warmth and close them overnight to retain that heat. Rotate the direction of your ceiling fans. Blades should rotate clockwise during the winter. This pulls cold air up and helps push warm air back down to you, as warm air naturally rises to the ceiling. The fan should run at the lowest speed. Replace return air filters. Keep your heating and air conditioning equipment clean and well-maintained. A dirty filter will slow airflow and make the system work harder to keep you warm. Turn off the dishwasher’s heat-drying options. Air dry dishes instead of using the dishwasher’s heat-drying options. Delay using large appliances. Delay using washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and other large appliances until the warmest part of the day when overall heating demand is lower. Utilize the myMTE app. The myMTE app has a suite of useful tools, including one showing the hours when a member’s household uses the most energy. Members can compare those hours with the temperature outside to get a better view of how much electricity is used when temperatures are lower. Consider the Levelized plan. This option allows members to pay roughly the same amount on their bill each month, removing any extreme month-to-month fluctuations caused by weather, energy use and other factors. It is calculated by taking an average of energy use for the previous 12 months and will only have moderate variations each month.
