The guys discuss Columbus' hopes of building out a regional crime center, even though Starkville has already made strides in that direction. They also tackle two bills in Jackson that could pave the way to MSMS opening its doors to high school sophomores.

From there, 4-County Electric’s Brian Clark and Jon Turner take us inside the week that snapped limbs, downed lines, and tested every mile of their nine-county footprint. They talk mutual aid, why a bucket at 40 feet is the coldest place in Mississippi, how restoration triage really works, and what you can do at home to cut peak demand and protect your neighbors from rolling blackouts. We also explore why winter is the true bill shock for a strip-heat South, and how free audits, blower doors, thermal imaging, and on-bill financing can make a real dent in your usage.

Finally, meteorologist superstar Matt Laubhan joins to break down the razor’s edge of this week's ice storm. He talks about how a single degree and a passing thunderstorm largely spared the Golden Triangle and gives us an update on the status of north Mississippi. He shares why his new 24/7 Mississippi Live Weather network went all-in early, how a distributed home-studio setup kept coverage online.
