We have about 58 rain days. Hummidty is a problem for newcomers. So far it's been nice, but wait 5 mins and it will change as the saying goes. Most of the Tornadoes we get seem to hit Tipton Co. Like most southern cities which receive little snowfall Memphis is woefully under prepared to handle it. It has imporved vastly since we moved here 18 years ago.

Memphis is a dirty city, plenty of dumping of items like you described along the road ways. This must be a thing that goes with larger cities. Millington is clean I'll say that. We have pick up of those items if you put them out on trash day. Millington is a Navy base town, still is a small town pop is about 10,000. It is set to grow because the base is getting about 1,000 new personel according to the BRAC findings.

The only sound advice I will give is DO NOT live inside the Memphis city limits, you get socked with Memphis & Shelby Co property taxes and they are WHOPPERS nearly $9 for the 2. 25% per $100 of assessed value if I remember correctly. Memphis schools are the PITS, avoid them. Shelby Co schools are better, but still not the quality of a good private school. Get a CCW permit ASAP if you intend to spend much time in Memphis, carjackings are all to common. Drive with locked doors. Regardless the cost of living is much, much lower here than any where in Kali.

If you choose AR or MS you get stuck with a 30 min drive and a State IT. If you choose one of the neighboring TN counties to Memphis you get the 30 min drive MINUS the State IT, which would mean a 3-6% increase in salary for your family depending on what you currently pay out for a state IT.

The Regional Medical Center (The Med) has a first class trauma center which the MS & AR send their critical patients to.

You will find more BUSH stickers than SKerry stickers in Germantown. GOP campaign HQ was in G'town.
