Snow

[Erik88]

I measured 9-10" in my yard earlier. I'll remember this snow storm for a long time. I'm used to always being disappointed and for once they underestimated how much snow we got. The forecast the rest of the week looks rough. It will be a test for TVA to see if their grid improvements prevent more rolling blackouts.

That is an added bonus to the fact I drive junk. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it if no one was injured.

I feel ya there, though i'm not worried about it. she just dented a steel bumper. Besides, i got her insurance etc.

We ended up with 5" here in Lascassas at dark. Not snowing now but frigid. It is 14 degrees here at our home at 10 to 8 PM.

yep, wish I had better tires on the old truck. I hate exposing my Buick to the ones who can't drive in this stuff.

Last I looked we might have 3.

Probably gonna fire up the gas logs in the basement when we hit single digits. Turn it up past a couple clicks and you'll start to sweat. Helps keep the heat pump from running all the time and helps warm up the pipes since there is only one output down there. Only good thing previous owner did.

According to the late news, Bartlett officially got 6". Current temp is 8 degrees. Normal temp for today should be 51. 

Not to get above freezing for the next couple of days. Just to add insult to injury, Thursday's forecast is calling for a wintery mix. Possible freezing rain and ice. Ain't that just dandy.

We got 3-5" overall here, it rained a little bit late yesterday, and then turned to snow again after we went to bed.  It's 21* now, and I can walk on water (frozen, but hey) but it gives way under my fat butt.  It took the dog forever to find the right snowflake to drop her load on this morning, and was having some trouble in getting traction on the frozen surface.  LOL  

I don't need to get out, and won't for a couple days, going to fix a pot roast with taters, carrots and onion in the crock pot soon.

My dog normally stays outdoors, but I put a crate in the heated garage for her the last couple of nights. I let her out this morning, she went to the door, took a look, and went back to her crate. I KNOW she's gonna have to go pretty soon, but I'll wait until daylight to give her another chance.

Too many all electric homes.

We've got a couple inches of snow with a nice crust of ice covering everything.

Our dog gets the zoomies when it snows.  He runs and runs and runs.... He'll pause long enough to eat a few mouthfuls of snow and then run some more. 

I saw a couple brave souls drive by this morning, just creeping along. I suspect the tow truck and body shop owners will have a nice summer vacation this year.

We have about 6 inches in the Rockvale area. I don’t think it’s going anywhere….

[Darrell]

6" in Hebbertsburg this morning, and very cold. The snow is frozen. I won't be going anywhere for the next couple of days.

My dog wants nothing to do with it. And neither do I, for that matter.

Going to be doing Chili today. Will be staying in also. My shih-tzu gal took 3 steps on the walkway this morning, did her Tee Tee, and turned and backpaddled to the door. The snow is deeper than her legs are long. She don't like it nor the cold. You guys be safe today. I was 9 here in Lascassas TN this morning. Great day for chili.

This is just as the snow stopped yesterday.

 

[Sleep profit]

Making chili today with some jalapeños I like it hot on cold days  But I am over winter already dreaming of Key West and Margaritaville 

[gregintenn]

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm ready to mow the yard.

[sbeck37923]

Measured 8 1/4” in yard this morning in west Knoxville.  Took an hour to clear truck off this morning.  Not going anywhere as roads are not plowed.

Greg, your neighbors would probably talk about you if you fired that lawn mower up this morning.

I-26 from Johnson City to Kingsport has been shut down for a while today.

Best neighbor ever, he just plowed my driveway!

Yeah Friday morning may be a lot worse than what we have now.

I have wondered if it would blow snow as well as it blows leaves.
