Bloody weather
In case you live in East Tennessee and haven’t heard: ZOMG!!!!111ONE WE”RE ALL GONNA DIE BECAUSE A BLIZZARD IS COMING.
Most area schools called a preemptive strike yesterday and announced their closure while it was still 55 degrees outside. Except our kids’ schools, who decided to be the only school system on this side of the state to stay open. But they just called and said they’re closing 2 hours early.
Still, I have yet to see any snow.

Ours is open this morning, too. But they just notified us they are closing at noon.

Before I visited your site this morning, I knew I would see “ZOMG!!11” somewhere in relation to the snow.
I wasn’t let down.

Ha! You’re all gonna get it! Hilarious.

Yup, bin laden and al gore are dumping some global warming on us.

Albino brain chiggers are nothing to laugh at.
Everybody go get milk & bread, ’cause we’ll be snowed in for a couple of months, ya know.

Well, here Memphis we’ve already had rain, freezing rain, sleet, and it’s just converted to snow. Some accumulation is starting on the grass, with a dusting on the roads, but it’s still coming down.
Budd,
No kidding. Snow in Memphis lasts a day, maybe two if it’s bad. If you can’t make it through that without a run on the grocery stores, just how in the hell do you think you’re prepared for the New Madrid going off on absolutely zero notice?

Snowing well in western-middle, but nothing like they blew up on hte news. Its SNOW; who cares, as long as the dreaded ICE stays away, I dont. Driving in snow is not so bad, its that thin coating of ice that gets you everytime. BUY MORE AMMO

It’s getting bad in Nashville now.

Up here in the mountains it makes things a bit more tricky. When you have a 500 foot drop off at the edge of the guardrail, a > 8% grade and hairpin turns, you can get a little nervous with even a little bit of snow on the road.

I get so tired of how much panic the word ‘snow’ causes here inthe South, especially here in Alabama
where it lasts for all of an hour most of he time.

“Except our kids’ schools, who decided to be the only school system on this side of the state to stay open.”
Oh yeah. I attended K-12 in Maryville city schools. We bitched and bitched because we’d go to school when everyone else had snow days. Sounds like nothing’s changed.

It just started snowing here in Kingsport. They were calling for it around noon today but guess it got slowed down.

Well, the ice has arrived here in Loudon Co., and brought all its friends. No traffic on our rural road since around 6 PM, except for caribou and musk ox.
