Snow Report





Well they did it. I heard them say it this morning. They have predicted snow for Nashville. It is going to be chaos here. They just do not know how to handle Snow.
Now this provides amusement for us transplanted from the North ex-Yankees who know what a real snow storm is but-
They get the littlest dusting and the whole town closes down.
They get an inch (sometimes less) and schools close.
They will put enough sand on the highways to cover Daytona Beach.
People will storm Kroger’s and Publix’s to buy milk, bread and eggs. By 8:00pm tonight there won’t a gallon, a slice, or a yolk left to be had.
They will shift to the bad weather driving plan. The one that says “the roads are bad- we better hurry up to get home.” They will then try to run into each other on the highways and when they do have an accident they will blame the other guy because “He doesn’t know how to drive in the snow.”
If there is a real accumulation of the white stuff, they don’t worry about plowing after all (and I quote) God put it there-he will take it away.
Now following recent history-this prediction wont happen or at worst it will be gone and melted by ten am.
In fact we used to have a joke about one of the local weather men. A gentleman by the name of Bill Hall.
The joke went :
Do you know the difference between Bill Hall and Lorena Bobbitt?
When Lorena Bobbitt says two inches are going to hit the ground-she means it!



My advice--stay in where it is warm. See Ya

I would love to see some snow. I miss winter.

Here in Reno the chaos is a bit better organized, but the driving seems to be the same all over. By the middle of November, the sprinkler and drip systems have been shut off and winterized, as are the motor homes and other vehicles that will usually not be used on a regular basis in the snow.

One simply doesn't shut down the heater and leave one's home. Even water in commodes can and does freeze, cracking the porcelain.

Up here from where you used to be from we are supposed to get some real snow, upwards of ten inches of the white stuff! Daughter is waiting patiently tonight to see if she has a snow day tomorrow!

Love the joke about your weatherman and the work excuse.

Up here in Louisville Ky a few years ago in early Jan. we had 17 in. of snow and 10 below zero. Paralyzed this city for 5-6 days. A week later it was all gone, and the temp was near 70.

I never understood the need for milk, bread and eggs. when we are going to get snow I make sure I have plenty of junk food on hand! reese's cups, popcorn, hot chocolate, chips! who wants french toast?

Denver is like that the first snow of the season every year; everyone forgets what they learned the season before.

We are having a little bit of snow here.Then this will turn all in rain later on in the night.We are used to this.No big deal.
Maybe a white Christmas is in store for us.

I remember the 10 years I lived in Memphis and 'the bad weather driving plan' is so true!!!!
