It was blizzarding today for us here in Maryville. And classes weren't cancelled, so I had to make my way to school. Thank God for Audi.

Quite a few trees down here in Maryville. Power stayed on, but many friends did not. Going to the church tonight to cook for those in the cold.
Friday looks to be round 2 |

My hour commute was 2 1/2 hours this morning . I-65 north shut down @ OHB . Somebody successfully parked their Chevy Silverado on top of the guardrail Somebody did that here too in Knoxville! Astounded at how much ice is in the back yard. It's hard enough and thick enough to skate on in places. Another round of bitter cold tonight, but I got some beer to keep me warm. I predict a teenage baby boom in November. |

Yesterday I drove my 4door f150 into the woods and it didn't make ruts. We could hardly see where the tires had been.

I'm in Clarksville. My neighborhood is pretty flat. No problems getting in and out. Then the assholes from the city plowed the road and plowed all the shit into my driveway. Almost couldn't get in last night.

They'd plow the interstate right up against the middle barrier, so all the snow that was on the East facing late went over to the West facing lane. Then they'd turn around and do it again. Job security I guess.

I woke up to a busted gas meter. I called the gas company, they said to call 911. The volunteer guys showed up and said, 4 more in our neighborhood called after us. The cold is causing leaks in the gas meters. 5 meters in one small area.

Finally got the car out of the driveway.
Had to use a rock bar to chip away the ice that had the car trapped. Drove the quarter mile to the mailbox and got yesterday's mail. After I take a shower, I'll probably make a supply run to Kroger. |

It was -20 in Memphis, Indiana this morning, 15 miles north of Louisville. By the time I got to Murfreesboro and unloaded the steel coil, it was almost 40 degrees warmer. I'm done early for the week and hauling ass for home, stopping only for gas... And maybe some .44 magnum ammo for my Desert Eagle.

Woke up morning of Jan. 21, 1985 in tiny uninsulated trailer just north of Knoxville in Union County, -24 with 6 or 8 inches or so of crusty snow.
Has always put TN weather since in context for me.

It's raining/sleeting/raining here in Bellevue. It was snowing earlier, so this means another night stranded in the mountaintop hideaway known as Chateau Ironhand. Good thing Mrs. IHJ stocked up on Orville Ridenbocker popcorn.

The sleet. snow, and freezing rain was more fun. At least it was easier to stay dry. Ice dams are causing problems with what used to be a few spots that would drip, in the garage roof.

Went outside this morning, and when I came back in the wife asked how much snow fell last night. I told her about 7-8 inches. Her automatic response was "so, in female measurements that's about 2-3in".

i want this shit to melt so I can get to the range and shoot.
rain isn't the issue - its shady backroads that have seen little to no travel, called the range this morning - went something like this: "You guys open today? - yessir, but bring ice skates "go on" - owl hollow is a big sheet of ice "I'll come tomorrow"

Multiply that by 5-6 and that's a good bet what it looks like now. I'm dying to shoot my Desert Eagle and being cooped up on top of a hill in Bellevue isn't helping. |

My daughter rarely even shakes her head at me, if I step out the door and fire a few rounds (unsuppressed) at squirrels, then step back inside. Well, sometimes she'll ask if I hit anything, then shake her head. (Squirrels are hard to hit with a 9mm pistol, when they're running.) |
