Yeah, we got dumped on. 😒 Went out there to feed my feral cats and put a tape in it, we got 6"~8" depending on where you stick the tape...they're forecasting another 1"~3" today... Was gonna hit the gun show in Gray TN today, about 20mi down the road from me, yeah, that ain't happening! 😂
 
Last time we got hammered, I barely made it out to feed the animals...gun show was a total bust!
 
I enjoy a good snow, but despise freezing rain and ice. Power was out for a couple of days, and it looks like war zone in middle TN. I’m getting cabin fever and every time I take the dog out for a walk it is a challenge to avoid busting my butt or worst. I’m done with winter now.
 
Just got back from driving into Bristol, they got a lot less than we got out here...we live right at the base of the mountain...you know, the places where the county says "oh, yeah, run some scrapers and throw a little salt out that way too" as a secondhand thought.. 😂

The roads before you get towards town still have a few inches on them, within a 4 mile radius of us there's still about 6"~10"..

I didn't have any trouble, a good 4wd with a smidgen of common sense certainly goes a long way! 😊

Wow, that’s a lot of snow! Stay safe and warm, it looks like the gun show will have to wait
 
This weekend was relatively mild snow wise for us in Morgan County. Which is a welcome surprise after last the weekend of snow, freezing rain and power outage. Stay safe.

We got about 6" in the NE corner of Knox County. Lost power for just over an hour one evening, Knoxville Utilities Board was on the scene here in only 35-45 minutes, those guys are my heroes, thankfully it was a quick fix. I felt a little panicky due to health concerns. We have a small generator (enough for two rooms), but I would have to be out in the extreme cold to get it going...
 
With these temperatures, and as deep as it is, this is going to be here for a few days... 😒

It got down to -2 last night...yeah, that's a bit cold... I have a picture from years ago somewhere here that I took when I got in my truck at about 4AM one morning going to work, it was -17... 😞
