tthurman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The forcast had called for up to 8" of snow, a lot for East Tennessee, but instead ice. looks like better than 2 inches driveway and subdivision roads.This Dogwood outside the window of my computer room looks amazing, but I'm sure it's putting a hell of a strain on it.

Draco1962 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Dogwoods tend to be a little brittle so I hope it thaws soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah, up here a little more north we got hit with the snow. We didn't get the 8 inches you were forecasted, but we did get a forecast of 2-4 and probably got close to 3 easy. I haven't watched any weather reports yet today to see our totals, but we definitely got more than than they anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Lost power about 10 minutes after my post, which stayed out for eight hours, and brought new meaning to cold! Still no cable/internet so it paid off that I set my home theater up for OTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Lol! One of those rare occasions where it's not so bad in Wisconsin. I better mark it on my calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullPointer Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ditto in Montana with unseasonably warm weather. I think the winter blast in the East has been diverting weather patterns away from some of the western states. I'll enjoy it while we got it!

RIP-Felix Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Been in a drought out here. As long as the mountains get the snow thou as that is where we get our water.The cascades have something like 15% average snowpack. The Sierras? IDK, but this year’s been dry out west. So yeah, the droughts coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 A light dusting of snow forecast for last night, so no road prep. Was welcomed to about 4 fresh inches this morning! This was the good stuff too, packs real nice into a super slick surface,,,,,Man I haven't seen snow here like this since I was a kidWish I still had my old trusty Flexible Flyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Lol! My kids have one of these, but there's a sledding park near our house (no joke, it's called the gully!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Another 6 inches of the good packing kind came down last night. I packed up some baseball hard snowballs before I came into work this morning when Vick asked if it was the wet kind. And no I didn't throw it at her but remember to have good form if you choose to do so.... I was working on my Star Wars panel at board meeting last night when it started, and almost didn't make it home. It just started pouring down, and it was a tough trip home even in 4X4. It's been quite a different couple weeks for this part of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 We got a light dusting as they say. Just enough to be a PITA to drive home in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
