An Ol' Broad's Ramblings

Good Morning World

10 January 2011, 7:23 am. 10 Comments. Filed under Weather.

Now, one of the reasons that the Mr and I picked Tennessee when it came time to remove ourselves from the Tundra, aka Taxconsin, aka Wisconsin, was because of the weather.  It was our understanding it rarely snowed in this part of the state.  Well, if this is what they call rare, then I suppose I can live will it, as long as I don’t have to make my way up to the streets!

Not sure why the pics are so dark, cuz it isn’t exactly dark out there, but oh well.  As best I can tell from the height of the snow on the deck railing out back, there’s about 5 or 6 inches worth of nasty white stuff, although ya can’t tell by these pics.  Without actually going out there with a ruler, it’s hard to tell.  And I ain’t doin’ it!  I do not like snow.  Oh yeah….it’s purdy, and all that, but it’s also cold!  And wet!  Cold….wet + Ol’ Broad = misery!

Looks like a good day to bury my nose in my Kindle, and escape to the theater of the mind!  Almost finished with The Twelfth Iman, and many more to choose from. :D

    I finished shoveling about the time you posted this. We got about 4 inches over Henderson way.
    Sure looks like y’all have a pretty place. Plenty of room to exercise your 2A rights.

    Well thank ya!  We like it.  :D   Shoveling is NOT one of those things either of us is going to do.  It’ll melt soon enough.  LOL  We’re old…don’t have to worry about getting out today.  :)

    Trust me….youth is preferable to getting old and crotchety!  LOL  Pain in places ya didn’t know ya had places.  :P

    I’ll take your word for it until I get there. At least I can be thankful that I’m able to shovel snow, whether or not I like it.
    It’s one thing about Ohio I don’t really miss.

    Don’t tell me ya didn’t have a snow blower up there???  GASP!

    nope, never in my 19 years there. We always got good workouts in the winter. It was really fun the one time I was house-sitting for my uncle. We got 18 inches in 24 hours, and all I had at his house was a garden spade. Never again.

    UGH!  After getting 6 inches almost every day for a month (up there), the Mr decided we NEEDED a snowblower.

    You’re getting no sympathy from me :D  That looks absolutely gorgeous!
    (Ok, maybe a little sympathy.  I surely would hate to have to try driving around in that.  Like you said, I’d want a Kindle or a stack of books.  Also, a cozy fire, and about two weeks’ worth of groceries in the pantry. )

    LOL  Oh, it’s quite lovely alright.  As long as I can stay planted right here in my recliner with my Kindle and hot chocolate.  :D   Thankfully, this being the South, and all, it’s already started to melt.  Problem is, the temp drops, then we have ice.  sigh…
