Well, no. It didn’t. And I’m with Katie Allison Granju when I say that I am not a fan of the wintry mix. Hell, I’m 42-years-old and still make snow angels.
I want snow.
Cuppa Joe makes an excellent point about the snow insanity from yesterday:
I’m willing to bet cash money there was a super-secret provision in the surrender agreement signed at the end of the Civil War.
What was it?
Any time a snowflake falls to the ground in any state south of the Mason-Dixon Line, any business or school or government office can declare a legal holiday.
And Winston, who is probably one of the most clever men around, writes this:
Sunrise this morning finds Nashville and most of the Middle Tennessee area beginning the slow and dangerous process of digging out from the worst blizzard in recent memory. The entire region was buried in as much as 1/4 inch of heavy, wet snow. Some outlying area reported accumulations as much as 1/2 inch. Temperatures are not helping the dangerous conditions as thermometers plunged below freezing, dipping as low as 29 degrees in some parts of the area.
Heh. I love it when men get all snarky and groovy.
Good job, boys.
Snarky? Groovy? Clever? Gawd, how can I ever live up to all of that high praise? Maybe the autographed $20 bill I sent you will be sufficient…
I want snow.
Snow is so last century. As in, pre-global warming.
Ain’t gonna be no mo’ snow ’round here.
So. Beale, I’m afraid you’re right.
Dammit, I miss seasons.
The last really big, I mean big snow, that I remember in Nashville…not 2002 or 1996….1988. January. I don’t remember how many inches it was but it was a lot and I don’t think we’ve had one that big since. We’ve had some piddly snows but nothing like that.
I remember we missed most of January in 1977 from school cause of snow and it was similar in 1978. I never knew what a spring break was until I was in junior high because we never had them before then due to so much missed school for snow.
I remember building snow forts tall enough that we could crouch and hide behind the walls.
I remember walking to school with snow up to my chest. Uphill. Both ways.
