snowmageddon 2011
eight and a half inches on the ground!
Well, it’s official … it actually snowed! Snow Day fulfilled. And basically the entire eastern end of the state of Tennessee (as well as north Georgia and Alabama) is paralyzed by the storm.
And, for the record, we are loving every minute!
The roads are mostly impassable at this point. We just don’t have enough snow removal and salt spreading equipment to adequately clear the roads in a timely manner. And with temperatures expected to remain at freezing or below, it could be a few days before conditions improve.
about as good as it gets; TDOT came by and plowed, but only a sparse handful of people were out driving
where are the porch steps?
So we spent the day playing, and skiing and sledding and generally messing around in the snow. Biking proved to be a little too impossible without studded tires and too much ice on the roads. So we hauled out our “vintage” cross-country skis, and Mark managed to use the tractor make a pretty decent ski track out in the field and back to the woods.

I apologize for the absence of bicycles today … but hopefully tomorrow will bring a little change to that. I suspect we are going to have a very interesting week ahead. 🙂
