Snow in the south!

Does your house seriously not have an access to the crawl space?

None where the plumbing is, duck walk high the other side. Real real old cabin, been added on to and retrofitted over the generations. I've cut out the floor in two places so far, next time I am going to replumb it inside along the wall, just bypass all the old stuff.

Stay safe folks. Nasty lookin' conditions for you southerners.

Snow can be dealt with. Ice with power outages is a whole different ball game. All the deciduous trees and vines still holding their leaves down there will provide lots of surface area for the ice to freeze on. That means lots of limbs and trees on power lines. Good luck. Hope you have a generator, a wood stove and lots of shine.

Here in the eastern part of TN, we never have anything exciting happen. No hurricanes, few tornadoes, hardly any snow, and it's been years since we've had any serious ice storms. I think the last time we had an event was the blg spring blizzard in the early 90's. All we're gonna get this time is maybe three inches of wet snow.

Sounds pretty damn nice in Tenn. Except for that god awful heat the rest of the time.

And the chiggers, they bite.

We had a tornado hit our neighborhood in the beginning of 2012, Hurricane Isaac in August of 2012, and three winter storms within the last four weeks of which two produced ice, sleet, and snow (outside of Baton Rouge)...I don't want any of them, ha!

I'll have to correct myself here. Just went outside and measured six inches and it's still snowing. Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa! And no ice, just snow.

Lucked out, 3-4 inches of wet slushy stuff but no hard freeze. Tonight it is supposed to freeze though, so ice tomorrow.

One can only hope for the best. This stuff is just about over with for the season. Sounds like some in your area got hit bad.

Considering we hardly if ever see each other on the site, this is what I imagine spider to father for his sons. I can see him in their lovely ears.

See what you been missing all these years!

Oh, it's for sure pretty sometimes. The best is a real late snow like in march, the grass has greened up, those baby mountains in the background will be offset by the white and green and blue.

Ice and real cold though, ferget it, had my fill years ago, and one night a frostbite experience. painful. Lost my ability to tolerate cold all that well.
