Heads Up: Snow storm headed for TN, KY, NC, SC, VA tonight.!

[ddeclue]

CNN says 200,000 lost power in OK from this storm last night.

1. It is already here in Middle TN.

[ddeclue]

3. Where are you at? I used to live outside Shelbyville TN.

[asjr]

14. Manchester TN

[ddeclue]

17. Very close by! I used to work in Tullahoma and I'd go through Manchester to get to I24 going South.

2. Once it got over the mountains it turned into a stinker

All we got here in the valley was a lot of wind as the snowflakes blew overhead and stuck to the mountains. It was a great disappointment but at least we don't have to shovel it and the skiers are happy.

Just be careful. It really blew up as it got on the wet side of the Rockies.

4. Yea it's here in ok right now

been fine snowing all day and it looks like we've gotten a good inch and a half so far.

5. Oooooh, snow. Better hunker down for the duration. Jesus - the way some people in some areas

react to a prediction of normal winter weather is hilarious.

It's just a little precipitation, people. No need to call out the National Guard.

Grow up.

7. "Normal winter weather" kills. Take it seriously.

Instead of acting like an ignorant 8th grade tough.

10. I grew up in SOUTHERN VIRGINIA. We had plenty of snow and I cannot remember alerts and panic like

this.

That being said, some folks up north also go ape-shit at a prediction of snow. The groceries are stripped bare.

This is not the Ice Age. You will not be stranded for weeks and forced to eat your relatives to survive.

My comment was only partially a geographic slam - more of a criticism of soft, weak Americans everywhere. Another reason why the rest of th world laughs at us.

16. I've lived in Detroit in the winter and Phoenix and Miami in the summer.

and places in between. Southern cities and houses simply aren't equipped to deal with snow storms and ice storms. The power lines fall, there are no snow plows, most places don't have gas heat - when the power fails it becomes a serious problem.

On the other hand, I laugh when I hear about Northerners complaining about a 90 degree heat wave - we Southerners call that "summer".

[ddeclue]

8. In Detroit NO... In NASHVILLE YES.

[Arkana]

19. I live in the middle of New England

and I personally think it's hilarious that the South shuts the hell down when they get like an inch of snow.

[spanone]

6. it's snowing in nashville, has been all morning

[alfredo]

12. Get out the sled and head for Love Circle.

[FLyellowdog]

9. Started here in NC mtns. about 2:30. nt

[Bitwit1234]

11. We had one here in MN last week

But the bad part stayed way way south. I hate to mention it but this year as well as last year we in Northern MN haven't got the blizzards we usually do...I hope we don't get any. But the cold is bad enough been below zero for the last five or six days. And with the wind chill it is 25 or more below at night and sometimes during the day.

13. It's been snowing in my county for a little over an hour now, and over 30 wrecks have already

happened. The cops and scanner are going nuts... the 3 wrecker companies in town can't even keep up. I'm thinking about going out with my 4 wheel drive, or tractor, and a tow strap to pull people out of ditches....


Around here, 1 snowflake falls out of the sky and 9 idiots hit the ditch... :eyes: What really gets me is all the dumbasses with 4 wheel drives who think they can drive at normal speeds and stuff *because* they have a 4WD.... that's not how it works, folks! SLOW DOWN!!!

[Are_grits_groceries]

15. OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

I have to run to the Piggly Wiggly and get bread and milk for some reason. It's a state law I think. Then I have to panic for a while.

Merciful heavens! I have the vapors.......

[pipoman]

20. Don't forget to fill the car up with gas and a couple of backup gas cans...

[Are_grits_groceries]

21. And fill all empty vessels including heads with water! nt
