sunny and a high of 73 here in Nashville today! beautiful blue skies, and few lazy clouds here and there, and nice beautiful breeze.

don't hate the weather, hate the fact that you're too stubborn to make the choice to move your *** somewhere warm!

No snow or ice in winter where I live FTW!!!!!!!!

You obviously haven't lived here long.. It does ice and does snow here.. Not as much as other places.. This has been a freak year, usually we are down to 32-38* high and 18-25* lows.

i heard it's usually just about an inch or so of snow if it does, and ice storms here are like once every 10 years?

The crazy thing is that the roads were clear.No ice on them at all but the trees and power lines had about 1.5 inchs of ice on them.

I learned during the last major storm we had so I went out and bought a generator. We were without power for 7 days, a generator only costs about $600 for a good one at local warehouse club.

yeah I was wondering how alot of you guys were handling this crazy weather with the ICE, I know a couple years ago we had some aweful ice here in SC, was without power for almost 4.5 days. I remember driving around at night and dodging tree's and power lines while looking for a gas station that had not run out of kerosene yet or the pumps havent been tapped out, or find a line that wasnt 20cars deep.

It was insane, hope you guys take care and try to stay warm!
