And Then There Was a Blizzard...


See what little present came to east Tennessee today?

I hopped in my little red truck this morning to go down to Chattanooga for a couple of business meetings. About 30 miles out of town, the rain turned into snow. Lots and LOTS of snow! The wipers got embedded with frozen slush and the windshield looked like it had been smeared with Vaseline. After having a bad accident in my younger days in weather like this, I turned my truck around and headed back home. I got home safely and stayed the rest of the day tucked inside. I may be a chicken, but I am a LIVE chicken!

  5. Mother Nature must be protesting our urgency for spring and saying she's still in control. Snow is not my favorite ~ It makes everything more difficult and dangerous. Be careful and Stay warm.

    I'm glad you are a LIVE chicken. I don't mess around with bad weather and roads. Not worth the risk. Love your new look.

  9. Oh gracious - I would have done the same thing 'cept I probably wouldn't have gotten in the car in the first place. I'm glad you're safe and LIVE!!! ((HUGS))

  10. Looks to me like you are a SMART live chicken. Especially in a truck. No traction in the back end. And I'll bet there's not a lot of snow removal equipment in your neck of the woods, either.
    Good thinking, ma'am.

  14. Glad you decided to stay home, warm and safe! Wish everyone would when roads get so bad. Our kids rarely even get a snow day here. Frustrating when they wait extra long for the bus in the wet, freezing weather.

    Ok... enough ranting. I was just catching up on all your recent posts. Glad the job is going well. Signed up for the Brenda Photo Challenge! Now I'd better get off the computer and take some pictures!

    Hugs!
