IF we get something else, I’d lean toward another Aussie

Hard to go wrong with that choice.
Yappers have their place but it ain't on my place..

We ended up getting .4" of rain out of the line of storms that came thru and it seems up around Nashville and north they have some wintery weather to deal with....just hope it isn't too bad on anyone.
I was looking around today while I was outside and noticed that the bud covering of the oak bloom has fallen, so guess they will be blooming this next week and turning everything yellow with pollen and kicking up the allergies....I'll have to be sure to close the bedroom window so it won't filter inside.
I did take a count of oak trees around the house that are 12"+ in diameter and there are 52....I think they could use some thinning out...and that doesn't include the seet gum, pine, and cedar. I know I keep talking about grass in the backyard to hold the soil....well, here is what is growing there now....

We have really nice patches of moss out there........it doesn't do much to hold the soil. The only problem with thinning out the oak trees is the fencelines and buildings...I would love to be able to use a bucket truck for about a month....

I was wondering if y'all were in line to get any of the frozen stuff over your way?....hope it stays liquid for ya.

All of that white stuff is above Nashville and moving out

Yep, we are seeing white. It is coming down pretty good, still calling for 2-6". It's right at 34* here, so the real inbetween.... the ground is covered, and it is coming down. The grassy area looks whiter and the roads are now covered. We are supposed to be done by late afternoon. It is definitely running up the I-81 corridor with the higher accumulations. Oh well, it is still WINTER....

We had flurries all day, but no accumulation.

 

[farmerjan]

Wound up with about 4" and the roads are pretty much clear but they are saying some refreezing tonight. Down to 31* already. Most schools closed today and most on 2 hr delay tomorrow which will allow for any slick spots to be sanded. Maybe upper 50's by end of the week? This will be mostly gone by tomorrow eve if the sun comes out.

 

[CntryBoy777]

If ya have to deal with the white stuff, then it is the best way for it to be here today and gone tomorrow....tho the mess still lingers to deal with....we have 5days of dry ahead, so maybe we can dry out some before the wknd....

Been great weather here for the last week or so.
Unfortunately, I've spent most of it at one Dr's office or another.
Looks like my next one is going to be an oncologist..got some abnormal/odd shaped cells in my blood and urine.
