I am so tempted to drive up into TN and photograph some snow if it looks like it will materialize...
I hope it does materialize!! :)
Me too I hope it does snow - My first winter in Cookeville!
Do you think that Sevierville will get any snow. I am from Sparta and going to the mountains tomorrow...?
Mike can you get on nashvillewx? Did the comments get that bad or is it just my computer?

The more eagerly you anticipate it, the more likely you will scare it away! Act nonchalant, people!
Its working for me now Mike. I suppose the server was to busy earlier.

It looks a little better in Kentucky and Tennessee today. Would love to see some white stuff to. Also flooding could be an issue to watch also.
