Hey CookevilleWeatherGuy, any idea why the NWS didn't issue any type of advisory for our snow? Even after it started they didn't respond. Kind of odd, isn't it?
It IS quite beautiful, especially from the 70-degree side of the windows.
From all the tracks in my yard I'd say the rabbits, raccoons and some sort of canid or foxy predator have been around already...
