In South Tennessee here. We can have snow on the ground and be in the 60’s the next day. It never lasts long. My County only has one snowplow so it’s up to all of the farmers with front-end loaders on their tractors to clear the road, if needed. It’s up to the farmers with tractors that don’t have front-end loaders to pull the other farmers and tractors out of the ditch.
Actually, they try to discourage us from driving in it at all. If it’s really bad, they forbid us to be on the road, for as much as they can get away with it.
I grew up in S. Florida and have lived the last 50 years of my life in S. TN so I don’t even try.
Oh, and buy up all the bread and milk.
You missed it on that last, it’s the French toast Holy Trinity you need to stock up on - milk, bread and EGGS!
Something about snow creates a huge hunger for French toast.
The threat in Tennessee isnt so much the ice as it is skidding off a cliff. Not much ice or many cliffs in Florida.
“...buy up all the bread and milk...”
That’s for other places besides Tennessee...Here is East Tennessee, we buy up beer and chips...
I’m from Michigan, and worked in Knoxville for a couple of years (loved it). First snow, they called me and told me not to come in—but I was already sitting at my desk!
