About 12 years ago in middle TN we got snow, then sleet, then more snow and then some ice.

Quite crunchy. It was 9 degrees. I went to the hot tub.

Two days ago, they were calling for ten inches of snow (East Tennessee)...now it has been ‘downgraded’ to an inch or so. Looks like rain, from the looks of things...too warm.

That sounds like a good idea to me!

Funny story:

Back before my daughter was born, we were doing a major remodel of our house, mostly to prepare for having her around. This was in January, and a considerable cold snap had arrived, with lows ~ 10 deg. F: We had pretty much gutted over half the interior, including the old bathroom and the 3 inside walls around it. The old propane heat was taken out too, and all we had was radiant (mostly "quartz") space heaters. The bathtub though was still the old "claw" type tub with legs, so, basically it was sitting in the back end of the house in a large open area, with temporary plumbing hooked up. Everything looked, uh, "rough". So... getting cleaned up without being badly chilled involved getting in the tub with 4 space heaters arrayed around it, firing at it on high, the elements glowing brightly. I got in the tub and joked to my wife that I looked like a victim of cannibals cooking me for soup!

THAT sounds like a good way to pass the inclement weather time.

Nothing better than a sit in the hot tub with snow falling and a white russian in hand. :)
