“1 inch of snow in TN will shut a city and roadways down.”

Do you remember the ice storm in 92’? I think it was 92’. I’ve never seen anything like it even out here in Colorado. I had to cut my way out of the driveway with a chain saw and then drive into Nashville from White Bluff. It was insane.

Yes, we had a nasty one in ‘98 or 99 too. I live outside Carthage, TN. These hills and single lane roads with 1”-3” of Ice make for a BAD, BAD drive.

I remember it. LOL I had to climb out of the windows to get out of my home. I have a double wide and had built a deck half way around it. Doors open out not in. I went of a window. Then I hiked out to my parents to get a Coleman stove and a kero heater and pack it back in up the ridge to keep the house warm. My parents faired better they had two fireplaces and wood burning stoves. Next one I was the proud owner of a 78 Chevy K-5 Blazer. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow :>} A few more years later another one at least just as deep hit around Knoxville. I was ready.
