Batten down the hatches…

With only a few words published by the National Weather Service, West Tennessee is working itself into fits of panic. Those words: EXACT SNOW AMOUNTS REMAIN UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME... BUT PLANS SHOULD BE MADE FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF AT LEAST A COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW WITH ROADS BECOMING HAZARDOUS.

Now the south is a funny place when it snows… The usually slow-paced locals become something close to possessed. I’m sure if it hasn’t happened by now, by this time tomorrow there will be a crush of people buying everything from 60-roll packs of toilet paper to diesel generators. It will be the only thing people will talk about this week and when the worst happens and the snow hits, everyone will forget anything they ever learned about driving.

It’s going to be a long week if this forecast holds fast. Batten down the hatches… There’s weather ahead.
