Final Winter Thoughts

I hate to harp on Nashville over and over but I have a few final thoughts.

  • The term “black ice” is used too often here. I don’t have a good definition, yet, but I do know I hear it too much.
  • The main roads have been awesome all week.
  • The town is dead which makes for a great commute and an empty workplace. People have stayed home because they “can’t make it out of their subdivision or neighborhood”. It’s just ice! Unless you live in a valley and can’t make it up either side of the hill then you’re lame and should make up a proper excuse to burn PTO.
  • The local news reported police officers being called out to ponds to kick kids off. They interviewed one stupid kid than claimed he tested the ice by hitting it with a hammer. He also said he had been on it all week and that it was acting the same as ice in Canada where he visited.

You’re embarrassing me Nashville. Get it together!

This Just In

A snowflake drifted through the jet stream from Iowa and attempted to land near Smyrna.  Avoid the area!

TDOT has responded with 6 snow plows that were able to surround the flake. They hit it with flame throwers and did melt it before it struck the ground. They are now working with a Shop Vac to remove moisture before it freezes. 33,000 metric tons of salt have also been applied in the general area as a precaution.

In other news, a freak salt storm has been reported in the parking areas and sidewalks around Dell in Nashville. Walking and driving is hazardous due to the accumulation of salt which has made walkways slippery due to its round granular shape.

best conversation ever: “tomorrow is basically a snow day in nashville” “how much snow have you gotten?” “none” “… oh.

Beth did have to work today which is no surprise because there is no snow on the ground in town. We’re supposed to get an inch by noon but even that makes me roll my eyes. I’ve seen photos of the grocery store shelves picked over. 700ish miles of roads had been salted before last night.

I miss the sane people that live in Illinois.
