Jan 10-13 Clipper & "Big Dog" leftovers...

[Crockett]

I'm weird I know, but I don't mind cloudy dreary days, especially if there is a threat of snow or a thunderstorm.  I'm not kidding, I believe I could go 3 or 4 months without sunshine if I had constant weather threats.  Now rain day in and day out would get old, but clouds no problem.  I had this conversation with a coworker today and he, like most probably, thought I was crazy.

You're nuts.

In another life I'd go live on top of a high peak like Jack Kerouac did in his book The Dharma Bums and never look back.  I wonder if LeConte lodge is looking for an over winter person for next season....

 

Two things....
1)  I must concur with your co-worker.
2)  My opinion of you just went up a notch....Dharma Bums.  +1

I named my first born son Cassady, do I get a +2?

I sure have seen nothing like this before (in Tennessee)  
First ive never seen the snow stick around this long before
and second like you guys were saying never seen consistent snow for 5+ days
got to go to school tommorow...for the first time this week. I   at the complete "donut" around williamson county with all the closings. 6 comes early, and its 1.

The biggest issue would be lack of internets, but I think we could swing it.  We'd probably go bat sh*t insane, but we could swing it.   

Just like Jack...

Its funny you mention that movie Thundersnow. I have been talking about that one for a couple days at work now with all the snow around

Thats a great movie to watch this winter no matter how many time u have seen it

I enjoy the occasional stretch of stormy weather, but not so much the endless cloudy days with no major storms.  It's a waste of clouds IMO to have them day after day without something coming out of them. 
On the other hand, I'm an outdoor person.  I love working and playing outside (landscaping, plantin' trees around the house, workin' on the homestead, and hiking on the nearby trails), so I do tend to get cabin fever and want better weather to do the things I enjoy.  I guess that's why spring is probably my favorite season (March-June).  During that time you can have a sunny day, and before the day is over, have a severe thunderstorm roll through.

Can you tell where most of the snow fell?
