On tv, I see the Tennessee State police telling us that "central Tennessee" is having the worst problems with restoring electricity to residents. That's @pjn 's home country. I see that she has responded several times recently to posts. I hope that is a good sign of some normal conditions at home.

Here, it's snowing. The forecast is for it to be rained off the landscape by tomorrow at the latest. Then, rain/rain ... a little. Hopefully, there will be snow accumulation at higher elevations. Passes into Montana look to be somewhat messy for awhile. Cascade passes may have enough warmth soon to melt what they will receive.

Our overcast chilly weather has been predominant but the few sunny days has sent temperatures way up on some January days. Looking at daily averages — some of those days were as much as 15⁰f (6⁰C) above normal. Precipitation, which would normally be snow, isn't quite down at 1/2 but it seems like it. Maybe we will catch up a little during this final January week.

I know better than to gloat over others in situations like a lot of you are seeing “down in America”. From time to time i do like to roll out my “sorry you live in such a hostile environment line”.

We were talking about this yesterday, with family/friends thru-out we get plenty of “first hand”.

Up here this sort of thing is the norm and twice a year (spring and fall) i change the tires over to studs on the Wife's car. They make a huge difference. We have a lady friend in New Jersey and some in LA widnt know they made tires with steel studs in them! However, they are not a fix-all because each year we still have a population increase of folks from the south and it’s takes them a bit to “get up to speed” with winter driving.

Be safe down there.

studded tires are not legal in some states:


in MI they are not legal road a-tire.
