The Great 2010 Snowstorm

If you haven’t heard, my area of the country got blasted by the most recent snowstorm.  As one who grew up primarily in the south, I believe in the Tennessee snow removal plan, “Why shovel?  It will melt in a day or two!”  Unfortunately, that will not be the case this time.

Seriously, this was a major storm with severe consequences.  Starting Thursday night, this region lost power and  by Friday, some 150,000 people in our area were without power.  This morning (Sunday – 2/28/2010) we have our power back but there are still some 80,000 people without power.

These photos are from Thursday (2/25/2010) afternoon.  (Ignore the time stamp on the photos; forgot to reset it when we put new batteries in the camera.)

This is our grandson; he has just discovered that snow is wet.

 

These are from Friday morning around 6 am.  The snow has been falling since last Thursday night, after I had plowed the driveway and shoveled the walk.  The third photo in this sequence is the walkway from the street to the porch.  So much for snow removal. 

 

Up the street from where we live – there is a transformer shorting out and the limbs in one of the trees are burning.

The dogwood in the front yard took a beating.

 

Here’s the same dogwood after we got the snow off of it.

I will have my post for this Sunday up sometime this week and should be back to a regular posting by the weekend.  You all have a good week and stay warm and safe.  And if you need to have the snow plowed in your neighborhood, call Tennessee Snow Removal.  Remember our motto, “Why shovel?  It will melt in a day or two!”  And don’t forget to ask about our lay-away plan, though it is only good through June (for some reason, it always melts by then.)
