No school on Tuesday in Rutherford County! While the main roads are clear, the side roads are definitely still hazardous for buses. Good call, Rutherford County…
Overall the main roads are definitely passable. The secondary roads are passable as well, but with night falling (and temperatures too as a result) I’d STAY HOME tonight. The roads started making the crunchy noise you get on ice as we made curves where the sun had already set. Be careful out there. And no school tomorrow for Rutherford county (woohoo!). The pictures… Driving up Jones Mill Road. Turning right onto Murfreesboro Road from Fergus Road. Post office parking lot is going to be slippery tomorrow!

Crews are starting out at noon on Sunday and working on the most dangerous roads,…

I had to get out in this mess because a certain young adult in my household just HAD to come home from college today. She caught a ride with a friend and we met them in town to keep her friend from driving out on these slippery country roads. Since I was passenger, I brought my camera and clicked away. Here’s what I have…. Now I’m fairly certain there are people whose pictures are MUCH BETTER than mine. Send them!
New Year, fresh start! After talking with our writers, we are trimming our numbers somewhat but growing in other ways. I want to express my appreciation to Michael, Fortune Cookies, GingerSnaps, Chef Eleni, and Biane for their contributions these last few years and say I’m delighted they’ll continue to stop by now and again with comments and conversation!
