Snow Stickin' And Chops Are Lickin'

Woof! Woof! The snow hounds are howling this morning after last evening's surprise accumulations in the mountains northwest of the city. We received several pictures from the folks who saw snow. Thanks this morning for the top picture from Michael Curtis of Spencer, TN. And following with today's theme, a real snow hound named appropriately, "Stormy". He's the best friend of Steve and Carol Trickler from Coalmont, TN who sent the second shot in. I love it!
Last night I ended up with a skim of slush on the windshield atop Signal Mountain. But other locations in the area ended up with 1" to 3" of snow. My snow hound Dudley was disappointed. He loves to play in snowy weather. You should see him chase a snowball or attack a snowman. And I think he may get his chances this Winter. Imagine the possibilites of yesterday's weather-maker stirring things up in 4 weeks or so from today. WOOF! WOOF!
Major accidents due to the rain soaked roads yesterday, and one major interstate tie up this morning. Hopefully those are not repeated tomorrow as we should stay dry in the southeast for the big travel day.
There are a couple of ups and downs in the next week or so. First chilly northwest winds behind yesterday's big rain/snow maker. Then dry and warmer Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day. It looks like temps will dip for shoppers on Friday. Then start to rebound again into the upcoming weekend.
We should stay dry through the weekend, then another southern system soaks the area Tuesday. But scattered showers may start popping up on Monday.
This time around you can keep them hounds on a short leash. No snow with this one.
But every dog has his day, and Dudley may get his next Friday night Dec. 2nd through Saturday Dec. 3rd. And possibly Sunday Dec. 5th into Monday Dec. 6th. That is if the GFS is correct. And if it is, "Smithers, release the hounds!"
