Yeah, it’s pretty crazy. We still have more snow in the forecast and temps staying well below freezing.
There is going to be a lot of flooding this year when spring finally shows up.

The drift across the driveway is 3’ deep just to give an idea of how big the drift is off to the side.
Most roads are still closed this morning. The national guard was sent out to help stranded drivers.... my brother is still at a shelter waiting for the roads to open up so he can get home.
Ugh
The snow is very pretty though. I've not seen that much in my life, its eerily beautiful though. If that makes sense...
Yes, it always looks pretty until you try to get around in it.Jebus, that's a lot of snow!!! I hope your goldies and koi are alright in their pond.

The snow is beautiful.. in the same way fire is beautiful. It can hold your attention and keep you in awe as it destroys everything around you.Jebus, that's a lot of snow!!! I hope your goldies and koi are alright in their pond.

In all seriousness, I am really afraid that the pond might be a complete loss
It’s been a struggle this year to fight the ice and now all this snow has completely buried it. I’m fearing the worst at this point.

Just found this on my phone. Hopefully it gives you a laugh. Imagine an Italian accent while reading it.
Hello; Just saw this. Do not look if you are squeamish. It is a hard thing to see.
I ride a bicycle and had two dogs come after me just weeks ago. I had to stop and put my bike between myself and the dogs. I was able to get away as these two were not as determined as the dog in the video. They have come out on me three times so far.
I called the county sheriff's office and a deputy did come. Do not know whose dogs they are. He told me I can shoot the dogs. I told him that I do not want to do that and that's why I called him. I have not had decent weather to ride the last couple of weeks so do not know if the dogs are still running lose.
That is hard to watch, I didn’t watch the whole thing.
I’m seeing a good reason now to keep rope on hand. Since the dog was so focused on him the others could easily have tied the dogs feet and took control of the situation.
We have a pitt, and they do not feel pain. Beating the dog will not stop it.
Thats tough to watch but at least people had the in the area were brave enough to help. My god the dog was so intense.
Do you know provoked the attack ? Shame had the dog been on a leash this wouldnt have happened. Looked like it took a hammer to finally get him off
Hello; The postman eventually got away from the dog and into the car taking the video. I am sure he is badly hurt. The dog flopped over for a short time but got up and was going after the woman. Last of the visuals was the woman going for her front door. I do not know if she made it.
Too many folks around here (Northest TN ) let their dogs run loose. I carry all the time when I ride or walk and much of the time in general. I had my weapon out when confronted by the two dogs the first time. I knew to stop riding as it was a surprise and I knew I could not out run them. I stopped and put the bicycle between me and them. That stopped the chase but every time I started to get back on the bike they would close in. I was able to eventually charge at them yelling and they backed off enough that I got away.
I was ready the next ride and had my speed up going out from my home so got by. But coming back on the other side of the highway was up a slight grade and my 71 year old legs do not have much speed uphill. The dogs came right out on the highway. Cars were swerving and some even stopped. I hoped a car would end the standoff but no such luck.
I have ridden a couple of times since the deputy came by and have not seen the dogs. I hope he found the owner(s) as that is much preferred to my shooting a dog. Anyway I now carry some additional non lethal protection. I do not want to be mauled so will protect myself but I also do not want to be vilified for hurting a dog. I am willing to bet there will be some who will object to the dog in the linked video being put down.
