Snowing its tail off right now 31 degrees expecting more snow tonight...That is a blizzard in West Tennessee. It’s a wet snow that sticks to the barren trees that creates a bleak but beautiful contrast. They have canceled everything but wrassling’ and bingo. Getting ready to get the jeep out and cut some donuts! I love it!

Here's a picture of my driveway just after I shoveled it out.

hey fungo,
my brother went to first day of tryouts,the 9th grade pitchers and catchers went with varsity,the freshman catchers had to catch varsity the 1st day and he said he was scared at first then realized that they werent any faster that some of the kids on his travel team!
They are 5 catchers trying out for 9th grade and until yesterday only 3 in (our opinion) would make it as catchers but the coach to a liking to this one kid said he was real smooth when he caught the ball.When it came time to throw down he couldnt even get it to second base on a 1hop.My brother either gained some respect from the coaches or lost some when he was catching this senior catcher(whom he knows) who's release point was way off making everything go in the dirt,So boo stood up and told him his realese point was off and how to correct it got back down in his stance.The head baseball coach and the vice principal(who was coach until he went into administration)said"Son you got b%^LS,Thats our ace (varsity) pitcher."Boo said to me"I thought as a catcher I was suppose to take control of the situation and help my pitcher out before the coach has to make a visit".He waits until tryouts to start doing this we've been trying to get him to do this for a few seasons!!I hope he didnt mess things up for himself.

JT - The weather is about the same here in Lexington. A wet snow covering everything although they've lowered the accumulation predictions drastically! Looks pretty!
Fungo - You'd better get in the house, sit by the fire, and take some Ibuprofen!!

You guys are all invited to come on up here to Cleveland. I'll take you on a tour of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The weather is just lovely up here (sarcasim off)
Sunny, high 70's here

Yep, they lowered the total snowfall in your area and raised ours.
We're expecting 6-12". I'm breaking out the sled.
TPM - that's not the way to gain friends from up North!! 
TPM, we had GREAT weather out here today, too! Went to watch Long Beach State vs. Cal Golden Bears. It was donwright hot, with temps in the upper 70's at Evans Diamond. Boy do I feel sorry for those who are having snow right now.
I had a special treat today, I got to meet DB2B, but missed out on meeting URKMB. Shirl is a very nice lady (and her son ain't so bad, either).

06catcherdad - Sorry to miss you today! If you will be there tomorrow or Sunday, PLEASE look me up. As you can imagine, after brief appearance by son today (which I TOTALLY attribute to the anteater avatar 
), I stayed pretty close to home (actually along the first base line). Hope to meet you soon!

6 AM here in VA--finally started snowing around dark-thirty, and it is now starting to stick. Not looking good for JT, Jr's ACT test today.
Looks like rain/sleet in Asheville. I am in Whiteville, about 45 miles from Wilmington, rain here too, but 45. Gotta love those web cams to see home! Glad I brought some rain gear!
Well the weather in florida isn't much better than it is up north..Feels like the North Pole here this morning... Hey lafmom is your son playing high school ball... we have some teams from kentucky on our schedule?
JT, I know everyone is miles apart but ain't it strange how much we have in common? (excluding FL and CA)

As is normal during winter storms, local residents headed in droves to grocery stores to stock up.
It's still snowing here and one of the prettiest snows we've had in a long time. There's several inches on the ground but roads are in fine condition. It's the snow that I've been hoping for actually!! 
Mniterambler - My son is a college freshman who will be going to Panama City. However, his former HS goes to Ft. Walton every year for the Beach Bash. It's one part of HS ball that I will miss terribly. One of my favorite places and a well run tournament - many great memories! The HS is Lafayette out of Lexington, KY.

Unfortunately, the Military Academy that is holding them in our area (45 miles south) is holding them as we speak. Jr. not too thrilled about leaving in a snowstorm--but we're here, the snow isn't sticking where we are right now, although the ground is fully covered at home. BTW, nothing like tapping into the academy's wireless internet so I can amuse myself in the car.
We haven't had 2 inches on the Metropolitan East side of St. Louis this year. My Brother-in-Law says it snowed like crazy in Tennessee. Go figure! 26 days of January around here were above average in temps.
