snow day.....


Not for me, but for the girls. It looks like someone opened up a salt shaker and and barely dusted the roads, so Williamson County and Franklin City schools are closed.

Weather forecasters all over the city of Nashville were predicting 3"-5" of snow Friday night, with additional accumulations on Saturday. We got less than an inch. Wouldn't it be great to have a job where you didn't have to ever be right or even accurate?

Ken Davis spoke at church yesterday. He grew up in northern Minnesota and lived in the Denver area for years. Ken said that he couldn't believe the way we reacted to snow. Ken said that if a snowflake falls in Gallatin, all of middle Tennessee is shut down. I agree.

Growing up in upper-east Tennessee, we got alot of snow. Yes, we missed school when it snowed. In 1971, when I was in first grade, we only went to school about 3 or 4 days in the month of January because of snow. Our county was prettry spread out, and there were alot of hills that buses had to travel, so snow made traveling by bus an impossibility.

Days like these are the only days I wish I was in school again.....
