No, it's not snow that's falling, it's SLUSH! and we're supposed to get 8-10 inches of the crap followed by an arctic blast of single digit temps for several days. ...Thanks for letting me whine.

Tornado warnings were out tonight. 70 mph winds here, but no twisties. Somewhere around Nashville, they had recorded 95 mph gusts. Wonder what that would look like with a bit of snow dropped in it?
