Copperhead Road is a good song. They play it all the time on the rock station here in Nashville.

Hello Tri Cities!
This thread would be easier to find if it was a sticky. Spring is here in Knoxville- the trees are budding out! How about anyone else? Spring arriving in your area?

Pam,
Can you send some that Knoxville weather up to Wisconsin? We're experiencing 50+ mph wind gusts today and wind chills in single digits. How's the weather in the Tri-Cities? Man I checked the weather yesterday online and seen it was 69 in Mountain City, That's what I call nice!
When I was in Kingsport last fall I made it to Bays Mountain. The planetarium was closed at the time for renovations. I just visited the site today and see they just had the grand reopening. Anyone attend the event?

This thread is now good and "Stuck" 
I did notice that the Bradford pears and a few other trees are starting to show a bit of color starting. I am also listing to the news cast that is about to come on and he said the "S" word!!! (snow).
My daffodils and crocuses are up, my phlox has a few flowers bloomed and several buds. Tulips are popping up. Yea! Come on spring! |

Mary Beth, When you start mentioning tulips that really gets me into the spring fever. To me Tulips= Easter = Spring.lol It was brutally cold up here today. It's currently 18.3 right now with a windchill of 8. The sun is setting and it sure looks beautiful, kinda weird for such a cold day.lol
Looks like some rain is heading towards the tri cities? Possibly tonight?

Snow? Wow, I wouldn't mind one more last light dusting of snow, then I'll have it all out of my system and be ready for spring. (Y'all know I moved here just for the snow, right?  )
I have a tulip popping up in my yard too, just sort of randomly in the middle of the yard, all alone, looking lost and out of place, LOL. I did transplant some daffodils that I potted up in Memphis and brought with me. I hope they take, since they were already past their bloom when I dug them up.
Are there any parks or neighborhoods, or anything in this area where there are a lot of cherry trees? Sometimes I like to just go for a drive and look at all the trees blooming, and I especially like cherry blossoms. |

The Tree Streets in JC has lots of trees. Drive up by Bay's mountain and walking around that area usually has lots of blooms. I haven't been to Willow Springs in the spring, but I know all around that Antioch rd area has a lot so I would assume it does as well. |

Anybody ever see any snakes while hiking in NE Tennessee? I was surprised I didn't see any last fall.

Josh,
Today was chilly here and looked like rain all day. Hope your winter weather clears out soon. You feeling any better?
I even gave in tonight and closed all the windows, my feet are like ice cubes!
Dubble- I hope sincerely you do not get your wish of one last dusting of snow!
