What about Grundy County? (Beersheba Springs: schools, living in, commute)

Whether you live in Grundy County or have visited the area I'd like to hear of your experiences. Families and singles weigh in with your thoughts. Good or bad, pros or cons it does not matter. Thanks!

I have been there a few times and love it, I bought 6 acres in Beersheba Springs.
The very small town atmosphere is apealing to me.

Neighboring county to me. Beautiful mountains, isolated. Schools get lots of 'snow days' in the winter, due to icing on the roads in high elevations.

If you like to commute for a job it could be the place for you.

When I bought there I knew there was no jobs nearby, In my field of work I have to commute anyways. Snow and Ice doesnt bother me either I grew up in Massachusetts. I am real tired of living in South Florida. Looking for a friendlier atmosphere.

Snow and ice in the south is different than snow and ice in the north....lol... It's hard to explain, but the people here don't know how to deal with it. We are inexperienced in driving in it, and also the road departments are not organized to handle it. Snow and ice here paralyzes movements. We can be 'snowed-in' with a couple of inches of snow that lingers with low temps. Especially hazardous are the mountainous or shady roads where the sunshine doesn't reach the icy road.
