And I'm not sharing. It's every man for himself when it comes to white bread. You people who didn't get to the store in time can just eat your bologna sandwiches on crackers! I'm barricading the door to keep the hordes of breadless people out.

Oh, wait . . . I forgot crackers, and I wanted chili for dinner. Uh, would any of you be willing to share?
You're funny Alleycat. I haven't seen this behavior yet. Oh it gets busy, but everyone seems rather tame to me.

P.S. No crackers for you!

Wait until the TV weather people whips them up into a frenzied mob in search of toilet tissue and cold cuts!

Does the ice & freezing rain happen much there? Do they put anything on the roads to prevent sliding? Just wondering, because I'm thinking about moving there!

They usually brine the roads when there is a threat. At least they did last year. This past snow and ice we just had, I didn't see the trucks out. I thought it was strange they didn't do it.

It doesn't happen too often, but when it does it can be a mess because it's not just ice on the roads, but ice on the power lines and everything else. It seems like we get a major ice storm about once every ten years.

Many of the county highway departments use both salt and a brine solution on the roads, a few don't. The trouble is it can be tricky to judge exactly when to start applying the brine when it's rain turning to freezing rain. They have to wait until it actually turns from rain to ice, or else the stuff will just wash off.

So far, so good out in my area in west Nashville. I think the roads had a chance to dry off, and they're run the brine trucks on the main roads. Traffic is normal in my area.

Nothing but rain here in extreme northeast Tennessee and according to the forecast, the cold air is not forecasted to move this far east. Its supposed to be in the 50s and 60s here all week.

It was 70° at my house today and 67° @ the airport.

Currently at 11:30pm (EST), its raining and 56°, but only about 200 miles to our west, its in the 30s!

You all out west in the ice and snow be careful!
