I travel for my job. Mileage yearly for me is 35k. I can say with certainty that for every passenger vehicle there is 2x maybe more big rigs. I would say a ratio of 2 passenger vehicles to every 8 rigs in a mile. My trucking & hauling shops can not keep up with the demand at this time. My construction is same. Where is money coming from is anybody’s guess. There is over 50% empty retail spaces in America but yet we see building retail spaces all over. Soon this will hit a brick wall I’m afraid.

I expect cold springs anymore. Soccer starts & cold, windy & rainy are normal anymore for spring. I hate winter more each year when we have winter in spring! We were in Cincy for a showcase this weekend. Good grief this morning was cloudy, windy & 37! It’s freaking end of April! We did go to Kings Island yesterday since our game was very early. Was cloudy & cold but we dressed in winter clothes. What a blast the parents & team had. Some of those roller coasters are insane. I rode the best wooden roller coaster ever there. The Beast. 4.10 min long & 65mph around a cork screw. What an adrenaline rush! I did not do the 300ft high one that drops straight down at 92mph. That was a big NO for me. I hate heights! My daughter loved it. Lol.

It is really dry for this time of year I feel. Mowing the yard & dust everywhere. Some of my yard already shows browning from being dry. Not good with summer closing in.

Quiet the cold snap coming this weekend. Of course in Cincy for soccer showcase. Cold & wet.

I believe severe season is coming to a close for this area. Hopefully & thankfully. I love seeing the green but dread the hot & dry to come. Sadly it will be August before we know it & winter knocking on the door. Amazing how the older one gets the faster time does go. May is my favorite month. March is my least favorite.

After what happened in MS I would prefer chilly air than tornadoes. Though unfortunately it seems we are entering a severe timeframe which always seems to go hand & hand with around Easter. TN has been fortunate these last few years. Hopefully our luck has not run out. Friday is yet to be determined exactly but appears most affected is west to middle. Now the 4/4 system could have many more involved. Time to perk up & listen to the experts.

Thank you for the input.

It says potential hazards none?

I’m in not liking the looks of possible severe wx including tornadoes. Let’s just say none of that please!

Yeah rain & some good lighting at times. Other than that just another quick moving storm. I’m not going to complain. Reports out of Armory, MS are horrific. I hate tornadoes. Destroying homes & property & lives is all they are good for. I hope for this area they continue to bust.

My yard is green. Definitely the aerating & over seeding in fall paid off.

I read that the fruit trees are complete loss this year. That’s going to hurt.

Flurries & soccer sounds about right for spring in TN. Wonder how many layers I can wear today. Lol. Well tulips are complete loss after last night. Azaleas I’m afraid to look. Tonight will be worse. Ugly spring incoming.

Truly amazing it’s this cold in March. This is cold that should have been in January. Soccer tomorrow is going to be cold. Have the My Buddy heater ready to go with blankets. Just hope the wind tomorrow is not like today. Sun does help so clouds please stay away tomorrow. Mowed yard today in cold. Then actually mulched the trees. Gotta go slow with this long Covid. Wife helps with yard. Checked azaleas. They look to be ok with no damage yet. The Jap. maple what leaves had come out are toast. Tulips are good so far with no damage. Blooms still closed. Dogwood same no damage I can tell. Buds are still closed & look ok. Now tonight near 20 could do much damage. Hoping not.

All I can say is wow to UT beating Duke. Unbelievable March Madness so far. Hope TIDE are focused.

What an annoying cold weekend! Soccer tomorrow will not be fun. Hopefully the WC is less than today. Winter is just rubbing salt into our winter wounds at this point. A couple more days then 60s-70s arrive. Winter can leave & hopefully the door hits it on the way out.

It appears there is hope next week as it shows temps in the 60-70 range.

Well Dollywood is like maybe next year open up in April. Spring break should always be in April. I hate March. Always will. Let’s declare March the new January.

Same here. 32 here was the low due to clouds. We won’t be that lucky again.

Cold rain storm?

Yes unfortunately looks like planting season will be delayed this spring. Which is no surprise with these last few springs around here. My redbuds have been blooming well over a week now. The tulip trees also. They were almost done anyway. Yep my Jap maple new leaves will be toast. Landscaping already looked rough from the Dec. cold spell. Heck why not finish it all off lol. Ugly spring incoming.

Can I say I am pulling for UT to beat Duke! Shhhh don’t tell my wife! To cold to sleep outside in dog house!

I was shocked that Houston lost & still got the other #1 seed. My wife a Duke fan is feeling it. I told her that their bracket is brutal. I actually feel pretty good about my TIDE & their bracket. I could see them & Duke in final 8. Ugh. I hate Duke. Yes my wife knows. UCLA is scary. I thought they deserved the other #1. Realistically any team could win it this year. Don’t hate me too much. Roll Tide!

Tomorrow here in the midstate will be much better. Near 50. 8-10 degrees higher than today with less wind. These cold temps are like rubbing salt in an open wound at this point after the winter we have had. If climatology is right each cold snap should be less harsh here on out. Maybe these cold spells mean we skip the locusts, dogwood & etc winters. Winter can take a long vacation at this point. March madness is here & my team is at the top. Which usually is a curse. March is my least favorite month except March Madness makes it less disliked.

The 2 for 1 special needs to be restricted from the 18z!
