    One guarantee is it will be cold enough in spring for cold rains. Seems winter arrives in late February through April anymore.

    I lost 34#. Un unfortunately I became a type 1 diabetic from my ordeal. Apparently 80% of severe cases like mine this happens. Go figure. Though will say cutting out the breads/carbs/sugars has made a huge difference on my life. I was an avid runner before but can no longer run. So it was a trade off.

    I am very sorry you went through all you did but am thankful you survived & are healing. I know you may have heard this but it sounds like you had Covid pneumonia like me. Reading your post brings back the nightmares of being on ICU. Though now we have that mystery pneumonia in China spreading that is resistant to many antibiotics. My mom had an unknown pneumonia many years ago. They had to remove half her lung to save her. To this day they never could tell what kind of pneumonia it was. A friend on our travel soccer team she was on ECMO also for 3 months. She had Covid pneumonia. It’s truly an amazing machine. Really glad you reached out. May you continue to get well & hopefully heal back to 100%. I have healed from my covid pneumonia but my lungs only function half & will never be more. Prayers & thoughts.

    That was the KY tornadoes right?

    I would not mind a normal temp & dry first weekend of December. My daughter has a showcase soccer tournament in Memphis that weekend. After that let it snow!

    A large fire has broken out in Marion county. A resort has been evacuated along with several homes in the area. Luckily this should be short lived with rain coming in. Expecting about an inch of rain.

    Not liking the drier runs as we get closer. We need some soaking rains. Droughts always seem to make their own wx. Meaning more drought. Even with an 1” of rain in a couple days we are back to where we are now.

    My neighbor is a volunteer for the forestry fire fighting. He has been in Rhea county last 2 days fighting one there. Said lost a few houses. He said that they are on standby with watchers stationed on the plateau Sunday-Tuesday. Said possible mountain gravity waves there. Similar to what happened in Gatlinburg. He said the plateau is the highest concern at the moment. He said it would take a lot of rainfall to help the situation. Hopefully people will not attempt any fires this weekend into next week. Even frying turkeys could be dangerous.

    Well the rain is not going to happen. Sheesh. Low humidity & winds are going to drive any fires that get going. This is turning into worse than when Gatlinburg was hit it seems.

    Finally some good rain here this evening & tonight. I think we could approach an inch when all is said & done. I got my yard mowed & leaves up before it started.

    I received word a 3rd large fire has broke out near AL/TN line.
  15. Matthew70
    Maybe we can allow one more if Kansas wins another big game.

    Sad anyone would read these forums & want to do bad things. Hopefully rain comes soon.

    My nephew says it looks like there’s a big fire on the mountain near South Pittsburgh. Can anyone confirm?
  18. Matthew70
    Rain would be appreciated though it being dry has made blowing leaves easy so far. My new grass is up & doing great with using my own water. Water bill going to be high unfortunately. As for winter. The longer it takes to get cold means the lesser time winter has to stay around. Kinda like the days getting shorter. A couple more months & then the days start getting longer again. Give me about 6 weeks of snow & cold & I will call it a winter. Though unfortunately we don’t even get that anymore. If we get 1-2 weeks it’s a miracle. The fall colors sure are beautiful!

    Most of the rain for mid TN dried up. South of 40 pretty much nada. My new grass is coming up but that is because of me watering. Next 10 days looks like more of the same. Nice temps but DRY! Hoping this does not mean fire season is going to be rough. The leaves are coming down quickly now especially with the wind.
  20. Matthew70
    To me seems also to f conflicting predictions. Especially for middle TN. One say milder with less snow. Other says 125% average snow. Gotta love nature. She’s full of surprises.
  21. Matthew70
    I second this! Better chance with nature predicting winter than throwing darts like we do with the LR models.
  22. Matthew70
    Well one thing is looking likely. Dry conditions will persist. Yes some light rain to settle the dust but that’s about all. The temps will be nearly perfect. My grass seed will love the temps. Just going to have to water myself.
  23. Matthew70
    The drought is definitely getting worse for a lot of the area. With October being a usually exceptionally dry month. Add in the leaves falling & lower humidity spells concern & trouble. I am aerating & seeding my yard this week. The temps will be absolutely perfect. I will water the seed which means I can do it wo Mother Nature washing it away. Still some rain showers would be nice. I am watering the yard to soften it up. We had about .50 this past week. Settled the dust thankfully. Amazing how we went from wet to dry. The temps & wx have been spectacular. Watching my daughter play her soccer games with the moon in the background the past week was beautiful.

    Sadly it’s has turned severely dry here in the midstate. With not much hope in the next 10 days. I gave up on my yard. Not sure how this drought will affect the changing of leaves but I am seeing many trees with their leaves just dropping. No colors at all. Such a great wet summer has crashed into a terribly dry fall.
