Snowing in Knoxville





Today we had the most snow we have had since we moved to Knoxville from Texas in May of 2011. The cars are now creeping by the narrow road at the end of our lane, it's about 5 pm. It was a welcomed scene to be able to see it snowing while I was in the kitchen cooking. I would love to walk in the snow tonight, I have always loved to walk in the snow at night, the later the better. Patsy Cline sang a tune about these late night walks and I am in agreement with her. After midnight would be fine with me. If you haven't walked in the snow at night, you might want to try it. Even more fun is sledding at night. We had a steep hill beside our house with the perfect flood light beaming on the hill. We always had a gang out there when we were young. Here I am just sitting here with those good old memories. Oops, lights are blinking ... better publish this and get out the candles.

Don't eat yellow snow. Just sayin'....

Ohhh, what lovely shots you got Cindy. I agree that it's nice to look out from a warm house and watch the snow. We've had constant flurries and they do add up. It is too cold for even a flurry to melt here in Maine. We had a bit of wind and my lights flickered too. I remember playing out at night in the winter. We went ice skating and had to walk about two miles to get there, in the dark. I love looking out into the woods when there is a full moon on the snow but wouldn't go walking because I might run into a critter like deer, bear or coyotes and foxes.
Hope you and Clint have a wonderful cozy evening. :)

Gorgeous! I've been seeing all over FB about people in Tenn. and the Carolinas who are enjoying snow- I'm so glad you all got it. I wish it would extend all the way into deep South Texas...

Cindy I'm getting cold just looking at your photos! It hasn't snowed here yet (only on higher ground) and I am really hoping it doesn't! I love Patsy Cline and Walking after Midnight is one of my favourite songs of hers'. I hope you're keeping warm and cosy Cindy!
