Ten signs It's Snowing in Nashville

We had the most amazing snow day back a few weeks ago here in Nashville. I know, I know-all of you Yankees don't really understand our excitement when we get an inch of snow. You also don't understand why we close down the schools. It's also baffling to Northerners as to why when the "S" word is merely uttered, it seems all of the bread and milk in all of the grocery stores in town magically disappear. It doesn't matter-it's just a southern thing and I'll just say y'all wouldn't understand. (I realize my grammar in this last sentence was bad, I was simply attempting a little humor-read the sentence again with a southern drawl.) Anyway, here are a few pretty pics taken by my hubby. Thankfully he's decided to make photography his new hobby and I'm loving it! 

 Here's my silly list to read while viewing our snow day pics:

Ten Signs It's Snowing in Nashville

1) You wake up to the "Snowbird" music and everyone sits around the TV in eager anticipation of Metro school closings. The announcement becomes the most important announcement since Twinkies went into oblivion. 

2) The kids start pulling out the sled and snow shovel-and start searching for a carrot and something that resembles coal eyes. While they're searching... the snow melts.

3) You overhear a Yankee talking about how dumb southerners are for closing the schools because of the  threat of snow. 

4) You overhear the same Yankee the next day discussing their vehicle performing several donuts on the slippery ice before going into a ditch. 

5) People are seen outside of their houses taking pictures of their house with snow on it. Your Facebook feed is filled with those pictures. Their pictures are also featured on the local news as a story.

6) Local programming is canceled so TV stations can constantly update you on the latest wrecks, icy overpasses and black ice. Meanwhile, you realize the newscasters are so exhausted from the long hours you are starting to confuse them with the zombies from the "Walking Dead."

7) People who live on steep hills set up a viewing area inside of their homes to watch cars wreck going too fast down the hill. You know, because some people don't understand that Lisa Van Camp said stay off of the roads.

This is the biggest snowman we could make!

8) The kids go outside with ambitions of building an igloo, a giant snowman or possibly an ice slide. They finally realize they will be lucky to make an 8 inch baby snowman.

No, we don't care we are cold-we're making snow angels

9) Although they canceled school, all of the snow and ice is melted by noon. You later spot someone outside jogging in shorts.

10) Your kid suggests you make some "Snow Cream" like their friend from school told them they did with their parents at their much cooler house. They think you are mean for telling them no.  until you point out to them that the snow is merely laying on top of the place where your dog uses the restroom.

Not a care in the world

 We can't wait for it to snow again here in Nashville!
