We just celebrated our 4th month anniversary in
Middle Tennessee and thanks to it being Leap Year it happened on the 29th
of February. This has been an unusually
warm winter here in Tennessee and the last day of February was no exception with
Severe Thunderstorms and Tornados hopping around the area.
The past two days have been warmer than usual for March with
84 degrees today and winds up to 60 miles an hour. Even as I type this entry, there are Tornado
warnings for the counties just south of us. Being a weather watcher, it has
been a wonderful few days for me, even as I sat in my office working, watching
the trees outside my window swaying in the
wind gust was hypnotizing. The best
thing about living here for me is the weather is constantly changing. I was
always bored with the usual boring Sunny hot days in South Florida. The only
season that excited me was Hurricane season, just the possibility of some
interesting storms.
I grew up in this general area as a child and back then
there were very different weather patterns. The seasons were fairly
predictable. Now it appears to be no set
season for such weather. This year we
have gone from 20’s to 50’s at night and 40’s to 70’s during the day in a 24
hour period. To date, we have not had
any major Winter storms, with no ice or snow. Actually, it has been a boring winter but
Springs is holding great promise.
March appears to be
entering with a Roar this year, and frankly I am thrilled to be able to sit
here and watch the storms rolling in over the hills and valleys. I have also found living above a large river
also offers us unique weather conditions, watching the fog rise from the river
and roll over the ridge of the bluff into the back yard, is so relaxing to me.
True it has only been 120 days but Tennessee is still a
great place to live in my hillbilly opinion..
