We’re an example of “who doesn’t drive their car for weeks at a time”. My husband dug out our 2nd car just this weekend. It’s the one I usually drive, but I haven’t been driving because I’m off from work and on crutches due to a ruptured ACL. ---

I didn’t drive for a week because schools were closed. ---

It’s definitely warming up here from the extreme cold, but guess what the new warm front is bringing us? Yep, more snow! ---

The first four inches of this blizzard is off the driveway. Fell twice in the street as it started because the @#$%^& landscamers didn’t do anything, like put down salt; ripped my jacket, too. Always good on a road that slopes both down & across. 🤬 🤬 🤬 Kidlet is in dumping zone! forecast of 8½" between midnight & sunrise. 😲 ---

> [@PastTense](#): > > In Tennessee the big problem is the Nashville area which is served by a municipal electric power service. We’re lucky – the town has its own power service, and they’re much better than ~~Neversource~~ Eversource is at post-storm cleanup and restoring power. ---
