Weird to be having severe weather here in Tennessee in December. Monday we had 6 tornadoes touch down in middle Tennessee. They are saying worse for tonight! Stay safe fellas and non fellas.....
Be safe bud! Calling for bad storms tonight here in Northern Arkansas. Going from super warm to cold is not good.
And bring on the snow!!!!

Just snow across our Rocky Mountains, but cold tonight. 7F for tonight’s low and sitting at 50% humidity, it’s bone chilling.
Stay safe.

Thanks bud. Last year on Christmas morning it was 3° here lol. It's currently about 70. We are way above average. I doubt we've had 4 days in the 30s which is crazy. Spring is normally tornado season here. I do enjoy the snow though. We usually get a few decent ones
 
You guys stay safe and keep an eye on the skys. TNJake, sadly there have been three fatal car accidents so far today I have heard about. Its just time to admit Mother Nature is a b*tch.

Well I doubt a foot of snow will kill me......bring on the snow

Strange weather, everywhere.
I hate the snow because I have to work in it sometimes.
But I would sooner the snow than Tornado's . Most times after a storm we still have our homes with snow.

Here the last couple days and tomorrow:
Wednesday high winds and 2deg C,
Thursday -10deg. C with 12" of snow,
Friday -1deg.C part sun and clouds
Saturday tomorrow 10deg.C with heavy rain and winds, bring on the flooded basements

But still better than your guys Tornado's , stay safe

Weather is weird always has been it constantly changes. Pretty much however bad you think it is, it’s been worse within the last couple hundred years. The bitch is the cycle.

My problem is I have 40# cured pork belly and 30# ham that needs to warm smoke tomorrow. Going to be a challenge getting all the meat up to temp, but we will get it done.

Thanks David. Cold weather y'all are having. I lived in Alaska for 6yrs and me and Emily go back to visit every year or so, so I know what you mean....miserable lol. Cool thing about snow in the south.....everything shuts down like it's the end of the world lol

I agree it's all in cycles. Might seem weird to us because we haven't seen that particular cycle in our lifetime. I don't buy in to the global warming crap. Good luck on your pork. Personally I love smoking in the snow. It's beautiful

Totally agree.
The hump for me is single digits and 60-70# meat in a wood box. Cold smoke fine, but I want IT OF 145*. That’s a 130* temp swing in a wooden box. I prefer the upper 20’s low 30’s, but the meat is ready when it’s ready. I have the horsepower to do it, I just have to watch it close.

I would love to see Alaska in the summertime, lol

My son lives in Vancouver BC, and when it snows out there the city just shuts down also , they just don't know what to do with it or how to drive in it. He said last year on his way home from work on the bus . They had about an inch of snow and the bus just stopped for an hour the driver could not drive in it. lol
They are getting a little more snow falls every year lately.

I took Emily once in the winter.....now we only go in the summer lol. Doesn't even take an inch to shut us down in Tennessee. We just don't have the resources to make it safe. I live high up in the hills on the Tennessee ridge. A few years back we got 10in and we're stranded at home for 9 days before a plow made it out here. I almost killed my kids!
