Our View Of The Middle Tennessee 2016 Snow Storm

We knew it was coming the weather casters talked about the big snow storm "Jona" but living in Middle Tennessee they don't happen very often ! Yes there is since we have lived here (since 2007)

So I thought you might like to see what a little bit if the snow storm from our view in middle Tennessee ! These two pictures are of the small creek that sometimes floods when it rains, well it had flooded because the night before the snow storm it RAINED and I mean RAINED so yes it was flooded ! But after the snow it made for some very pretty pictures !

This picture is looking down the fence row the other way and as you can see it's flooded that way also ...

My husband (in the picture below) out doing his chores , he hasn't had to shovel this much snow since we lived in Michigan. Actually I think after he finished the back walkway and I went back in the house he stopped shoveling and our son Chace was out front shoveling the walkway..

I guess we will have to wait for warmer weather again to make use of these chairs (my husband made these Adirondack Chairs a few years back about 7 years ago ) in fact the week before we were in the mid 60's and by the end of the week it's suppose to be near that again ! Yep chair time !!

Just a few pictures of the back yard with the snow covered trees and fences just thought it was pretty

We are from Michigan and have been here almost 9 years so my friend from Michigan asked me to do a snow angel ....so of course I did !

a neat little picture shot of the chain link fence

Oh look at my van it hasn't been covered in this much snow in a long time !

Yep and this grill has seen warmer days !!

These next few pictures are driving down the back roads by our house heading to this little dam it's a Beautiful drive in the summer or yes even more Beautiful with a fresh falling snow !

This is the little bridge we have to cross going the back way , this is the bridge that when it rains it floods way over the rails and up the roads virtually impassible. The creek/river is connected to the dam that is a couple of miles down the road .

This is the road on the way to the dam it runs next to the river .

These pictures are from down by the dam and there really is a road that runs across it they raised the road but not enough so the water flows over it all the time . They have had water rescues because people think it's not flowing to bad and try to go across it many cars and trucks have been washed upstream , No lives lost !!
