Today was verrrrry cooooold here in Johnson City, TN..... when we awoke the temperature hoovered around 10 degrees F. The wind chill temperature was zero (0) degrees F. Burrrrrrr!!!
As the day progressed to noon time or so the sun was our the wind was calmed down and the temperature was around 20 degrees F... I went out and took a couple of pictures of our front yard decorations......
and
As you can see, it surly was a very nice sunny day.....
A few minutes later I was eating my lunch and watching Sports Center on ESPN when I happened to look past the TV and out the window and saw that it appeared to be snowing...
it looked quite a bit like a blizzard... which seemed unusual since it was bright and sunny out the other windows...... so I investigated.............
Low and behold I discovered that it was snowing in my neighbors yard.... I walked closer and discovered......that my neighbor was making snow on his front yard....... WoooooooooooHaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Now I have to tell you that is the very first time I have seen anyone blowing snow here in Johnson City, Tennessee.... One time in the last 25 years here in JC I sprinkeled my yard and tried to make a skating rink..... but, honestly, I never I thought I would see snow blowing here in the city!!!
I am as excited as a little boy and I wish I could go lay down in it and make a snow angle!!! I have however, given the state of my back, decided that might not be such a good thing!!!!
So, have yourself a very merry WHITE Christmas, I am!!!! Peace on Earth, John

That snow looks great John. As much as I complain about the cold and snow up here, I can't imagine having Christmas without it. We have plenty of snow here with the temp of -12F this morning, but after a month of it, it's not to bad.
Sorry your back isn't much better, so what is the next plan for it??
Hey Ruth - I remember getting used to the cold when I lived in Detroit. However, I am quite sure I would not get used to it anymore!!!
Tomorrow I go to the MD for a follow-up. We will decide what's next at that time..
Cheers, john
Pretty amazing that someone would make snow like that! What is it? How do they do that?!
I'll be praying for your appointment tomorrow. Hope they can figure out what is best to do...and really hope and pray the Lord just heals it for you!
I wish I would have thought of that!!! Miss you...hope you are doing ok!
Love,
Mark
there is a compressor and it seems to be blowing a mist of water that then freezes.... Actually, I do not know exactly how it works, but that is how it appears to be working...It is going to be warmer today, I hope it lasts until Thursday.....
Thanks Mark - glad to see you back in blogland.... love, dad
