  My first started topic.

  Since I am a Winter Weather attic so much. I wanted to see everyones way to early winter discussion.

  Could give me a chance to use my fav.  new smilys to.    .

Sorry about that but this on the wrong topic, needs to be in winter topic, is there a way I can move it to there.

I wouldn't advise staying in the attic during winter weather.  Unless it is heated, it could get pretty cold up there.   

...unless, of course, you happen to be a winter weather addict.

It is too early to tell right now. I always put my forecast out September 1st. No sooner. I base my forecast mainly off mother nature and folklore. Lets hope for a cold and snowy  , but how likely is that?

Alright guys I have something interesting to show you all. I was looking on Youtube and saw this random video of bad car wrecks on a bridge. We'll I kept looking and realized that this was in Nashville and without the help of signs figured out exactly where this bad stretch of wrecks happened.  I want to see if anyone can guess where this bridge is. If no one can guess than I'll give the actual location. This video has gotten over 177,000 views. I guess you could call this a contest sort of. Take a look!

[Clay]

Right down from Trousdale Ln. and across from the old Holiday Inn.

That is Harding over I65, facing towards Franklin road.  I know that overpass very very well.  I did find it amusing that TDOT had the wrong directional flasher on.. which I believe is probably what led that beamer to hit it. 

Anyway, yes, that's where the intersection is, people there speed ALL the time, and don't take into account the fact that when it's freezing cold out, that bridge never fails to ice over.  Funny thing is, I think know the person in the green cherokee...

Ok this jig is up. My guess was I-65 at Harding and you all did better than I thought. Yeah I live about 2 miles from there but the FRA sign on that hill gives it up. About 6 years ago my dad stalled his car on that bridge during rush hour and he had to call to me out there to get his car out of park to get it towed.

Yeah... glad Metro's finest finally decided to show up.

You could tell which ones were going to crash next... the ones cruising along at full speed, approaching the bridge as if it were a sunny warm day... with cars visibly stopped and turned sideways just ahead.

That was funny (and sad) about the TDOT truck flashing the arrow on the wrong side.  It took the officer walking around and seeing the mistake to correct the problem.  Oops!

  I hope the addict in me can get another 8 inch of Snow + plus Winter like last winter.

 Plus the storms in Feb and March rocked the Winter Storms at least.

I don't like the cold weather.

AW!!! Take that back!      I LOVE the cold weather over any hot day. Except when we got storms that produce hail, winds, and isolated, non damaging, tornado(es).
