Perfect. Now if everyone would do that Tenneesse would stay a nice place with Rebel flags and doublewides. By the way, those are some of the best people on earth.

Sulli1998,

I think you are painting the residents of Tennessee with rather broad strokes. I recall while being in Florida, hearing my Jamaican neighbor refer to my other neighbor from Puerto Rico as being filthy ****'s. I do not hold it against the residents of Florida because one or even many people are bigots, that is rather silly don't you think?

I would like to point you towards Monterey, Tennessee that has a staggering 38% Hispanic median population average. Now if it were so biased against minorities, then I doubt there would be such a large population. After all, if it were so bad, then why are so many Hispanic's moving into the area instead of out of it?

A picture is worth a 1000 words. In early February of 1989, my wife, 1 year old son, and I drove to relocate to Florida. It had rained, then froze and the sun shone bright. I have never seen anything more breathtaking then the image over every hill, the limbs from the treees were all coated in ice, and the sun caused them to twinkle. Of course, there were no digital cmeras then, but the image in my mind will stay there forever.

Thanks for the beautiful snow shot!

You are of course most welcome. I will say this, with that beauty comes the price of trying to learn how to drive on this stuff as this is basically my driveway. Sadly, they don't make cars with bumpers all the way around.

I know what you mean about driving in it. I lived up north attending high school and college in Toledo, Ohio. Lake effect snow, sub zero temperatures, Florida was a welcome relief. In time, I will have to relearn the whole driving in snow stuff.

Those are some beautiful shots. It's been a long time since I've been to Wilder, I think I might head over there next time I'm in Monterey.

And I definitely want a lot of snow this year! It's been far too long.

Thanks for sharing!
