I don't know about you guys, but where I live we are suppose to get 4-6 inches of rain in the next 36 hours. These are definitely Jeep driving conditions. Boy do I love being able to go through deep water when others can't:D

Yep us too... I'm about an hour south of where you are and it looks like we are in for tons of rain. Not a great time to have a full basement. When we get this much rain it's hard to keep the water out.

We went to Aetna Saturday and it was nasty muddy not to mention the fog. Setting at the top of the peanut butter hole, you couldn't see half way to the bottom the fog was so thick. Never seen anything like it.

the weather man says some snow mixed in with the rain tomorrow. So, everyone better prepare for a blizzard.

So far the only ice we have had is on the mountain tops and in a few shady areas, but plenty of rain!

A lot of main roads are now shut down in Chattanooga. It's been difficult getting around tonight. It has taken several people I know hours to get home when usually its only about a 20-25 minute drive. I've driven through a lot of police tape also. Still, I can go through what 90% of the people can't around here:yelclap:

We may be getting up to 1" of snow tonight. If the road conditions get to "red" or "black", I won't have to go to work :D

If it had rained another half day I was seriously considering breaking out the pvc and building a snorkel.
I run small back roads the 40 mile round trip to work and back...........Tuesday morning was interesting...............Tuesday evening was something else entirely.

I had to get out and flag down a car to let them know that they weren't on the road anymore,they were headed into someone's yard. Most of the time I couldn't tell where the road ended and the fields/ditches began and I've run these roads for 10 years.

Sometimes the only thing keeping the Ford on the road was the extra weight from the 4.0/AW4 in the bed........

I like it.....except the wife has forbidden me from breaking out the canoe Friday.


I do feel sorry for any of you Chattanoogans who live/work near South Chickamauga Creek.....
