Are you ready? No, I said ARE!! YOU!! READY!!!!!

(sorry, thought I was DX for a sec)

It’s supposed to snow! My phone has alerted me multiple times this week that there is a possibility of 4-8 inches of snow tonight into Saturday morning.

There’s also a possibility Joe Biden could walk up steps while eating ice cream and not fall.

Many are skeptical — I mean it’s east Tennessee.

Unless your papaw is over the age of 75 and “walked to school up-hill both ways in a foot of snow,” not many of us have seen a legitimate snow storm — besides that one.

1993.

The blizzard of all blizzards.

While not old enough to remember it, I have heard stories from those who were, nearly my entire life.

From awesome sledding stories to disturbing uses of buckets, there was a span of time where east Tennesseeans lost all access to modern luxuries.

Yeah, those luxuries.

And it sucks, I know, but what they are doing sucks too. Trust me. 

So if you have access to any alternative heat, prepare for it because we can all go without the internet for a bit longer than electricity.

Oh, and let me get out in front of this, because it chaps my ass.

No … Your internet will not work without electricity. I promise you would be surprised at how many people ask that. As an electricity man myself, I would know.

Remember to just stay warm. It is the most important thing in a winter storm.

Well, almost the most important.
