Grandfather Mountain doesn't look particularly friendly this morning.

Yeah, I saw this on here yesterday and was ready to post that I'd been up there like that before… then I saw the 102mph gusts, and said no the hell I haven't.

Been in that top parking lot before with 65mph gusts and could barely walk to the building and almost had a car door ripped off, and I hiked the Grandfather Trail to Calloway's peak with snow and ice on the ground in steady 40mph winds (I was the only car on the mountain that day in early 2012). But I can't even imagine standing up even in 102mph.

That Grandfather Trail hike was my last uncompleted trail on that mountain that I knocked out by myself in February 2012, right before I had to move to the coast, nothing was keeping me from finishing that out. Now, I can barely walk to the fridge…

That's awful. Prayers for those affected.

Tornado's at night is the one weather event I fear most of all.

Some video right here from Mayfield, Kentucky. Pretty much the whole town is destroyed. Unbelievable what Mother Nature can do. Prayers for all those affected.

When the tornado came through in 1988 that destroyed the K-Mart, that happened at about 12:30 in the morning and missed our house by about 200 yards. My dog was acting crazy all night because of the thunderstorms. My 6 year old son kept yelling tornado is coming early in the evening. I heard the thunder and my wife heard the train sound and got out of bed of and was going to check the TV for warnings then the power went out.

Man that's spooky. Reminds me of the scene from Day After Tomorrow when the tornadoes destroy Los Angeles.

It's the Winter Solstice here in the northern hemisphere: the shortest day of the year. From this point onwards, the days get lighter. https://t.co/0regE2fWzS

Looking like there's a chance of some wintry weather this weekend, hopefully snow and not ice.

Unfortunately trending towards ice. Hope that's wrong.

Sounds like we are going to get everything at some point. Got some fuel for the generator just in case we lose power. Also got some food as well. I hate ice and that's what I'm worried about, plus winds up to 40. Not good.

That's pretty cool. Going to be interesting tomorrow to see what the snows does/doesn't do. Either way, I got plenty of booze. LOL

I got the last 2 bottles of 46 that was on our stores shelf today. First time I've been able to get it here in a couple of months. Mrs. BTG just came into the den and said "our snowpocalypse has begun" and laughed.

If it is as major as the one last weekend was, I should be able to tee off about 10 am Sunday unless they say the course is too wet to play.

We also had snow and I was out sledding for several hours. It was Super Bowl Sunday! Our power went out that night and we had to spend the next night in a hotel. Got down to about 40 degrees inside.

LOL. I remember being involved in an entire day long snowball fight in the commons area of Fraternity Court that day… epic fun, it wasn't necessarily certain houses against certain houses because it changed multiple time throughout the day. But, damn… that was a fun day. (and glad that it was a long time ago as well).

That was about 1 week before I got married. The high for the day was -6F. My beard and mustache froze just from me breathing.
