Am I on the island from Lost? Traveling through time? Could somebody please tell me what the date is. I thought it was April 6, I must be mistaken. I thought that I was in Middle Tennessee, I must have been wrong about that also. The National Weather Service, hereafter known as the NWS, has forecast snow for tonight. The NWS has issued a Freeze Warning for tonight and tomorrow morning. More snow tomorrow and tomorrow night with a hard freeze. If this keeps up the next tourist attraction in Nashville will be the Opryland Glacier.

Have I ever mentioned that I hate cold weather?

We have snow and freeze forecasted also.

I'm not sure if I should be concerned for my little vegetable plants that are happily growing--all of which are 'supposed' to be planted by now in my zone--radishes, kale, onions, peas, broccoli, chard, beets, lettuces, cabbages, strawberries--any thoughts?

So this is what global warming looks like. :wink:

Update--I called the extension office and learned that our plants will be just fine. The only concern would be the strawberries in full bloom, but this is our first year of doing strawberries, so we're pinching blooms anyway.

FYI--just thought someone else could use the info.
