Tonight Middle Tennessee is resting peacefully beneath a blanket of snow. Bitter cold set in here as it has in much of the eastern United States. With the cold came swirling winds and all this white stuff. So far this winter cold we’ve been experiencing is about 20 degrees below the normal averages for our region. December has been extremely cold! What I find interesting is that two years ago on December 12th we also had our first snowfall of 2008 (more on the 2008 December Snowfall).
I’ll take more pictures tomorrow when I actually go out in the snow but here’s a glimpse of what we’ve had so far! I also posted a couple webcam videos of the snowfall on The Home Garden Facebook page – not extremely riveting videos I’ll admit – but snowfall is always exciting to see the first time each year!

Oh boy, that is cold.
We've had below temps here. Rained today, windy then sunny/windy.
It sure is cold! The good news is no school and no work for hubby. A nice day to stay off the roads.
No real accumulation here yet, we had a dusting last week though. Have fun sledding, making that snowman and drink lots of hot chocolate to stay warm & toasty. 🙂
Thanks for your snowy submission, Dave — I've added it to the rest. 🙂
Wow, you have snow, it looks magical!

Wonderful shots for your 'first snowfall' post, Dave. By now I am sure you've received much more! Seems the south has been dumped on continuously so far this year!! Hope you had a Merry Christmas:-)
