wavefan64 10 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Just wondering how much snow everyone got out of the big storm system...We have about 4 or 5 inches in the Dry Fork area of Vansant right now, and the wind is terrible. Its been snowing since about 4:30 heavily and hasn't let up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues_56 23 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Looks like tazewell had a wet snow, the kind that sticks to trees powerlines and everything,lol...here in richlands it was the dry stuff but none the less...still have the roads completely covered and shut down basically. Hope these churches closed cause it wouldnt be good for everyone to be out right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues_56 23 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Claypool hill last nite was a nitemare, the cuts were the worst since the last bad icing we had. There were cars on the side of the roads just sittin there everywhere. Id say its better now but its hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlue02 11 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I left work early because of the roads. I got a little Z-28 and they dont go to well in the snow. I didn't chance the cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance 228 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 T-Town is screwed in the town itself, the 4 lane is not that bad if you don't drive like and idiot or get run over by one. You could ski from one end of T-Town to the other if you wanted to...no pavement to be seen anywhere. I got what I had to get and went straight home...not much traffic out. You guys be carefull out on the roads....it's slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues_56 23 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Just got home from wal mart, about the same as wat u said the town itself is where the roads are bad, 4 lane is good till the cuts then they got one lane open there, but the sun is out and is tryin to melt a lil bit off the roadway now.
