We had planned to spend tonight with good friends in Nashville,TN. Instead we are staying in a roadside motel about forty miles south of Nashville. The ride up I-65 was uneventful for most of the day,but then we hit a big winter storm. Trucks and cars littered the roadside testifying to the ice and snow. Driving was getting pretty scary. We have not seen a snow plow. No salt has been spread on the road. The wisest thing seemed to find a safe place to wait until the storm has passed. So we are warm and dry, looking forward to a quiet peaceful evening.
Two days ago we enjoyed walking along the white sandy beaches of Florida's panhandle. The sun was shining and we were enjoyed temperatures in the mid-sixties. These are some of the prettiest beaches I have ever seen. Several people referred to this pretty place as the Redneck Riviera.

Thanks for the book reccomendation.
I just finished the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. It was such a great read. I couldn't put it down.
Glad you are dry, warm, and safe.
So glad you did the sensible thing,and got off the road.
I really don't like driving in snow..Too unpredictable.
Isn't it crazy how different weather can be from one state to the next, to the next, etc? I'm glad you pulled off the road and went to a hotel--good plan. :)
ah, the joys of traveling by road in the winter! stay safe and warm, and we'll see you when you get back.
Happy to know you are safe.
Ah Florida... how warm and sunny. Never heard the panhandle called that before. Though, I have heard Gatlinburg, TN called the Hillbilly Honeymoon capital.
At least you could trudge to a waffle house!
Crazy weather we are having all around the states...we are done with winter in Mooseland--NO SNOW at all this year...boooo. But you look like you are enjoying all sorts of weather..glad someone is out there having some fun!
