This is the year I'm Tennessee bound.
Tuck, I'm sure you're looking forward to joining the millions who have fled Michigan. An otherwise great state, its festering wound in the southeast is simply too much to contend with. I left for the final time in 1997 - two years after I retired from the Army - and not a moment too soon.
Good luck!

Michigan to Ohio....... yeah, that's a significant change......... ::)
Bitchslapped for not paying attention.
He's already said he's moving to TENNESSEE, ya dolt. (Reply #7) :rotf:
I was referring to YOU, ya dolt....... BSed back because you've failed reading comprehension 101
Ohh, and Happy New Year!!
Even worse...... Michigan to Illinois and THEN to Ohio... Some of the three worst states in the country......
It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it. :p
Dodged a few bullets though, and wound up in Missouri.
But final retirement's gonna be in Tennessee. Tuck's got it RIGHT.
I was born there. In the mountains of Jonesborough/Irwin. They're gonna welcome me back with open arms. I don't have any blood kin north of Middlesboro, KY.
BTW. I lived in Berkley for a few years. My Daddy got transferred there.
I've got a few relatives in Elizabethton, but we're not real close. Nope, we're planning on moving back to Jackson, TN (about midway between Nashville and Memphis) on I-40. Great town.
Mrs E lived in Jackson, TN for 10 years before I met her. I moved down there and we got married and stayed another year before moving to Utah.
Whatever happened in Millington, TN (about 75 miles due west of Jackson) wasn't necessarily "normal". Jackson and environs are famous for the ol' business of a mere dusting of snow paralyzing an entire COUNTY for days on end. Schools and businesses shut down and people hibernate in their homes until the snow goes away - which doesn't normally take long.
That part of Tennessee is simply unprepared for snow of any depth.
That said, if I never see another snowflake as long as I live it'll be too soon. The older I get the more intolerant I get of cold, wet, nasty weather.
There is NO part of TN that is prepared for snow of any depth!
I live in the foothills of the Smokies, with a wide variety of elevations throughout the county. My county has 2000 miles of road and 25 DUMP trucks with snowplow blades attached to the front of them. We do not have anything that could be even remotely considered a real snowplow. ::)
The trucks may go out on the interstate roads (I40 and I75 intersect here) before the snow stops. They will eventually hit the primary roads after the interstate. They may hit secondary roads. They do not do tertiary roads or subdivisions at all, no matter how deep the snow may get! They will salt for ice only on interstate and primary roads.
If they get 1/2" of snow, people are emptying the water and non perishables off of the shelf.
