Attention Yankees: please come get your weather
January 10, 2011 7 Comments
Dear Yankee friend,
I realize the news has been occupying all our minds recently, so perhaps it has escaped your attention that your weather is out of your back yard. While you were watching the news, your weather sneaked out and has found its way down South. While we appreciate the bracing air and fluffy fat snowflakes visiting, we are unaccustomed to cold weather and don’t really own coats. Since Tennessee shares a snow plow with the State of Alabama and the Alabama people are hogging it so they can clear their streets in time to get people to bowl game parties, we are left to fend for ourselves here in Nashville and it is kind of sucking. If it would be OK, would you mind coming down and getting your weather? We would really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
The South
The Parthenon has snow on it. Actual real live snow.
PS from Baxter:
Dear Yankee, no rush. The snow is awesome.

Dear Southerners,
Us yankees were just trying to show you some of our “Northern Hospitality.” We like to share the things that are nearest and dearest to us! However, it appears that this gift is not really appreciated, so we have used our silent snow whistles, and are calling the snow home, it should be back here in the north Tuesday night, and from what we hear, it is very upset with the south. All it wanted to do what make the children happy, by letting them build snowmen, and snowforts, go sledding,and engage in good old fashion snowball fights. It also wanted to give all the people of the south a day off from work, and a little exercise in shoveling driveways. Now the storm is upset, and will take out its frustration on us, once it gets home. Next time we will send you something more suited to your tastes, like Lady Gaga!!
It is my understanding that a citywide snowball fight was organized by Nashvillest for last night: http://nashvillest.com/2011/01/10/citywide-snowball-fight-tonight-at-6pm-centennial-park-arcticblast2011/. We do appreciate all the good intentions, we’re just not cut out for cold weather. If you read the article, they told people to bring their cookie sheets to sled on. We don’t have sleds. It’s kind of tragic, really.
But we just figured that we would help all those Big Fluffies, used to the white fluffy stuff. Just ask them, they love it.
ps what size shoe do you wear? I’m sure I have an extra pair of boots I can send down to keep your tootsies warm…
Baxter is pretty happy about all the snow and so is Bess. Size 10, please. Sasquatch has nothing on me.
Size 10s. Consider them on the way. btw we will take the snow back, but we WILL NOT take the 20 degree temps back!
i am filled with an unhealthy amount of envy right now. before the north comes and get the snow, could you please lend some to the west?
Just let me know where to send it. I’ll be happy to send the cold weather your direction.
