On the Haywood/Madison County line we have a foot of snow and still falling. Winds are gusting to 30mph or so. I'd say it qualifies as a blizzard. Luckily it is still a nice warm 20 degrees.

Gee, I can't wait to get another 10" on top of the 12" we got yesterday. In addition,
add that up to the 2' snowdrifts, and I might as well wait until Groundhog day to come out and see if there is a shadow.
