Many Chattanoogans enjoyed the excitement and beauty of the recent big snowfall. But many today are rejoicing that the snow and its inconveniences are mostly gone, at least for now.
We still see some snow remnants. But we are happy there were not more tragic accidents. We hope that most cases of personal privation were not serious. Of course, we still have to face higher heating bills when they come due. And our governmental officials have to deal with the higher costs that were involved in the very good service they gave in clearing our streets and highways.
But this is still January. We can’t be sure there won’t be repeat snow thrills and problems in February and March.
Maybe it would be a good idea to stock up with fuel and food in case we have to face some future extreme days of winter weather before spring breaks through again.
