I just turned 58 on Saturday. I remember it snowed at Eva one winter so deep my Dad had to dig a path out to feed our Black Angus cows. And my Mom made pictures of it. I remember the Tenn River froze over in some spots people drove trucks out on it. We moved to Decatur and we would be out from school 3 or 4 times a year from snow. I remember summers where it was over a hundred also as we only had window units for cooling. I think it is going back the other way. Hope the quail come back as I remember my dad and friends killing 30 birds on a Saturday hunt. It was the back water that froze over. But I have seen a picture of before the dam was built with a model A out on the river section when it was froze. Tigger you remember the first time we got gatorade at football practice? Our favorite manager was out there mixing it up in the cooler with his hand. Those couple sips sure were good!
