Tennessee Water and Fire

About Tennessee Water and Fire

Freezing rain along the Stones River is the quietest kind of trouble — no drama, no drifts, just a sheet of glass over every driveway in Hermitage by morning. Tennessee Water and Fire answers that weather with plows, shovels and salt, clearing drives, entries and sidewalks so the ice never gets to set a second layer. The bottomland near the confluence stays damp and cold long after a storm passes, which makes timing more important than muscle. Work that starts at the wrong hour has to be done twice. Getting there before daylight, while the surface is still workable, is the whole trick of a Middle Tennessee winter.
