Dear Nashville,
You know I’m a fan. You know that I love you. But I think you are going through a bit of an identity crisis. It’s been clear over the last few days that you are wanting to be more like other cities. You’ve gotten mixed up in the likes of Detroit, or Boston weather…but let’s have a reality check. Your weather is supposed to be mild this time of year. None of this snowing for three days, everything icing over and having the high temp of the day be 23 degrees. What’s that all about? Tisk tisk.
So if you wouldn’t mind, could you try pulling yourself together and gather up the gusto to bring back the 50 degrees I’d prefer right now.
Please and thank you.

Very cute! I should proabably write the city of Orlando too! When I moved here from North Carolina, I didn’t move for the 33° weather with a possible chance of flurries!!! REALLY?!? SNOW?!? IN FLORIDA?!? Get out of town! <—I just might!
Hopefully you're staying warm
Have fun in the studio, can't wait to hear new music 
mmhmm here in New Jersey, the high has been no more than 30 each day, but the wind chill makes it feel like 0. i’m not sure if i can deal with this for the next 2 months. spring….where are you?????
We’re on Day 19 or so of temps not even reaching 30 degrees here in Chicago.. It makes me so sad
And with the snowstorm we had on Wednesday/Thursday it took me and hour & a half to drive 13 miles of my 35 mile commute. I took snowdays Thursday & Friday.
Sounds pretty similar to the way things are here. Winter weather gets old fast!
Hopefully, conditions will improve soon.
I know it’s not normal, but just be thankful you don’t have 30 inches of snow to go with the cold, like it is here in Central NY. I am SO ready for spring.
Cheer up girls, and tada……write a song about it
agreed! i moved here from green bay to get away from this such weather and the weather here and there have been pretty comparable lately…minus the fact that ALLLL the schools closed for less than a dusting of snow;) that was rather amusing:)
Mostly sunny and very cold.
High: 15; Wind Chills: -5 to -20 in the morning
Wind: Becoming W 5-12 MPH
TONIGHT:
Mostly clear and continued very cold.
Low: -2; Wind Chills: -5 to -20
Wind: WSW 5-10 MPH
Madison Wisconsin yes I know we are suppose to be cold…
and I had put Nashville on my places I my want to retire to list.. this makes me think I should cross that one off….
Did you get a Sunggie for Christmas?
LOL….welcome to my life…except our high is only 16 degrees and with the wind it feels more like 8 and it’s ALWAYS snowing…I forget what the pavement and grass actually looks like because we don’t see it for months on end
Try living in Pennsylvania Kate! And you are from Chicago… you should be used to that haha!
That’s what I was thinking! Chicago is COLD. And I’m pretty sure PA and CO have it way worse haha. Except oddly…no snow right now. Hmmm
Another amazing piece of literature! Could you maybe send one to Montgomery, AL as well? Thanks.
haha you guys make me laugh (: but seriously… HOW THE HECK CAN YOU NOT LIKE SNOW?! ahhh it’s amazingggg! it’s snowing sooooo much here in england
not sick of it one bit!
send it over here!

i love this weather. i am a school teacher and this snow has given me a two day vacation (only in tennessee).
i just wanted to thank you for responding to my e mail. keragan was so excited when i told her you liked spongebob and patrick. also, i love the spork pic. honestly, that was just my sick humor. my students tell me i’m the most random person they know. i think they may be right.
as for the weather, it’s back to normal temps on monday. you know what that means for me….back to teaching high school students how to solve equations.
LOL Kate, trust me i’d rather have nashville weather than UK weather right now. it’s minus -20 degrees in some places over here and the countries been covered in some kina snow blizzard for the last week straight haha, you could always have our weather if you want?? LOL!
are you crazy??? snow is AWESOME!!! well it also might be the of the end of world coming… BUT it’s still AWESOME!!!
that calls for a snowman! so get out there
xo
I used to love New England winters, then I went to school in North Carolina. Then I moved back to Boston and now I hate winter. Once you get a taste of a mild winter you can never go back…
Sorry Nashville seems to be suffering from an identity crisis. For your sake I hope it “finds” itself soon! Hot chocolate helps.
I’m sending this message out to where I am too. I’m at school at the beach in NC and it’s been in the 30′s the past week. This is not supposed to happen!
Yes snow is awesome… But…. After two days of my dad having to drive me to work…because he has a four wheel drive truck and Because walmart never closes…. It’s annoying… But I’m taking my letter higher than the city…. GOD!!!
Dear GOD,
I would like to thank you for the pretty snow snow but please make it summer!! Thank you
Mary
And yes I said summer spring has tornados…. So let’s just skip that time of year!!!
Seriously! I’m home in NY right now for Winter break but I come back to Nashville on tuesday! There is no way that it is warmer here than in Tennessee. Come on Nashville!
I live in Kansas City and we havent seen so much snow in like 10 years. It’s ridiculous. Our pipes are frozen so we have no running water in the kitchen. Our driveway is basically a plank of ice….wtf mother nature. I got shit to DO
I mean, you’ve gotta admit, snow in Nashville is kind of fun/funny for a couple days out of the year. It’s fun watching the people that aren’t used to it lose their $h*t and clear the grocery shelves of milk and bread for a mere 4 inches of snow.
Not to go against the whole point of your post haha, but I’m headed back home to Nashville and I’d actually like to see at least a weeee bit of snow. Do you mind waiting just ONE more day? No? Okay, nevermind then. : )
I know this is nothing to most of you, but when it is 39 degrees in miami, you know something’s up. where’s that argument about global warming now, huh? I, for one, will try to enjoy it because I’m sure we’ll be back to 90 degrees any day now. then we can complain about that
suck it up buttercup! :p try living in a city where it is currently 10F haha
I totally agree. Snowing for three days straight…I need warmer weather!
chicago is worse. i can’t remember the last time it was at least 32 degrees. we just got a ton of snow too. i’m done with winter.
Too funny. I have to fess up though. The cold and snowy weather that the southern state are currently having make me feel better because living in Michigan I have always kind of resented the fact that they have such mild winters while we all suffered up here.
Seems like every state is going through a terrible winter,weird…..I have lived in New Jersey my whole life and still hard to deal with the winters! Think of the bright side Kate, you can get more Starbucks to keep you warm!
Dear Kate, I feel your pain….ATL is no better at the moment. I can’t remember the last time we were above freezing. At least y’all have pretty snow to look at. We’ve had black ice, 27 car pile ups, hundreds of canceled flights, etc. Seriously, getting iced in? Sort of fun, but not when you’ve got lots to do. *sigh*
If I were you, I would take the cold weather as an excuse to rock out a pink snuggie, if you have gotten one already.
haven’t* not have.
Shoot 23 is a heatwave to us in MN! And tomorrow we may just have that!!! And by Wed maybe even in the lo 30s…Yahoo!
We have ben in single digits during the day with negatives in the night hours and negative wind chill for all of Jan so far! Way to ring in 2010!!
Hope the 50s return!
what? kate?
Ditto that….where I live I haven’t seen snow properly my whole life (I’m 21), apparently it was bad when I was like 4 but I don’t remember that But right now we’ve had snow since mid Dec, really heavy snow up to my knees! (I’m 5ft 9) It was fun for a bit but now it’s just a pain
The whole world’s weather has gone insane.
hahaha Kate u are one funny lady. You should see the UK at the moment, theres snow and ice eveywhere and when i was shopping earlier it was -6!! I couldnt even feel my fingers to text – TRAGEDY!! haha. Hope it warms up for when u guys come over, otherwise u wont be a happy bunny Kate! lol
I am sending sum of my sunshine to you cos it’s 36 °C out here!
hahaha love it!
If you think that’s bad, wait until you hear this one.
Average weather in Miami you ask? Hmm 80 degrees in January.
Weather now? 37 Degrees, I’m not mentally nor physically prepared for this madness!

I could NOT agree more with this post.
I’m in East Tn. and honestly sick of worrying about the road/hill leading to my house being iced over, and wondering if I will get home without a mental breakdown. I love winter..and snow..all before Christmas..now its just a hassle! I’ve got some friends in GA who are dealing with these INSANELY low temps..and they’re what?..say it with me kids..HATING IT! anyway..Stay warm girls! 
That’s funny; cute
I think I should write a letter like that now. Michigan weather is just so unpredictable it sucks. Last year we had snow in May. This year we had hardly any till after Christmas. Now the temps are dipping down to the single digits and we got 6 inches of snow in one night. Next week it may be back up to 50 degrees. I think it’s time for a move haha 
Cold weather is nice…on the first day that its cold and then I’m over it!
Yup. I’m ready for spring…
Try living in Wisconsin.. Its -20 out right now:/
Eeek for cold weather! I’m vacationing on the east coast right now I’m totally jealous of the weather at home (California) — 82 degress.
I can spell– *degrees
WOOOOOOW kelly’s kickin your butts at twittering… do something, don’t let her win
xoxoxo
ah there you go! my twitter is filled up with kc…
Sounds like Nashville and Dublin were on the same wavelength LOL. Not saying we get mild weather in Dec/Jan, but the snow was CRAZY!!!
I know this is a late comment, but I find it hilarious that my city is usually one of the coldest in North America during the winter (one day we were second only to Siberia in terms of coldness with -78F with windchill!), but when you blogged this, my city was at 44F while you guys were at 23F.
Crazy? I think so. What is happening to this world?
it could be worse you could in Chicago and new england!or even at my old university of north Dakota? WHIMPS?
