Now between the Cumberland and Smokies, nice mild climate and a
variety of beautiful hardwoods. Moved from L.A. in '89.
We thought about east TN, but those beautiful mountains cause more swings
in the weather... I'm born in Miami and snow is new to me. There's less
snow and ice on the SW corner (or so we're told.)
But the summer humid-duh-deedew is a killer...

(25 yrs in Oak Ridge area...)

Compared to 3 miles from the Gulf in Florida, or earlier 7 miles from the
Atlantic?
Not!

As compared to those, yes--they're at least within some reach of the
coastal air movements, Memphis ain't got nuthin' goin' for it in summer...

Living 2 hours north of Elvis' resting place I can attest it is both
the heat and humidity of August that does not move it just hangs
there.....
