It's generally very nice here, maybe one or two days of Polar Vortex freeze each year, and August can get pretty hot, but overall it's a moderate climate. East Tennessee is mountainous and therefore milder.
Middle and west Tennessee are lower elevation and more flatland so it can get quite hot and prone to tornadoes in the spring.
No problem. Another thing you might consider is that the farther west you get in Tennessee, it changes politically too. East Tennessee is very red, with pockets of blue (University of Tennessee and certain minority enclaves), while middle and west TN are more ambiguous...the counties are mostly red but the cities of Nashville and Memphis are enemy-held territory as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, we're looking more to the eastern part, up in the mountains. Can't handle the insanity of the blue brigade. We currently live in a conservative area of west Florida, looking for a town in the hills where we can grow old in peace.

Thanks for the reply. The information is very helpful.

Lenoir City, Maryville, and Clinton come to mind. Smallish city-towns and quite livable.
