 Good morning, It’s currently 28 degrees and socked-in up top. We received .5” inches of new snow. The road (HWY 441) is currently open. Stay up to date on any changes at the link below. https://goo.gl/HikrMr 24 hour temperature range: High 38 Low 26 -- The soothing hum of wind can be heard in the distance. Fresh snow clings to my boots. Damp sleet kisses my cheeks. I smile. Winter was back up top - I was back in the shaken snow globe. How long before the glass ornament settles? How long before blue skies return? The thoughts don’t worry me much. I have plenty of books to keep me company during the grey days. It’s colder than I anticipated and my coffee rest coolly back in the kitchen. How long do I want to dwell out here in the frozen rain? Again, the thoughts don’t worry me much. I have plenty of time to warm up… I disappear into the forest. Onward, Seth "I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move."

Thank you for your beautiful descriptive writings. My husband will be making his semi- annual trip up LeConte next Saturday with a few friends and family. If there’s anything you need or special requests, please let us know and he will bring it up, Lord willing. I’d love a pic of them with you. Keep up the writing.

love your posts -- the pictures are great. From the mid '90's until 2005, my wife I get came to LeConte each year the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We are from Jefferson County and have been secondary school educators for 43 years -- 23 years in New England and 20 in the South. We are retired now in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. We have a print of Mt. LeConte by Randell Ogle over our fireplace. We are in our 70's and my wife had a heart transplant over seven years ago, but we dream of hiking LeConte again. Merry Christmas and be safe my friend.
