Good Morning,
It’s currently 30 degrees and still socked in up top. Yesterday’s initial rain came as a deluge of snow; then it warmed up and continued as a mix of rain/sleet. We ended up with 2 inches of snow on the ground. We received .32 inches of precipitation. 24 hour temperature range | High: 33 Low: 25 *US Hwy 441/Newfound Gap Rd from Gatlinburg TN to Cherokee NC is temporarily closed due to snow/ice. NOAA 7-Day Forecast Mountain - Forecast Weather Smokies Road Info -- A hazy veil fell over the mountain, LeConte was officially socked in. I poured a hot cup of joe and took to collecting my thoughts. Ideas moved like an inversion from days past. I held tightly to the moment; the heavy silence of a mountain morning is something to behold - something to appreciate in its entirety. Not in a hurry and not looking to pause, I finished the morning tasks and continued pouring my mind out onto the bound pages of my little black notebook. My fingers found a pen to write, letting the mountain do all the talking. Onward, Seth

Loved the John Muir quote! Yes, going to the mountains is going home. I haven't seen the Smokies since October and feel very homesick! The picture yesterday of the light coming through the trees was beautiful. Looks like it will be lots of wind and cold weather this weekend. Stay warm and safe!
