Good Morning, It’s currently 33 degrees with high winds and rain. We didn’t receive any new precipitation last night, but we are accruing some now. I wouldn’t recommend venturing out in these conditions. Falling timber is a real hazard with these winds. 24 hour temperature range | High: 35 Low: 28 *US Hwy 441/Newfound Gap Rd from Gatlinburg TN to Cherokee NC is temporarily closed due to high winds NOAA 7-Day Forecast Mountain - Forecast Weather Smokies Road Info -- Wind and rain pummel the mountain. I listened quietly in my warm wood clad cabin. Appreciating an excuse to tuck into a novel, I disappeared into a proper adventure from nearly a century ago. The wind shook my loft, inviting me out into the foray. Politely declining, at first, a change of heart took over. I slid on my boots. Outside, I made a round to see how the lodge was faring. It was thirty-three and raining. I didn’t envy anyone wandering around the mountain in these conditions. Everything was intact, so I made for the kitchen and pulled out a cookbook. A rainy day was made for baking. Onward, Seth P.S. - The photos for today were from a couple days ago. Purple skies and a moon on the move! "The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

We are expecting potentially damaging winds and rain in Florida tonight. Hoping it clears tomorrow so we can see the full Wolf Blood moon with the eclipse.
