Good morning all!

The Smoky Mountains are living up to their name this morning! It is 46 degrees up top currently, thick fog accents the surrounding evergreens. Yesterday's high was 47 degrees, with a low temp of 38. We received 1.4 inches of rain yesterday, and the wind howled constantly through the night. Light rain is predicted for the rest of the day, temps should stay in the mid-40s until later this evening. If you plan on hiking the mountain today, be sure to bring your rain gear and some dry clothes! The trails are pretty soggy, with some small patches of ice near the top. Days like this are perfect for reading, writing, yoga, and napping!
