Snow in the Smokies

My computer was at the Apple Store for the past week since it needed a repair, so it's been more than a week since I could post.

We traveled to Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains last Monday (before Christmas) to see some of the snow that had fallen. The road from Gatlinburg to Cherokee was closed due to snow and ice, but we were able to see quite a bit of snow on other roads from the mountains to Townsend. There were "Watch for Ice" signs along the road.

A lot of the limbs had snow on them, but it was starting melt, so we heard a constant water drip sound. Enjoy these winter scenes!

 

 

 

Before we drove up into the mountains, we ate lunch at the Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg and looked around.

Look at that green Christmas sweater and matching red skirt! 

 

As we drove home, we stopped and captured a shot of Gatlinburg from high above the city.

We haven't gotten any snow in Knoxville since the first snow of the season in early December, so it was nice to see the snow in the Smokies and really get into the Christmas spirit.
