I wish all of what's going on was just a bad April Fool's joke. We are fortunate to live in such a rural area, but precautions still must be taken to keep issues down to a hopeful minimum. I see where the path around Lake Junaluska is now herding walkers into going the same direction around the lake, with sheriff's deputies helping to ensure that is happening. Be safe in running your necessary errands. I wake up every day and am thankful that we live in such a beautiful area, which is oh so helpful when being mostly home-bound.
If this is your first spring on the mountain, we are hitting the explosion zone. In the next three weeks you will see the leaves explode and wildflowers thicken quicklhy on the forest floor before getting shaded out. It's a glorious time all around. I'll soon be posting a blog of the wildflowers I find around the house with fresh pictures.
Late March and early April are volatile weather times where wild swings are possible....but they don't last long, thankfully. It's been a chilly rainy day, with most of us staying in the 40s. Wrap-around moisture will come in late overnight into the morning hours, with temperatures dropping into the mid and lower 30s. It should be cold enough for some snow showers to develop, but not cold enough to freeze the roads and cause driving issues. My models are pushing the ol' 0-1" range for ACA with 2-3" along the TN border. So, don't be surprised to see the ground get a little white in the morning, and know we'll warm up and get rid of it soon enough. Another wonderful warming trend will soon be taking place.
Stay safe, y'all.
Bob
