I hope this post finds everyone continuing to enjoy the holidays. Been rather quiet on the mountain, and thankfully rains returned to our forecasts after the devastating Gatlinburg (and other) fires since the last post.
Back several weeks we had a solid shot of Arctic air where lows got into the lower teens a couple of mornings...but to date we have not had even a skiff of snow, and temperatures have returned to the mild side of the fence. In fact, on Christmas evening it was still 52 degrees at 8pm....quite the contrast to 6 years ago when we got 9" of snow in ACA!

If you want to see a decent snow, you may well get your wish the end of next week, January 5-6. Preliminary outlooks suggest 4"-7" of snow, but with so many variables this far out, just a heads up for now.
May you all continue to have a safe and enjoyable holiday, and best wishes for a grand start to 2017! I'll be posting weather/travel updates closer to any event that may be heading our way.
