It's going to be a long winter....



October has been a strange weather month. One day last week, I wore shorts and flip flops. Then the temp dropped to those fall like days and I put on jeans and tennis shoes. Early morning would require a light jacket, but later in the day short sleeves were very comfortable.


A couple of days ago, it rained so hard it sounded like it was beating the roof off. We had rain for the better part of 24 hours. Yesterdady was very windy and the chill would cut right through you. The temperatures had dropped so much on the rain day, that we got a good dusting of snow up on the mountains. This was taken around yesterday afternoon by The Village in Gatlinburg, TN.


And this was on Newfound Gap yesterday in Gatlinburg, TN.


So, to sum it up, we have already had spring, summer, fall and winter....just during October. I shudder to think what December and January will bring.
