As you can see from my view this morning, the clouds are rolling in over the top of the mountain.  The forecast is calling for more snow but who knows how much?  It's a bit warmer today.  It's 16 degrees right now.  The low was 4 and the high was 17.  There's still a 15 inch base of snow on the mountain.  Highway 441 and Cherokee Orchaed road are open today so hikers can get to the trail heads.  But it may not be easy getting out!  The forecast calls for a couple inches of snow this afternoon.  If you're hiking the Smokies in this weather be careful and stay warm.

   A friend asked if I colud post a shot of Rainbow Falls so they could see how much ice is on the falls.  My friend Steve hiked past Rainbow Falls yesterday and sent me this picture.  Thanks Steve, this picture of the Falls really reminds me  of  how important it is to do what you love.  To live each moment, One Day At A Time.
