Video of Gatlinburg Snow

Terrible quality as I used a handheld camera but take it for what its worth!
The squirrel was like a pet, pretty amazing how he/she took food right from your hand.

Gatlinburg Snow 2009

Here are several of the best pics from my trip to Gatlinburg this past weekend. On top of the mountain where we were staying we received 5-7" and it was still snowing when we left.

Blustery Conditions Ahead

Here is a look at the 18z run of the GFS valid noon Thursday. Thursday appears to be a blustery day with an icy North wind. Temperatures will struggle to reach freezing both Thursday and Friday. It appears Friday morning will be our coldest morning of the young year with lows anywhere from 5 F-20 F depending on your elevation. The lower valleys will see the lowest temperatures.

Shelf Cloud approaching I-65 on 1/7/09

Pics of shelf clouds approaching I-65 associated with TVS signature. I was a bit north of the Mt. Olive exit but south of the Warrior exit on I-65. I was going to put the corresponding radar image for the time the pictures were taken but I forgot to save the image.
