Winter

 

We are now well into winter in most places and East TN is no exception...  We have already had our first snow that stayed on the ground a few days and in a couple of days, we will jump up into the 50s and 60s for a couple of weeks before returning back down to the 30s and 40s.

East TN is  great place to live because of the weather and it being mild during the winter months which last Jan-Feb-Mar.  Not all of March is cold as it starts warming up half way through the month.  And just when you think warm weather is back, April comes in being colder than normal.

We are protected by the Cumberland Plateau to our west and the Smoky Mountains to our east.

So, now that we are in our last few days our January, it is easy to smell warm weather coming in about 6 weeks, but if the 50s/60s hold true for two weeks, then we only have 30 more days of winter which is fine with me.

Other places are warmer and other places are colder most of the time which is why I like East TN as it is right in the middle and we get all four seasons but mainly spring, summer, and fall.
