White Christmas 2010
These are a couple of pictures taken on Christmas day in 2010. It was so pretty and it has been a long time since we had a white Christmas. It snowed off and on (mostly on) all day Christmas day and on the 26th we had around 6 to 7 inches on the ground. It looked so beautiful and I love it except for the icy roads and cold temps that went with it. A lot of people who rented cabins in Gatlinburg were snowed in because of the roads being so bad. In Wears Valley they had over a foot of snow on Christmas day and I'm not sure what the total was when it finally quit snowing.

cold day
I got the snow I wished for so the grandkids could go sledding, build a snowman, and fix some snowcream - and then some! Last night we got sleet, freezing rain, and supposedly rain but our sidewalk is still frozen over from the sleet and freezing rain and our driveway is so icy that Marc just called and when he went out this morning he said it was so slick it was a good thing nothing was coming down 139 because he could not get stopped at the bottom of the driveway and when he tried to get back home about an hour ago it was so slick he could not make it up the driveway. He had a meeting later this afternoon in Sevierville so he went on into town and is trying to find something to kill some time. I love the snow but I hate the cold that comes with it! It was only down to 11 degrees last night but with the wind it is cold enough and a lot of people are out of power because the freezing rain caused trees to fall down across power lines and in some cases the power lines themselves were so heavy from the ice they were coming loose from the power boxes. We do have power and since I am at home I am warm and we have food, so I consider myself very fortunate.
