We're in the middle of another bad blizzard. I think we've beaten the last snowfall record by a foot and now my fence lines are getting buried. Had a passerby tell me my cows were in the road last night so I've been making 6ft snow walls all day to block the cattle in.

Oh, there are indeed bears around. They pass through every once in a while.

One time at work a bear walked right in through a truck door. Production came to a halt and everybody got on fork lifts and ram motors for protection.

The cops came, called the game commission who darted the bear and removed him or her to safety.

And the plant manager bitched that it was just a bear and next time keep working.

Fuck that. Safety first was posted all over the walls.

My mother in law lives up in the mountains. My niece went out to get a "dog" out of the trash can one evening and came back in the house quickly when she found out it wasn't a dog.

It's super fucking windy here today. I'm banking on I'll accomplish picking up tree branches and other small projectiles most of the day. Hopefully not a whole tree, but it's a little unsettling hearing the strength of the woooooosssssshhhhhhhh.

Did you see that strange weather symbol for tomorrow on your phone app?

Will we be chased by canes or what?


Every leaf in the neighborhood winds up in front of my garage door when it's windy.

I'm just letting them in for a while. Sweep up later.

When you said you were in a tourist town I didn't know you meant Gatlinburg. I bet it's just like Panama City Beach, just without the thongs.

The first thru hikers of the season are already popping into Gatlinburg from SMNP. As usually, everyone is singing the blues about hitching out of town.

they're all the same, gatlinburg, panama city, myrtle beach...just change the background scenery and what's printed on the cheap plastic crap

i do see a lot of hikers every spring...if they're getting started now, they're taking a chance...there is still a lot of opportunity for the weather to turn bad overnight here, we get many short but bad storms in february and march...and if it gets cold enough to snow at my elevation, up on the higher trails its going to be killing cold

Lots of hikers are having to take extra Zeroes in hostels, waiting out storms. Leaving this early and you will spend more time off the trail. {time off trail = more money}

Fresh Ground is already out. The Leap Frog Cafe will hop up the trail, feeding hikers all they way to Maine. He picks a group of pretty fast hikers [3 Mile this year] and every 4-5 days will move up the trail to catch them.
