First storm of the season!  Little ice pellets raining down. Mt. LeConte shrouded in a snowstorm. Travel over Newfound Gap in the Smoky Mountains not advisable.

Bring it on!  Snow us in! Heat up the chocolate.

    Your pictures are beautiful! It really reflects the beauty of God’s earth!
    I just had a question. Here in Texas, we have hail storms that look like what you call Ice Pellets in two of your pictures. What is the difference?

    They just seemed different than the round hailstones. Bigger than sleet, but not quite hail. Just little chunks of ice.
