1st Snow of the Season is the Perfect Gatlinburg Storm

Although earlier than usual the first snow of the season has come and it is a typical East Tennessee snow. Typical because it started snowing around 6 AM, was mainly done by late morning, and we got a total of around 2 inches. Much of what fell during the night came as rain and none of it stuck on the roads. The scenery is spectacular but the roads are clear and by this afternoon it will probably be pretty well melted away even off the grass. This is the perfect storm because it gives you all of the beauty without the hassle. In our mild climate this is pretty common around here. Sure, there are occasions when the snow does stick to the asphalt but that is the exception rather than the rule. School closes for anything more than a flurry but even that isn't an issue since this snow came early on Saturday morning. Perfect indeed was this first snow storm of the season for our Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville community!
What does this have to do with Gatlinburg real estate you ask? The mild climate is yet another reason I love living in the East Tennessee Smoky Mountains. For all of the reasons please click here!

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Smoky Mountain Water Wells but were Afraid to Ask!

Unlike more urban communities, many Smoky Mountain homes still have water supplied by individual underground wells. The fact is that only a relatively small (but ever growing) portion of our area is served by municipal utility water. This is rarely a problem as wells here in the Gatlinburg and surrounding area usually produce clear and good tasting water for significantly less cost than utility water once the one-time expense of drilling the well is covered. In fact, while there are certainly exceptions, our area is known for exceptionally clean and good tasting well water. More than one brand of bottled water is actually drawn from underground sources right here in the Smokies. What can go wrong you ask? Unfortunately, plenty! In those relatively rare cases where a well’s iron or sulfur content causes the water to be unsuitable, a water filtration system can generally be installed to remedy the situation. Water filtration can be as basic as a very inexpensive cotton string filter th

I have had this blog since 2003 but didn't really get serious about regularly writing here until the beginning of 2007. I do truly enjoy the opportunity to share my thoughts about our local Gatlinburg area real estate market including the surrounding communities of Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Seymour, Kodak, and Cosby. The only problem with writing any type of blog is that you really aren't sure just how many people are reading much less care about what you are pontificating about. If you are reading this blog, regularly or for the very first time, PLEASE comment me. It's easy, painless, and won't leave any sort of mark. In fact, you can even remain totally anonymous but yet let me know that you are out there. Like the age old question of "If a tree falls in the forest with nobody there to hear, does it make a noise?", a blog writer could wonder "If I write something meaningful but nobody reads it, does it matter?". If you like, you can even tel
