Rarely does it get this cold in Gatlinburg, and that's one of the many reasons why people enjoy living here so.  Our very mild climate, but with discernible seasons, is one of my favorites.  Only occasionally does it get very hot or cold here in the Smokies.  To be sure, there are every winter a few days (although more often in January or February) when temperatures will fall into the teens.  Still, our winters are for the most part mild and short lived except if you are talking about at the peak of Mt. LeConte where much more extreme conditions are frequently encountered.  Two feet of new snow and temperatures hovering around zero don't sound mild at all!  For a taste of what the current weather conditions are at the LeConte Lodge, check out this link . Fortunately, the land at the top of Mt. LeConte, or the rest of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park will never (I hope!) be for sale.  The real estate around our Gatlinburg area offers gr...

August is usually our hottest month in East Tennessee but it's generally cooler in Gatlinburg than in other parts of Sevier County.  It HAS however been the hottest summer here in a long while! The temperature sensor in the rear view mirror of my truck is generally superbly accurate but it WASN'T really this hot in Sevierville yesterday: Extended idling on a very hot day caused the temperature reading above which was about 40 degrees higher than the actual outdoor temperature.  Fortunately, our summers here aren't normally this steamy and autumn is on the way - I for one can't wait!  If you have never visited Gatlinburg in the fall you've missed a real treat.  Cooler and crisper, the views are better and the scenery is fantastic due to the large number of brightly colored hardwood trees.  If you prefer near 100 degree weather, come as soon as you can - the weather forecasters are predicting a couple more weeks of very warm weather here in the...

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?...
