First Snow of the Season in the Southeast

Yesterday on Mt LeConte in the Smokies
Other weather and mountain dorks may enjoy the daily updates from LeConte - LINK
IMO pretty neat that there is a borderline subalpine climate 3.5 hrs from Atlanta

6000 feet or so. It's a beautiful hike, especially along the boulevard.

I've gone to the bluff but never up to the Lodge.

Climate change!

There has even been a little bit today down at the Newfound Gap, which is just over 5,000 feet.

Does it normally snow there this time of year?

It’s not uncommon. The lodge on Mt. LeConte is at nearly 6,400 feet of elevation.

It's a great hike but a long one to do up and down in a single day.

I think October snow is fairly common, just from observation.

I've put in reservation requests several times (they usually open up in October - I don't know if I missed this year), but never gotten in.
Anyone ever stayed there or have any scoop on scoring reservations outside of their rather arcane request set up?

It's a ways from pigeon forge. All the way through Gatlinburg and then up about halfway through the park.

Fun fact: It rarely gets hotter than 70-75 degrees up top.

The heat wave will continue to roll in the Smokies today and lead into the final weekend of August. The lodge has endured its longest stretch of consecutive days in the lower to mid 70s this week, with ascents of the mountain feeling extra humid of late.

Yup, the weather is amazing up there at 5-6K feet.

Thanks for sharing. Love stuff like this. Especially in the smokies. Spent a lot of time in that park as a kid. My family had a house in gatlinburg since the early 70’s but we lost it in those fires back in 2015.

Was in the Pisgah National Forest last week. Had ice on my windshield in the early morning. Was a bit chilly
