As amazing as the snow in New York City was, it pales in comparison to the weather seen somewhere much closer to home. As of 7:30 this morning there was 41" of snow on the ground at Mt. Leconte in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. According to the National Weather Service, yesterday's high there was 10 above and this morning's low was 4 above zero. There is a web cam at Look Rock in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park that provides a view of Mt. Leconte in the distance.
