I don’t want to confuse anyone with this morning’s photo of the day and this post, however the image above is one that was captured by Kenny Griffin and shared with our Facebook audience from July 26th as seen from the Hibriten Mountain camera. Pretty awe-inspiring!
All of the images I am sharing this morning are from LIVE CAM captures…and you can go and tour even more via our Mountain Cams link on ResortCams.com.
That Hibriten Mountain view cam is actually down the mountain in Lenoir and there are four cameras there – all aimed towards the mountains. WCNC Newschannel 36 uses those a lot on their broadcasts.
What a Cool Morning…in more ways the one…
It was 47° at my house this morning and as I looked around the weather stations via HighCountryWeather.com (click for Southeastern Ski Resort Weather) – the common theme was “chilly”. I saw 46.4° at Snowshoe this morning as well.
Those cool temps made for one of the prettiest drives into work this morning. The skies were crystal clear and blue. The mountains were vividly clear and it was as if my already good vision was vastly improved as the tree detail on the mountain ranges just stood out with the brilliant sun spotlighting them.
Yea, it was one of those kind of mornings.
Our own Matt Laws drives in from Elizabethton and Roan Mountain each morning and he shared that this morning was the foggiest he’s seen it yet this month. However, every mountain community within our coverage area was crystal clear, blue sky this morning.
It appears that we’re in for a nice stretch of amazing weather for the next several days. Between now and the end of the weekend I’ll probably be running short of superlatives and adjectives that I could use to describe the awesome beauty of these mountains.
That’s a good thing as we’ve certainly had more than our share of rain lately. About the only down side to the super-sweet weather ahead is that it might mean no fogs for that same period. We’ll see…and report.
Here are some shares from this morning:
