The wildflowers were out but different. In March, many white and yellow flowers - Dutchman's Britches, Celadine Poppy, Trout Lily. But in April, the flowers of blue and purple were out, but only a few trillium.
Here's some photos from March.
Some volatile spring weather... was 80º yesterday, slight possibility of snow tonight with a low in the 30ºs. Back up to near 80º again by Monday!
UPDATE:
The morning of April 20 was unusual. A cold pocket of air settled in around the S. Cumberland. It was colder here than anywhere in the state, (excluding the high peaks of the Smokies). It got down to 35º and by 5am, a few wet snowflakes were seen. The high for the day was only 41º with rain most of the day. Bright green hues on a dark cold foggy spring day:
Update: After a winter-like weekend where on Saturday 4/20, the temperature only reached 41º, Monday and the rest of the week looks and feel like summer:
