Snow expected this week in Pigeon Forge

[John Underwood]

5" of snow expected Monday in Pigeon Forge and more later in the week.

I know many people on here have vacation rentals in this area.

I'm half tempted to throw my generator and some groceries in the truck and go up to see the snow as the cabin is vacant this week.

I'll at least raise my Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostats back up to normal or better levels to have the house warmer in case power goes out.

Any thoughts from people who own cabins in the area?

So if I didn't need to be somewhere else, I would have definitely gone and been snowed in at my cabin on Cove Mtn for a few days.  Been there done that before and if you are prepared for it, it can be awesome!  But instead, for that cabin specifically I am shutting it down and winterizing until this cold spell is through.  Last year's bad hit on Christmas Eve busted a lot of pipes there including mine.  Cabin was shut down for 3 months after that for reno.  The other cabins which are much lower elevations, I am having cleaners, leave faucets dripping, cabinets under sinks open, and asking guests to do the same as it hits those low temps.
