To be fair to Met, the mountains have had a few decent snow events during those years.

January 2022 not come close? It did for us.

It's heartbreaking to see our beloved mountains in the shape they are. But we will prevail! I hope everyone on this forum is safe and has what they need. If you do no not, do not hesitate to reach out!

No offense taken, I get that's your relationship to the mountains of NC but what's funny to me is the High Country feels less mountainous than the areas you don't associate with the mountains. Yes, you're higher elevation but there's more waterfalls, rocky terrain and overall mountainous features in the Southern Mountains of the Pisgah/Nantahala and Smoky Mountain regions.

I just got one question Met: Why are we posting foliage pics in the Spring/Summer thread?! Somebody has to fire up the Fall/Winter thread and if there is any hope for a decent winter in WNC, it can't be me.

Shew! Not liking the trends for Helene's impacts on WNC. Going to be a tense few days.

I am relishing in the present because I know the near future holds 90°.

Saw this on Saturday from the Ingles in Mills River looking back towards Edneyville. This is the Poplar Fire up on Green Mountain that is now up to nearly 500acres. Hopefully we'll get some rain this week.

Yep. Add to that 10-20 mph winds with higher gusts. Going to be downright chilly!

Looks very nice. Wind chills shouldn't leave the 50's the entire weekend. Low temps, low DP's, cool breeze, can't wait!

Have at it! I am burning some sage trying to resolve my bad juju from last year.

It’s October 1st, who’s firing up the Fall/Winter thread? Can’t be me!

WLOS tryin' to get the juices flowing around here. https://wlos.com/news/local/noaa-predicts-el-nio-to-bring-increased-snowfall-to-western-carolinas-this-winter?fbclid=IwAR0S1czHOl8ohB7VkqAPQKI22jFZayiVgQLBkxtQKGIjaIr_NdUJF1eyOrY

You aren’t kidding! Need some different mojo this year!
