    Pouring snow again here in north Transylvania, glad to get one last gasp

    Back to small flakes here, but that heavy band got me to 1.5" or so. Would love to squeeze out a few inches, we shall see, but it's looking beautiful out there with what I've got. Been too long!

    Yepper, just went through a heavy band of sleet where I am in Brevard and now a lull. That band is the first I've seen compaction, can see the sleet divets in the snow now. Hoping for the change back!

    Finally measured, sitting at 10.5" in Brevard. For the most part, it's been tiny flakes the entire time, I'm impressed with accumulation. It took a break, but it's been rock steady since I got up at 5.

    Back to mostly snow where I'm at in Brevard, she's trying. A back and forth going on.

    Hardest it has snowed yet here in downtown Brevard. No idea how much is on the ground, been busy cooking a big ol pot of Bolognese in case the power goes out, but we're gonna call this one a success. I do hope we avoid the freezing rain.

    Coors. ....cold as the Rockies.

    I work from home, and it has been a serious challenge getting my assignments in on time this week. I've worn out the refresh button lurking here, always have it open in a different tab. Thanks to everyone as always for your analysis, it's a pleasure to read and learn, and I'm excited for the shindig to start.

    This is a low-hanging fruit answer, but whatever makes the wife happy is probably the safest bet.

    Not feeling great about it for Transylvania, but interesting system, and excited to see how this plays out for everyone. 'Bout time there was something!

    I'm looking forward to it. Have been vegetable gardening for many years, but just got a little hoop house last year, and it's been incredible for seed starting. I'm going to inventory my seeds this weekend, place my orders as needed, and consider germing some greens.

    Hope we dodge the worst of the ice, though I'm a little afraid IMBY. We'll see. Gonna buy a genny one of these days. I feel like we're due for a bad one, whether I want it so or not. also, ^ the horse comment cracked me up. I've always loved horses from afar, but I recently went down a rabbit hole reading how difficult they are are to take care of through the years with various health irregularities, and was a bit astounded.

    Hey y'all, I was wondering if aside from your own gauges, if there was a website or other resource for WNC localities that listed rainfall totals each year? I feel like I always end up playing Google-fu for far too long trying to find it for Pisgah Forest/Brevard, and perhaps it's as easy as NOAA and my search terms are failing me, but alas. Friends who aren't locals are often incredulous that it rains as much as it does here, and I like to have the stats to back it up.

    Certainly the prettiest snow I've seen all year here, I'm happy. Maybe an inch and a half here, haven't measured, haven't cared to yet. Just watchin' it fall.

    There it is, laying it down!
