Of course, I don't think anybody wants anything that produces damage and causes problems for everyone. I spent weeks cleaning up from Helene. I know I have had enough catastrophe. But, if it could wiggle into some snow for me, I would take it. But, none of us have any control over what happens. What happens happens.

I doubt it. I think everyone is hoping for a better solution, enjoying any positive trends, but realistic that it probably won't happen. Always hoping for the miracle, lol.

Icon sagging South for next week .

Better sit down for this news. It's rain now.

Alrighty, now THIS is the one!!! Just 12 days away.

GFS is a Met1985 special.

Lol. I don't think we are done with snow and ice events. I have no idea what they are saying.

GSP in their long range discussion this AM.... Kind of an odd thing to say. "The pattern makes one wonder if we are done with Winter."

That one sticks in my head too. We had powder snow on top. Pines cracking sounded like shotgun blasts.

You're welcome. No, you really have the best approach right. No need to get excited until your tires are spinning in the driveway.

This pops up all the time. Yes, Asheville is in a valley. Yes, it gets downsloped. Yes, it can get less snow at times because of this factors. Yes, it generally doesn't do as well in NW flow snow. Yes, surrounding mountain locations can and do get more snow. Yes, this particular season, it has snowed more in Greensboro, Wilmington, etc. Yes, we get screwed more than our fair share. But, we are not Columbia, SC. We have just had bad luck lately and are in a snow drought. Compare the data below with any non mountain city in the state and see if you can find a city that is close to these numbers. Snow climate has changed everywhere recently, not just in Asheville. 2022 was the last big snow here. It ranked 18th in recorded Asheville snowstorms. 18 10.4 15-Jan 17-Jan 2022 Asheville has 21 snow events that exceeded 10 inches. 7 of these have been 2010 and beyond. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.weather.gov/media/gsp/Climate/AVL/newAVLheaviestsnows.pdf Asheville has had 71 seasons, dating back to 1869 that have been double digit seasons or more. 28 of these have been 20 inch seasons or more. 7 have been 30 inch seasons or more. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.weather.gov/media/gsp/Climate/AVL/newAVLmonthlySNobs_htm.pdf Asheville seasonal snowfall average is greater than anywhere else in the state with the exception of higher Central Mountain locations and the Northern mountains. (these averages are most likely high because of the snow drought. I'm sure they have dropped, but the point remains the same)

It's your thread too Don!! You are always one of us!!!!

Looks like snowballs falling from the sky!

I hadn't even looked until I saw this. Definitely light snow falling !!

You should look harder! I'm sure there is some tweaking. Snow... not yet.
