I hate the warm start, but the cold is supposed to get in here. Sooner rather than later I hope.

SREF was back up to 3.5 at KAVL.

I may be the only one who thinks this, but did we really need the rain? We were only .31 below normal at the airport for May. We are 8 inches above normal for the year. We have had a 100 inches of rain in the last year in a half. People around here were acting like we were in the Oklahoma dust bowl. I am sick of rain. The ground water table has to be maxed out. We had many years with half the rain we have had, and seemed to do fine. We are getting ready to flood, YET AGAIN. Is the new norm that we have to flood before we have had enough rain? I am just speaking of WNC. Other areas may need the rain. A brown yard does not mean we need the rain in my opinion. Any farmers should be prepared for drier spells. Something doesn't add up to me. We should be fine on rain for a couple of months one would think. Not saying I am not wrong. That is just the way that it seems to me.

Okay. I wouldn't punch someone, but I will shake my head disapprovingly.

I am so sick of rain. I know we need it, but I have had enough. If I run in to one of those, "we need the rain" people, I will punch them in the face.

I guess winter decided that any snow in December is all that we deserve until next winter in Asheville. It is amazing how much rain we have had, and how many storms that stay SE of us when there is any cold weather to speak. Don't get me wrong. I hope Simpsonville, Charlotte, Greenville get dumped on. They deserve it !!! I just can't believe how we have been shut out since December. Of course, I guess Franklin has had it even worse than us in Asheville this year? Maybe we will get a surprise NW trend. That never works out when we need it.

Funny you post that Sn Lover. I was looking at Sierra at Tahoe and the summit has had 444 inches of snow this season. I am sure there are higher totals, but that is a big number.

Agreed!! That is really cool, especially in contrast with the ocean.

A super fun 33 and rain here !!! If only it was windy.... A man can dream.

That would be January 1977. We missed most of the month of school in Buncombe County.

Ha!Ha! Yeah, a grudge against snow. Showing my intelligence. Thanks!!!

Thank you Jeremy! Same to you.

Nice! That would be incredible. Took us a while, but we have switched over to snow.

My wife can tell you that I ALWAYS know when I am being a baby,lol.

Lol. I said it. I should clarify. I am ready for spring if it is going to skip over my city and snow everywhere but here. If that be the case, come on spring. But, your point is still valid.

Ha! That's the truth.

How come North Dakota doesn't get too cold for snow....... Snow. Widespread blowing snow. Low around -9. Wind chill values as low as -35. Windy, with a north northwest wind 28 to 31 mph, with gusts as high as 41 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible

Too cold to snow here, just here, lol. Jim Cantore 1 hr · I’m sure it’s more often than I think, but how often do we see (outside the mountains) synoptic scale snow with below zero temps? Several observations from ND, SD, IA and MN have this. Obviously very high snow:liquid ratios
