WilkesboroDude Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 lol, road temps is probably reason they haven't Your probably right. I live on a side road, and they are wet and crunchy. But I don't know about the entire county...I know some spots near the Brushy Mountains would likely hold on to this sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 i just made the quite interesting drive from Asheville to Marion. It was 90% rain in most of Buncombe county including the mountain at 3,000 feeet, but as soon as i came down the Eastern excarpment down into Old Fort, it was 90% sleet and a little wet snow and rain. The roads are a little slick. Very interesting the weather is worse down here at 1,300 feet than up at 3,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
