kvegas-wx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I know I am two hours east of the action, but just walked the dog and I swear you can hear the wind overhead. And any down draft just smells like snow. So close! May have to head to the hills tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Guys I just got back from a venture out side (wife had to go put her horse up.....grrr!) & I tell you what it might not meet the true criteria for blizzard conditions but it is damn close in N Buncombe county tonight! The GSP disco about man & bear last night was very fitting. It was a white knuckle drive for sure. I still think it's a big mistake by GSP not to have us under a WWA but that's thier choice. I'm here to tell you that criteria has been met. Down to 20.4° @ the house with a snotty wind. Took some pics & shot some video that I will post later.
