Frits, that's way above my pay grade, but the forecast discussion only mentioned that some snow showers could break containment to the NW piedmont. They also mentioned Swain and Haywood above 3500 but nothing about Asheville and the French Broad river valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, we have all of February and most of it looks like a good chance for something to happen. Winter is by no means over. Edit* February and March.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I noticed the same thing. We went to dinner and they were spraying everything. I think the DOT guys haven't had much to do this winter and they want to burn some inventory. Not going to be much, but with this winter I'll take. I'm more of a snow guy than a cold.

FlatLander48 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 According to the weather app on my phone, I'm supposed to see snow showers from 6-7 pm then cloudy for the rest of the evening. I know automated forecasts like that have no human input, but you would think people would try to change that at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
