Perfect sledding weather and snowman making! Smart man! It's a wet, soggy mess here and melting fast. We tried sledding (unsuccessfully), and my boys made a snowman. Snowball fights are intense too. They are full of wet, heavy slushballs that splash on impact. All in all, I love it! Such a nice surprise. Even got upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning around 12:00 PM. HRRR was all over this one, for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Just talked to my brother (4063 elevation) on Bear Mnt outside of Glenville. He’s eyeballing 7-8” of wet paste!. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I got screwed again but at least it snowed some. I have never had a winter with this many 1 to 2 inch events in quick succession. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Woke up with 3.75" on the board. It's still coming down though so I may add a little more to that.Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alchemist Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Ended up with 5.5” down this way, though I think some places to my west (Zirconia, Tuxedo) might have more like 7”... stopped around 2am last night. Currently 37.6 with a light WNW breeze. The great melting has begun. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncjoaquin Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 So, I went on a fast 5 mile snow run(not StrongWxnc ultra marathon fast, but old man fast) I love running through the woods. The snow is at it's deepest, and undisturbed, except by the deer. I have been running in the morning at 22 degrees in the dark, so 36 had me down to t-shirt. A beautiful day !!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing beats running in the snow. I’m sidelined for a Month or I would have drove up to black mountain this weekend for some action on the trails!.

I have never had a winter with this many 1 to 2 inch events in quick succession. Me too, I might have 2 inches, boy these 4-8 and 3-6 inch snow falls just aren't coming thru. I think the 4-8 10 days ago we might have received 1/2 inch. I'm ready for a bonified 6 inch snow and I'll be ready for spring. we need that cold air that was to come in here tomorrow to come in some time this week to have a good chance. Last night it never got going good then we were in a dry slot forever. Our temps are always marginal at best. We need bonified cold without a warm nose to worry about. Sorry,,,,,venting, should have gone to the whining thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Looking back at my seasonal snow totals, I think we were a little spoiled between 2014-2018. We had a big snow (6+) pretty much every year across most of the forum those years. And multiple small events most of those years too. I shouldn't expect a big snow every year here maybe not even every 2 or 3 if I go by history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 My driveway went from ice road truckers to a wet dirt track in a hurry.Not gonna lie, though, glad for a little thaw before the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 It was 36° when I left my house this morning so I wasn't thinking about black ice. Driving down the valley this morning every bridge is covered with ice. Currently rain and 32° at my office. And I only read the long term thread for entertainment purposes...and for whatever griteater and a couple of others have to say.

Yeah hopefully these clouds break soon and we get into the upper 40s promised. Woke up and it was 25, forecasted low was 35. Then had some light freezing rain around 8 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRidgeFolklore Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 About 60 and sunny here at my office in Hendersonville. Got me itching for Spring.

WxKnurd Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Once April 1st rolls around I’m ready for Spring weather to be in full force with the occasional chilly morning. More fishing and playing golf are in order starting then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
