This winter for me has been 10 times better than the past several. No doubt, I know the winter we moved up they had the big December storm (I think the neighbors said 16" for us)and then we had one or two minor events after we moved in come February but that was it. Last year was blah, still better than any winter in Charlotte but only 10-12" for the season. We were at 14" before this storm, felt like winter all season, got to hunt in the snow a couple times, some decent cold snaps, etc. Gonna be a wild ride from here to the end of April! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow acts like a natural sound buffer and everything is still and quiet when its snowing. That’s one of my favorite things about snow. It’s like the absence of sound. Nice for a migraine, too. I hope you feel better soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'm about to throw in the towel here, radar isn't improving, rates can't make it up here and by the time it does it will be about over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncjoaquin Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Got about a 1/4 inch here and I bet I am still the big winner in Buncombe County. I had about 20 minutes of pretty good snow , then just light not very accumulating snow. Still waiting on better rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It backed off to light snow for last the 20 minutes. Looks to be maybe a light inch here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw NC weather Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Right around an inch here so far. Maybe we can get some better rates with the stuff in northeast GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baconwfu Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Very near Grove park Inn in AVL and basically nothing on the ground. Pretty sure my temp concerns are bearing out. Weve had some pretty decent snow rates in theblast 2 hours but nothing stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
