A lot to do and plenty of snow Cost of living much cheaper all around and yes, plenty of snow especially if you're coming from the south. Winter lingers well into April and sometimes May and that can be a rough stretch after 6 months of snow otg. 70 inches of snow here season to date with a peak depth so far of 27". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja643y Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Hey all, up in the Spruce Pine area. Frequent here a few times a year, but normally in the warmer months. Does anyone know how this area does with snow? Not really knowledgeable, just AmericanWX learned. Trying to figure out if I've got a shot to have the kids see snow Sunday night. Also, I'll check back to see your feedback on tonight's line. Could be interesting and I figure I'll get it about 30 minutes or so after some of the people posting tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see some snow if the synoptics works out that way. That's a decent spot for sure but as of right now we will see how this ends up.
