Yea hard to know how much with the wind blowing everything around but I’d say about an inch here as well if I had to guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Valley Steve Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 I ended up with a half inch of measurable snow, but it took about 4 hours to finally begin to stick. My low was 24 this morning. It's beginning to look like an active pattern with a rather vigorous Eastern Trough persisting into early April. The impact the the stratospheric Polar Vortex collapse in early March is being felt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Getting out and measuring some protected spots maybe have me closer to 1.5” here. Hard to tell because there’s no consistent depth anywhere but more sheltered places had the most consistency. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Wound up with right at an inch and a low of 25 this morning.Marks my first measurable snowfall since 2/20 (just had a half a dusting on 3/6). 21.1" on the season so just a couple inches below average. If we end here I'll call it a win. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted Thursday at 02:31 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:31 PM Ended up getting down to 28 this morning. The fire on Cold mountain has grown to 400 to 500 acres overnight. This is very rugged and steep terrain. Not good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Valley Steve Posted Thursday at 04:22 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 04:22 PM 6 months ago today our Region was experiencing what is likely the most widespread Major Weather Events in generations from Helene. Currently we continue to live with the aftermath of that Historic Event with wildfires burning across our Mountains. Hopefully our very dry and dangerous wildfire conditions will relax next week with a chance of some beneficial rainfall. I hope all of our neighbors are doing well! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoAPPS Posted Thursday at 05:54 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:54 PM Six months ago... This raccoon was one of three who were trapped on an island in the middle of the Helene floodwaters in the River Arts District of Asheville. One by one they worked up the courage to swim for the shore. This one stopped halfway across and rested on a metal pole that was sticking out of the water. This heartbreaking moment reminds me that it wasn't just people who lost everything. I left shortly after taking this picture, because I was worried my presence would stress the raccoon more than it already was. I hope it survived. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted Thursday at 09:24 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:24 PM The smoke here on Long Shoals rd has really thickened up and we have ash falling from the air. The air quality is absolutely horrendous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
