WxKnurd Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The last time I saw snow this heavy and powdery would be while skiing at Stowe, VT and during whiteout conditions at Snowshoe. It just never snows this hard down in the piedmont. Gotta take the dog out, I'll get some video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
