Couldn't chase Sat night because of family obligations, so we left out of GA on Sunday morning, and headed up through Clayton toward Asheville. In hindsight probably should have gone up 85 and then to Asheville and maybe could have seen some falling before lunch. So we were between the front end and back end, and had to get back Sunday night. Saw snow on the ground soon as I crossed the county line out of Lumpkin co. Waynesville was lot of snow, and Asheville was beautiful. We walked all around and even found a place open to eat pizza, so not too bad. Even though nothing falling from the sky, decided to go home via Hendersonville and I 85 cause had seen they got hit pretty hard . (didn't have time to head toward Beech/Boone). Stopped at Ingles in H-ville and the snow piles were crazy. Kids got to play in the fresh snow there and sled a bit. They all said it was the deepest they'd ever walked in, so that was good. it was like cement. I would have loved to see that come down. I am about to write a break up letter to snow, cause seems i just can not re-create that 18 inches i experienced in the second grade. But its my fault, not the snow. One day, One day, I am going to get in a two footer. I may have to retire first. But I did just want to say congrats to all in this thread, cause I enjoy following and reading all winter long, and am happy that I think most of you got a widespread hammering. Here's to hoping for more of the same as we get into the heart of winter. One thing I really enjoyed was watching this thing modeled way out on the FV3, and not really believing it, and wondering if this new model was just crazy, or this was just good timing for it to make its winter debut.
