It's 29 here but seems to have stopped rising. Don't think we crack freezing

Only 18 here. Wind kept going all night. Cold but not frigid.

20 or so years ago when I was a teenager trout fishing was so much better and places like the Upper Wilson Creek tributaries were somewhat secluded. I would catch huge native brookies (which is like 10 inches) Now it's a shitshow up there in the spring. Same with South Toe and other places. The road being washed out helped a little up there. Covid really brought the people to places I never expected to see full. Now it's almost always full.

Chasing native brookies. Something that's getting harder and harder these days.

I'm a little disappointed we haven't had better rates since the heavy band earlier. A lot has melted and the sun has been out for the majority of the afternoon. Still grateful to see snow!

Right at an inch here. Slackened off but I hope that band thats hitting Met makes it here

Side roads starting to get covered in west asheville

Beautiful snow in Asheville. Good dusting already

Few flurries in West Asheville. Hope to see a dusting while at work today

uhm.. yay?

Thank goodness they treated roads here. They are all covered in ice

And Eli Manning is staring at him from the other sideline.

We are about the break the longest streak ever for no snow and the long range looks like a disaster. What makes you optimistic?

These streaks are in serious jeopardy

Things look bleak. Think it's about time to take a break

The ensembles scream that winter is basically done.

Sky is an unbelievable blue today

I'm afraid this upcoming warm pattern is going to last into February.

9 here this morning

Was 18 when I left Asheville. 23.6 at the house

Used to be Yancey County but now its taken over by developments.

It's going to be colder Saturday than today or tomorrow

Big upslope potential Friday. @Bucketheadyou got a couch I can crash on?

Euro tries to lay some snow down north of Raleigh Friday

I have done a lot of research on this (probably not as much as GaWx) but snow is very cyclical for most of the south. At my location, it's extremely common to have 2 or 3 snowless winters in a row before having 2 or 3 winters with snow. 2011-12 and 2012-13 were both meager with only a dusting of snow, sleet and ice here. 2006-07 and 2007-08 and 2008-09 were all pretty lousy with only one or 2 small events here. While 2009-10 and 2010-11, and 2013-14 and 2014-15 had multiple snows here. It's been rare to have a blockbuster winter then a shutout the following winter and many winters were saved by 1 storm (1992-93, 2015-16, 2018-19, 2021-22) With all of that being said, I almost expected this winter to be poor because of the cyclical nature of things. Next winter could be as well to finish the cycle.
