A bit different antecedent moisture conditions now than before the last tropical system that came this way to say the least. Scary dry IMBY, definitely want the rain but not the wind.

Cycled up Mt Mitchell the last day of September; a few shots of the fall color; one enhanced a bit by the morning sun: (maybe a quarter inch of rain; will be bone dry again around here in a few days)

Please, please do not let this fizzle and dry up; rain dance time

Definitely need more rain; East Asheville has had next to nothing out of the latest storms; still effectively bone dry.

Have fun at the lake hope the storms miss down your way.

Wind is blowing and rain dumping in Asheville at the moment.

It was a beautiful morning; went cycling up the Parkway this AM:

Wow, hope everything is OK. Storms rolled in here in Asheville with some strong winds but not as bad as what hit you.

The cool down from the storm was fantastic, made our evening grilling a bit late but much more pleasant.

Had to put this forecast up for Asheville:

Wow, nice rain events within days of each other, feel like we won the lottery

Thanks for linking that. I remember Gary at WLOS and just found out the other day he was now at Spectrum News. I was in Raleigh at the time of the storm but recall local news reports about it. Had a good sledding snow in Raleigh earlier that winter. The Concorde that was snow delayed in Asheville also flew into Raleigh. There is a YouTube video documenting the Concorde in Asheville: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DHwXblu3JGo&pp=ygUcQ29uY29yZCBmbGV3IGluIEFzaGV2aWxsZSBOQw%3D%3D

I'll go with B as well; did eke out one decent snow which is a win in these parts.

Sounds worse there, think it has stayed below 50 mph IMBY, KAVL has maxed at 48 so far. Good luck with the power.

Bicycled up the Parkway a couple of hours ago and was getting graupel in the Craven and Ox Creek gap area. Nothing but some sprinkles down in the valley, still 44 F IMBY.
