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.

Where are the freaking gloves LOL

Thank you! Happy for the foothills crew as well! Estimating about 3 inches IMBY and have enjoyed it.

Coming down nicely here as well, guessing between 1 and 2 inches, beautiful out there, I was half expecting to see nothing when I looked out this morning, lol, glad that was not the case.

Ha, over here in the deepest part of the Buncombe snow hole, lol

38 F and patches of blue sky around here.

Thinking about the same IMBY in the valley which is lee in every direction the wind blows ; typically accumulations are lower here but 2 to 3 is better than the barely a dusting which seems to be the norm these days. Although when it comes to ice I love getting next to nothing; took a hike on the mountains-to-sea trail a few days ago and hiked back on the closed Parkway; photo shows all the residual ice

Wishing you the best of luck holding onto the power. I know I am still suffering a bit of PTSD from Helene; and to borrow a term from the movie Spinal Tap; it seems we keep having weather events with something turned up to 11; of course Helene blew up the amp. Very thankful for the powder snow forecast but winds and cold to be cranked up to 11 for this one to follow-up the ice, cold, and wind from last week. Hope everyone stays safe and warm.

It used to snow in Raleigh every winter but that is closing in on a half century and before in the past. Getting moisture and cold air for snow is becoming a near impossibility nowadays.

Not at all convinced there will be enough moisture to amount much IMBY either.

You're not alone with those thoughts. I had the full experience of the blizzard of 93 when I was renting, lol; hiked to friends house right up the middle of Merrimon Ave in Asheville wearing a motorcycle helmet. Now an older and wiser home owner, I don't need to see anything like that again. Let the trees stay upright, keep power on, and have about 4 or 5" of snow to go for a nice walk and I am happy
