  1. Glad someone's memory is better than mine; went back and looked at photos and you look to be correct for 2021; appears to have exceeded 2 inches. My photographic record doesn't indicate much for 2021. Temp bottomed out around 13 F here as well. January 16, 2022:
  2. Yes, as a valley dweller in Asheville, weather wise I think I have more in common with the foothills folks than the high elevation mountain folks getting snow regularly. However, that doesn't bother me and I enjoy seeing the snow photos. The big snow for me this year was less than an inch. My memory is way short of perfect, I think, could be wrong, the last time I had more than 2 inches in any one event was 2019 and even then totals were cut due to transition to sleet.
  3. Of course the poster formerly known as AshevilleDon is always welcome here and thanks for sharing, great photos!
  4. Ha, I was at NCSU as well. Some friends and I walked down to Reynolds Coliseum to gawk at people camping out for NCSU vs Duke basketball tickets that evening.. Chancellor Bruce Poulton got nervous they would die and later let them camp inside Reynolds.
  5. I remember that one quite well. A buddy of mine was at App State at the time, he put on all the winter clothes he had and hiked up to the fire tower above Boone. Took his camera, film camera, and it froze. Raleigh, NC had its all time low of -9 F during that event.
  6. Wow, barely a dusting on the east side, roads totally fine.
  7. Well that has more logic to it than many others
  8. The winter of 2009-2010 was epic. Have not looked at the data but I think that winter was the last time temperatures were as persistently below average as this winter.
  9. Congrats, I estimate less than an inch here on the east side, had some sleet in the late afternoon. Less to shovel off the driveway, so that's a win
  10. The dreaded warm nose, don't be sticking your nose into this storm
  11. Not good; hope the power comes back quickly. A toasty 16 F IMBY this morning.
  12. I replenished my water supply at a World Central Kitchen truck yesterday and very much appreciated it. For anyone interested, the article linked below is a very good summary of the situation with the Asheville North Fork water supply system: https://avlwatchdog.org/city-starting-to-repressurize-water-system-in-eastern-buncombe-but-full-systemwide-restoration-could-still-take-weeks/
  13. Nobody in WNC gives a crap about conspiracy theories or politics right now, it's about helping each other.
  14. Fortunately we came thru with just a fallen tree that missed everything but a fence and minor basement flooding. Cell service just starting to come back in Asheville, so first internet access since Friday. Hoping everyone is safe.
  15. Still have cellular internet but I live a few hundred yards from a cell tower.
  16. Trees coming down around here in Asheville.
