Sorry Asheville guys, I see what you have been upset about. Really a different world as close as up here in Weaverville. I was at work today but a glance at the temp & humidity on the weather station told a story of cloudy with off and on flurries. Never made it above 36° today. From noon to 3 I had a humidity spike into the upper 70% range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From noon to 3 I had a humidity spike into the upper 70% range. I work downtown and we had the occasional flurry yesterday, but the sun was out almost all day. But my view to the north was cloudy, very typical NWFS event. I may need to drive north or west tomorrow to see a little bit of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhowl Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 A few flurries with the sun occasionally trying to peak out in East Asheville. I think at best we get a dusting here tonight and tomorrow. PS Kilgor, awesome avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
