BooneWX Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Not all is lost. At this pace, we will be back on the golf course in just a few weeks and I'll quickly forget this let down of a winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nchighcountrywx Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Averyweather Photo of the Day The App Trail over Big Yellow, Big Hump, Little Hump and over to Roan Mountain has some if not the best views on the entire App Trail, overlooking the Southern Appalachian Conservancy lands. This area is my favorite back country adventure. Photo for February 13, 2017 Thanks to Nick Younts for this photo of the Over Mountain Shelter from Little Hump Mountain along the Appalachian Trail. Taken 1/28/17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we still need rainfall. I'm not sure this is good or not. I just hope we don't enter into another prolonged period without rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 It's 47.3° at midnight on Feb. 23. This has been one of the most bazaar winters that I've been through in 55 years. If you like extreme weather, this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter can still redeem itself but that's a big if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
