Isn't it amazing.  Have close to a foot on the ground from both snows.

It sure is - and it’s still snowing. I think sugar has reported 15” since I’ve been here (and that doesn’t count what’s been falling this morning)

Even though things are starting to slack off a little I just had a squall that was as heavy as I've seen this year. It only lasted 10 minutes or so but had to lay down over a half inch. This has been a decent event. 

Shouts to griteater for the heads up!

5-6 inches estimated on Seven Mile ridge (East Yancey County)

IMO I think this was the last event before October...but I've been wrong...remember it snowed on Earth Day in 2000...was cleaning a creek while it was snowing...great event...but I am ready for spring and getting the garden going...good luck everyone and I'm signing off...until the next time gentlemen :)

Anybody in the Boone area know where Ray gets his official measurements from? These numbers from this week are really low when compared to a lot of other reports from Boone. If he is using the airport, I totally understand why this is the case (further east). I feel like the measurement for Wednesday is a solid 2, to as much as 4 inches lower than what most areas around the city limits were reporting.

thats a darn good question.  my first thought was cocorahs, but it doesn't seem to match up to any boone cocorahs stations that i checked.  I always assumed the beech mountain one was freds, but not sure.

It doesn't make any sense to me at all. I live in the city limits and had 4 inches by 9:00 am on Wednesday. Finished with 7.5. I can't understand how someone only measured 4 at 1 pm, unless they were further east of Boone.

Do you guys know if this data is available from all of his stations?  All I get for the one here in wolf is a blank page.

the only snow reports i see (almanac - snow totals) are beech, boone, asheville, sugar, and warrensville).  I suppose someone could ask on his facebook page, but i suspect that data is proprietary.
