They're not kidding. It just started to hammer down here. Over an inch and counting.

Interesting setup today. There was accumulating snow (dusting to half inch) south of downtown near Reynolds and Biltmore but nothing stuck in West Asheville or downtown. Guess it was how the bands setup

Tomorrow I'm going with my dad to Banner Elk to look at some property, snow should be lighter then but hope to see quite a bit on the ground.

After a skiff of snow this morning in Boone, had very light snow start around 12:30 that did not accumulate. Around 5:50 got some decent snow for about 30 minutes that turned the ground white but not even an inch. Hoping for a miracle tonight, maybe we can hit 2” for the first time all winter. Can’t believe how poorly we’ve performed this winter specifically in Boone.
