Definitely a tough 'local' forecast, as I had to give guidance for guests here on whether to stay overnight last night and then risk driving down twisty icy roads this morning (for an early morning drive to ATL), or just get a hotel down Asheville for an easier/safer start.....they elected to get the hotel.  Forecast verfication - Temperatures got down to 30F at top of Bearwallow Mtn, just 700 ft above me, so there was definitely freezing rain/ice up there, and it still 32F there at the moment. However we managed to bottom out at just 33F here at the Thunder Mountain Compound, and so it is just wet and foggy outside....

I definitely get that. I know a lot haven't been as fortunate as some of us in the mountains.  Just waiting and watching. 

The mountains aren't exactly running above average most of the past 6 or 7 years either. Without NW flow snow its been pretty poor everywhere.

That's simply not true. I've averaged over 8 inches every year for the last 6 years and have even seen a couple of years over 25 inches. I bet Buckethead has been above average as well.

Most of us have seen. Close to or above average though.  Sure we are near the border but it counts as well. Honestly the Asheville airport is in a shitty place. That's literally Fletcher or Mills River in a dang valley. Might as well call that Hendersonville.
