(click pic to enlarge)Took this picturesque view about 30 miles west of Asheville last weekend...some of you may know of Lake Junaluska (Methodist retreat), which is the lake in the foreground. Today, it's pretty white and snowy, with 50 mph wind gusts as many locations above 3,000 feet in elevation stand to rack up 6-10" of snow.
Yesterday's rains fell hard when they did, but the lateral storm speed was such that most major cities picked up 0.4" to 0.6" of rain - since beggars can't be choosers, we'll take it. What flurries and snow showers make it out of the mountains down into the NW portion of the Triad will be only trace amounts - just Nature's way of saying the Winter Opera's fat lady hasn't finished singing, yet.
Nice looking weekend ahead, though - sunny and seasonable, hedging to slightly above the average high/low of 55/33 in the Triad. Good skiing conditions up in them thar' hills, too, for slope-savvy individuals.
AVOID THIS IF YOU DO GO SKIING....

The skiing video was so funny! Did you notice what the shape looked like after the skier went in to the snow? It looked like the shape of a dog. Good one, Bob.
Good eyes! The outline really did look like a dog!
