Snowfall

 


It has begun. We're expecting, according to the weather service, somewhere between 2 inches and a foot of snow. Given how unpredictable the weather is in these mountains, I believe that delta is the best they can do. I spent the morning putting chains on trucks to get ready for possible emergency operations, but I hope to spend the weekend not going anywhere. Snow is a rare treat even in the mountains of the Southern Appalachians, so I hope that we will get to enjoy it. 


UPDATE: The snowfall accumulation wasn’t even two inches as it turned out. Quiet day though. People had the sense to take it seriously given how little infrastructure we have for dealing with snow and ice.

We're expecting two to four inches 50 miles south of you. Right now, it's two inches and still snowing pretty good.

I think it's been about three years since our last snow.

You all are getting our snow. We got 1/8" last night--so far this January. The farmers will need a bit more than that.

I assure you that I didn't take it on purpose. Hopefully they'll get what they need. It's a long winter yet.
