Fore!

What happened to all of the drought enthusiasts? I’m not sure how much more rain I can take.

Gotta be able to smell the rain to get the best rates

Me and the wife like to go to Nick's Pub have a few drinks and watch it snow. Pretty sad up here this year so far. Haven't even had an advisory level NW flow yet. Hopefully by mid January that will change.

It’ll come. That’s the fun thing about being up there. It’s a good elevation and it can put down some serious snow while everyone else rains. Different world up there.

I’m picking up what you’re putting down. Sometimes we’re all guilty of asking for a little too much.

I mean I'm as guilty as anyone wanting that but in our region it's just not that realistic. What is far more realistic is getting those short spurts that are cold and snowy that if we are lucky cycle around more than once in a winter or if we are super lucky do stick around for 30-45 days.

On a happier note me and the wife are expecting our 2nd child!!!! She told me yesterday after work im super excited!

Surprised at their being no system snow, even more shocked at the lack of NW flow snow. After all, they average 30 plus inches annually.

A flip even towards neutral SE temps will do wonders for the high country.

Most definitely a different world. Avery County is a world in itself.

I’ve had many rides up that mountain where it was sunny at the bottom and pounding snow when you round the top. Was there for a good NW flow event in 2012’ish. 6-8+ with barely a dusting when we went to eat at the Daniel Boon Inn that night.

Fond memories there with my family as a kid. Haven’t been in quite a while but I know it used to be good.

Went there last year while we stayed in Blowing Rock. Loved it, great food and PLENTY of it for even the biggest appetites in the world.

May have asked before, do you consider Newland a good place to live, and experience snowfall?
