Heavy Snowfall hangs Around
Five days after the heavy snow, nothing had melted. Venturing out for the first time, the area along the Rutherford-McDowell County line was in a state of suspended animation.
A week later, even with a bright Sun overhead, the snow refused to go away…
Even after two weeks, snow is still everywhere in the shade and on the northwest sides of the mountain ridges. Ski resorts have been super busy, making loads of powder, with nightly temps in the single digits. Even at my lower elevation, it was 12 degrees yesterday morning.

The pictures are very beautiful. But we are amused you think this is heavy snow!
Wow — wish you could send us some of that snow and precipitation. We are still way below safe levels of precipitation, and are having several days of dry high winds. At elast we had some precip in the past couple of weeks, and the “grass” (weeds) are green, not dead brown.
