Well, the snow is upon us! Looks like we already have 8" or so.
Being native of the Midwest, this type of snow doesn't intimidate us, but I will be the first to admit that snow in the mountains in a city not equipped to salt/clear all the road is very different than snow in the flat, prepared Midwest.
I went to school at Western. Trying to get in and out of Cullowhee/Sylva and Asheville when snowing was ridiculous due to the lack of resources. My brother who's also at WCU participated in the Parade of Rose's last week. The trucks carrying the band equipment was scheduled to leave for California the day after Christmas with all the snow. It took an act of God and several dedicated DOT workers to get them out of Cullowhee and onto 40. You'd think being in the mountains they'd be more prepared.

This is really only fun when you don't have to go to work. Looks pretty, though!
