Just measured the accumulation in our yard. @14” now and it’s not supposed to stop til monday. Did I mention we and 20,000+ other Asheville residents are without power? Watching one transformer blow after the other is like one big fireworks show.
We were supposed to head down to Asheville today, but even here in Philly we are snowed in. Looks like we’ll have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to head down, but it’s not looking good for Asheville residents anyway. My partner’s parents were isolated and snowed in without power, cell reception, or water for two days until the snow got deep enough that they just coasted their car down the mountain using the snow as a speed regulator. They are staying at a friend’s house in town now. Infrastructure doesn’t seem to be Asheville’s strong point.
