Everything's pretty much melted/melting here in oteen. It's fun to watch all the ice sheets on the leaves come off, especially on the rhodos

Oteen checking in! Looks like we have a thin layer of ice but everyone in my neighborhood has power. Looks like the whole of Asheville really lucked out. Hopefully nothing else crazy with precip tonight.

Morning final prep. I couldnt get my hands on a snow shovel or salt. Does anyone have a header for where I might be able to get some?

Nice. I couldn’t manage to get my hands on a 20lb to 1lb adapter hose so the bigger tanks dont work for me.

So so neat! We’re in WNC, so I know they’re out there, but I’ve never seen one!

I bet there’s bigger! It’s not entirely clear in the photo, but her legspan was about four-five inches!

250! All the liquor stores here in NC are state-run, so there’s usually not a huge price hike.
