Awesome pics. I have only once in my life seen snow over 10". Back in 1993 we had a freak blizzard in the south (worked it's way up the northeast). We had 20" locally (Mentone area, on the other mountain, Lookout). I will never forget it. Around here Ice storms are worse than snow most of the time. The Sand Mountain regions probable receive about the same amount in March 1993.

It was an heavy wet snow and did not shovel very easily. Looking at your pictures, I notice how white the snow remains even after being moved. Unfortunately snow looks nasty here when shoveled, but it does melt fast.

I still have an old sled my uncle gave me as a child. It hangs in the shed and hopefully one year soon my two boys will have the pleasure of getting to sled. Me and the wife went sledding a few years ago (no kids) and I have to admit, it now hurts to wreck and those little jumps kill the rib cage areas when you land. Time to pass the sled to more vibrant kiddos. LOL...

The one in 93, in upper east Tenn, we got 20 plus; and was the only time I ever saw thunder snow. The sky lit up green; and I got my butt inside. Did not know but what the snow might conduct the chage to my head!!
