Live the Dream STAT - Winter remains stingy

6.3 - Inches of snow recorded on Grandfather Mountain so far this winter. That is almost 18 inches below the average for this point in the season.

Highs drifted primarily in the 40s and 50s for most of month. But that didn't stop the local ski resorts from packing on as much of a base as possible, or skiers from coming out to take advantage of it.
Colder weather is expected to sneak into the High Country later this month.
