2. Snow please,

It’s a rare event here in WNC the last decade. I am passionate about Cross Country Skiing on the parkway, have been since I moved here after the Navy in 78. I bought some amazing new skis and boots about 8 or so years ago. Never have had a chance to use them. The boots may rot or “I” may, if I can’t get a good snow soon. I would be happy if it just covered the Parkway and not offend snow haters. The blizzard of 93 was the time of my life. Over a month of snow on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Nearly killed my good friend up to Waterrock Knob
For his first ever ski attempt. 6 feet of new snow, had to break new tracks, 20 degree temps, down to 11 at the summit at sunset, ski back down in a Full moon. He lived, never to ski again.
Please be the year 2024. At least one more before I decompose.
