As we go to press with this newsletter, Swannanoa is still digging out from a winter storm that dumped anywhere from 7 to 17 inches of snow on the Valley, with the greatest accumulations to the east and at higher elevations. Although the storm didn’t pack quite the punch that the forecasters predicted, it was still enough snow to cause major headaches for some. But despite the negatives, it sure is beautiful, and it provided Swannanoa residents with lots of opportunities for fun in the snow. We asked folks to share snowman pictures on the FANS Facebook page ~ here are some of our favorites.
