[quote]QUOTE: I am fascinated by the western North Carolina region and have classified two cities that I would like to live at...Flagstaff, Az or Asheville NC. I find both of them similar in size, weather, and geography.[/quote] <br /> <br />The altitude in Asheville (mainly within the city, the topography varies greatly) averages around 2,100'-2,500.' Of course you have elevations within Buncombe County over 4,000' and 5,000' and nearby Mt. Mitchell in Yancey County at 6,684' being the highest peak east of the Rockies. Farther down my way you get to the 1,000'-1,500' range (foothills) with peaks over 3,000'. Average annual rainfall for Asheville is 49.97" and snowfall is 14.9." Last year we had 92.59" of rain in Tryon though! Flagstaff averages 22.8" of rain and 110.8" of snow yearly.
