I'm not sure if the snowfall totals include sleet and ice or not. It'd be higher if it did I would imagine. We always get some sleet and ice (lower elevations here anyway, but up there too of course) starting out before the snow unless it's just really cold. Last year, went to Chimney Rock on a Saturday in March, temperature up in the 70's, felt great, cold front came through overnight and snowed three inches on Sunday! Few years back in April, got into the 90's and the hottest it got for the whole year. Next week got a few inches of snow. Crazy weather down here! End up with a nice inch layer of ice, another inch of sleet, and then a few inches of snow on top, making for an interesting experience driving. That's something that "Yankees" don't realize when they get down here and start bragging about driving in the snow (no offense to anyone in the north, but I hear this all the time [(-D][;)]). There's always a nice sheet of ice on the road they can't see, and it doesn't matter what tires, chains, or 4x4 you have when you get on some ice. Not to mention the numerous curves, hills and mountains around here.
