Unfortunately our tickets are non-refundable. We stand to lose $500 if we don't show. So not going is really not a good option not to mention this is my winter vacation.
Biltmore will absolutely give you different tickets in a case like this. But you do you. Have fun being stuck and don’t say we didn’t warn you.
You are correct. I called them up and due to the storm they changed their policy. I should have said hotel reservations. They gave us a full refund on the non-refundable price and we were able to change our Candle light tour tickets to Wednesday night. Very good customer service there. Their hotels prices had doubled from what we had originally paid but we are gonna stay in town instead. All your warnings had me double thinking our plan. Thanks.
I hope yall enjoy your snow. Nothing but rain here unfortunately.
As long as we don't lose power. It can get pretty darned cold in the house quickly. Otherwise I enjoy looking AT the snow, but no way do I want to be IN it.
At the moment, here in Etowah snow is falling but is not sticking to the ground.

Do you have gas logs QC? The ones I have put out enough heat when power goes off. Don't know about you but here in the woods power does out 4-5 times a year for snow or ice or thunderstorms or fallen trees...
What are you all doing today? Just made and had some potato soup, watching White Christmas on tv with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye...never seen it.

We just got home from our round trip to Statesville. A much nicer drive today than it was exactly one year ago!
We didn't see any snow until we crossed into Haywood County and then it was very light and wet. Once we started climbing out mountain, we ran into heavier snow and once we hit 4000 feet, it was sticking well to the road. It's snowing steadily and we have about 1/2" at this point.
It was cold in the house when we got home (we set our heat at 64 degrees all winter long) so we have our gas logs going up here and our wall propane heater going in our finished basement. Our propane company made a delivery up on our mountain to all their customers earlier in the week, so we are set, even if we lose power because we have a whole house generator. We just don't have water, but I've already filled the tub and we have bottled water to drink. I do have a gallon of water for the dogs on the counter, it's been there since Matthew was forecasted to come through here. I'll just melt snow for them if we do lose power.
Good luck everyone. This is going to be quite the storm!
Here is south Hendersonville snow is falling, straight down, no wind, no accumulation and as the ground and roads are relatively warm it'll be a while before that happens. Still, it's pretty looking out over the meadow...
Our son, DIL and granddaughter are here from WA and other son from CO and they are all looking forward to this snow - first for just turned one granddaughter - but they want it cleared enough by Tues when they all fly out! No generator or wood stove but a super insulated house that holds temp extremely well and we live in an area that doesn't seem to have power difficulties so fingers crossed. Well stocked with food, camp stove and fuel, grill and propane, buckets stationed near the toilets.....flashlights all have fresh batteries and we have lots of down quilts. And wine. And beer. And just picked up a bottle of Blanton's yesterday so bring it on!!!

Glad you got home before all the snow.
I have my gas logs going too, on low. That's my only heat source without power but they put out a lot of heat, even back to the bedrooms. Gas co. just here last week...
Started filling the tub then walked out and forgot it. but luckily the overflow caught it, no clean up needed.

Yes, you sound ready! Funny... they come here and get snow!
That will be fun for all when the one year old gets to see it for the first time.
My cats went out VERY briefly and headed right back inside. Now they are cosy on their heated throw...
Very pretty pics...
