(530a TUE update below)
Periods of 'likely' sleet/frzg. rain/snow from supper through midnight, then back to spotty periods of light snow. Temps below freezing, so any liquid stuff freezes. That will be the case through Tuesday, though highs will try to hit 30. Ice is nobody's friend, so travel concerns triple with enough accumulation (and it don't take much, do it?!).
Overnight Tuesday into Wednesday we transition back to one of our wonderful NW snow events with bitterly cold, strong winds. There will be accumulations Wednesday, but simply can't tell if it's the 1-2" variety or something more noisome than that. The way things have been going this winter, I vote for noisome and more than expected. ;-)
After an initial scan, both models keeping ACA in a 1-2" band for tonight's and Wednesday's wrap-around snow flow. The Smokies peaks are in an 8-10" zone, but both models do not paint much snow penetration into the NC side. Our exposed high elevations near 3900' conceivably could pick up a little more. Biggest issue this AM is the iciness you have, and the crashing incoming winds and cold tonight.

Any word on Larry Plowing?

It's 9"30 am and 36 degrees at 211 Apple Creek. A jeep from split Rail road just passed the drive going down road with no trouble. PS Bill Jones on Staymon Road is out of ketchup.
ReplyDeleteTuesday, Jan 11 @ 11:am and almost 40 degrees! Larry has not plowed yet but several cars have gone up and down the road with no trouble. Higher temperatures may change the surface.
ReplyDeleteyay on the warm temps!!!!!! you have us beat in Charlotte by a mile! Need to make hay while the sun shines and get those roads taken care of before re-freeze and snow hits. I hope to make it home Wednesday.
