Update 745am Sunday: 23 degrees, 0.5-0.75" snow, though windblown...I can see Apple Creek Road for a good stretch centered around the mirrored curve and it looks basically black. Not had any reports from drivers yet. Hoping that leftover brine and salt did the trick.
I just got in from out of town and not been around the computer in a good while. All along it looked we'd get an inch or less, though the radar is currently lit up rather nicely. Moisture is moving west to east, as opposed from NW to SE, which usually keeps our amounts quite limited. Driving up I noticed a lot of leftover salt and brine stains on the road, so would imagine the road will stay in decent shape.

There is a typical Winter Weather Advisory for the cursory 1-2" possible through Sunday morning, with most of that along the TN border and above 4K feet. Luckily early AM travel demands are not as big a deal on a Sunday versus a weekday morning.

8:15 am, 25 degrees @ 211 Apple Creek. Road is completely black no traffic at this time. Go safely.
ReplyDeletewe were able to go down and get back up from 579 this morning with no problem. There was a light coating of snow on the lower part of the road but no slippery stuff......
