If I tried to amend this morning's post it would be a little messy, so read this one over and then glean other info from the prior post.
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been hoisted for Haywood County from midnight tonight through 6am SUNDAY...yep, Sunday, not Saturday. The continuous trend has been for an even more protracted NW upslope snow event through Saturday, with breaks here and there. Closer to the TN border, 3-6" amounts will be possible, though the 3-4" part would be most prominent. While that's not really ACA, we're awful close...if the inflow sets up in a west to east flow, it will limit totals; if it sets up NW to SE, we can get more. HOWEVER, the winds will be whipping and blowing the snow, which in itself can cut down on totals.
Bitter wind chills will make Saturday especially raw, with temps falling from the 20s in the morning to teens in the afternoon, with those snow showers continuing. My earlier post had 1" low to 2.5" up high for ACA, but new data won't be in for a couple of more hours to see if there is a shift. Sunday morning lows could well be in the single digits, and don't look for the 32 degree mark until Monday afternoon.
ROADS: Jan Woodlief (new president) is aware of the situation, of course; but given the nature of this episode, it will be a waste of money to do any road treatment until we see an end to the bulk of the activity. If you must get out and down or up the mountain, you know the drill; just know that the roads will be slick and untreated until some time later Saturday (I'll post that information here as I receive it).
