And Another Winter Weather Advisory...

8pm update:
No biggee, just some light snow totally covering the driveway at 8pm, at 26 degrees.  Not a huge amount of showers left coming in from TN, but still enough to maybe make for slick conditions...just be careful.  Sorry for the low quality pics...too late and dark to do any better!  :-)  FYI, pics are from the end of Staymon Rd, ~3775'

good ol' light snow  8pm

Driveway solidly covered @ 8pm

Last night's advisory for sleet/ice was dropped this morning...I had no lower than 34 degrees this morning, and the view below at 8:20am was 'right pretty' as we say in the South.

 Our next advisory is already posted for 3pm this afternoon through 6am Sunday, per the possibility of snow showers that could accumulate.  They're calling 1-3" near the TN border and mainly above 3500 feet...for ACA, once again my maps have us in the 0-1" range.  Best chances look to roll in just after dark for a couple of hours, and with the possibility of no break between the changeover from rain to snow, there may be some icing on the roads.  The low is forecast to be in the low 20s, so plenty of cold air coming in rather quickly behind today's front.

There is another chance for wintry weather late New Year's Eve into the morning hours, though that system looks like all the others in its minor impact potential.  Just a heads up for anyone on the road late that night.

    just took the dog for a walk, ~1/4" of snow and more as you ascend, a bit slick but not too bad. seems pretty fluffy at the moment. probably best to stay off the road unless absolutely necessary.
