COLD RAIN...

I was surprised to see Haywood County added into the Freezing Rain Advisory in effect until 8pm this evening (UPDATE: Haywood advisory canceled @ 1:50pm)....all along we were forecast to be above freezing, with any icing issues no farther west than Asheville and immediate mountains.  My low was 35 this morning, now up to 37.  The National Weather Service was concerned for potential icing along the I-40 corridor, and in sheltered valleys where colder air can get trapped.

By the time all is said and done in another 48 or more hours, we may well have tallied 5-6" of rain in ACA.  Upper Staymon is almost a quagmire in places.

Tuesday night, there may be a brief period with some snow showers as the colder air finally moves in, with zero road concerns at this time.  Same type of situation Friday night into early Saturday morning.
