EEGADS...WINTER STORM WARNING WITH A TWIST

Ya know, weather forecasting is a bear....anymore, society sits in an armchair and sees things as black and white and throws spears...and I'm here to tell you that this system is messy as all get out.  A model run is purely a suggestion not a 'what is', but some things are turning in a nasty direction.

So we're now a Warning and not a Watch.  Expected that. As COLD as we are (19 as I type at 6pm Sunday), the incoming precipitation may fall as freezing rain to start, even with surface temps below freezing.  Not good in any way, shape, or form.  Models trending quickly to make Haywood County and ACA to get at least 0.1" or more of ice before the cold layer gets thick enough for all snow, which puts snow on top of ice.  Bad stuff for travel.  Cuts down accumulations of snow, though.  Is that a big deal?  Is, I guess, for those that look for quantitative data.  Suffice it to say we're in for a mess. Snow SHOULD start in earnest by mid-morning Monday...

I'm slated to substitute teach in the Haywood School system Monday.  Will they call a delay or school overall early? If they don't, they certainly will call an early dismissal.  And from there on out, for Tuesday and Wednesday if not more, schedules and travel should be greatly impacted, here.  UGH.  This is a real mess....

SOOOoooooo....don't know that I'll post later tonight or early tomorrow, but things will be changing quickly once stuff starts occurring.  Stay tuned....
