WEATHER UPDATE



Saturday afternoon, the sun came out and made a beautiful double rainbow here.  Shots are from my home @ 4:45pm (click to enlarge).

Been off the mountain a while, and just got back.  Already close to 1/3" here, and of course the snow cover started in earnest at 3500'.  :-)   Temperature has dropped to 33 degrees, with a forecast low in the 20s.  Black ice will be a concern, along with accumulating snow.

Maybe my trusty GFS model pushing for 2-4" will verify.  The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for ACA for elevations above 2500' (instead of the usual 3500'), calling for 1-3" of snow.  The advisory runs until 10am Monday.

Slippery roads will be developing before too long, and tomorrow morning should be a mess here. Because I'm involved with the school system, a delay is certainly possible,  If it appears buses can't safely run by 9am, it will be a no-day for all. The up-side is radar echoes at 9pm show a quickly-diminishing precipitation field.  Black ice will be the biggest concern.

Be careful y'all.  I'll update as needed later.
