WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...???

I'm scratching my head over this one...NONE of my modeling shows anything above a dusting to MAYbe 1/2" of snow, and I've been watching these runs for two days.  Here's the 'official' advisory:

A Winter Weather Advisory is in place for Haywood County from 6am Monday through 6am Tuesday for elevations above 3500' (ACA's 'blue roof' house).  Snow to 4" and wind gusts up to 55mph.  The wind we'll get, and be prepared that some trees fall and cause some power outages, should the speeds manifest.

To be honest, I see those snow amounts only within a fairly narrow band of the higher elevations right on the TN border and the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Even the 'expected' NWS-GSP snowfall map for western NC has zero for Waynesville, and only starts accumulating a little within 15 miles of the TN border.  I'm just surprised, that's all...and a lot of people will be expecting inches of snow when it will be a skunk, mostly.  Any snow falling should be whipped around by wind and accumulations limited.

HOWEVER....some seriously cold air will be moving in. to the tune of lows in the teens Tuesday and Wednesday mornings...but temps do moderate by week's end.
