Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is coming to town starting this evening and running through Wednesday morning, to the tune of strong winds and a chance for light wintry precipitation in the predawn hours of Tuesday and Wednesday.

| Sunday aftenoon, and the ultra-light AM snow hung on |
First, I was amazed that our expected light, light snow shower early Sunday morning (which at home here on Staymon was only about 0.1") covered absolutely everything, including the driveway. And it stayed all day thanks to our shaded NE exposure.
A potent storm system will arrive tonight bringing with it a High Wind Warming for those above 3500' and a Wind Advisory below 3500'. Whether we get the potential gusts approaching hurricane force winds remains to be seen, but what works a bit in our favor is that the winds will be out of the S/SE, which means Laurel Ridge blocks the brunt of it. You can read the advisories HERE.
Both early Tuesday and Wednesday mornings there is a chance for some precipitation to be wintry in nature, be it snow or a wintry mix. Winds will help preclude accumulations of any note, but may make for slippery surfaces. It's very little if it is measurable, just suffice it to say it's a trypical 'heads up' for the next couple of days.
I'll be staged for power outages and potentially trees down across the road just in case. So if someone tells you to go fly a kite, get one that has a Kevlar reinforced frame and some rope instead of string...and let me know how that works out for you... :-)
