WEATHER NOTES; FRIDAY PM UPDATE0

UPDATE FRIDAY 6PM:  From work I watched the snow fly on my Blink cameras, and in driving home it was apparent that up to 1/2 inch of snow had piled on the road in ACA, starting below the blue roof house.  I made it just fine, in 4wd with brand new tires great for snow.  2wd cars won't make it, at least not without some scary sliding.  Whatever sticks stays tomorrow, with bitterly cold moving in.  Sunday, as the day wears on, warmer air turns anything wintry into liquid, and we're out of the woods.  For now, no winter weather advisory for us, but the roads are what they are: slippery. Can't rule out isolated snow showers overnight.  The rest of this is the earlier post. 
-------------------------------------

  Lots of bitter cold and minimal frozen precipitation, that's what we have coming our way.  Strong NW winds will increase later today and overnight, prompting a wind advisory for ACA.  Snow flakes could well fly, but if we get a dusting that would be tops, and the winds should preclude most of that. 

Do be prepared for a potential power outage as the NW winds will more directly affect us, given ACA's NNE orientation.  We know the name of that tune in windy  conditions with our supply of dead Ash and Locust trees.  Those winds will be blowing in a very cold, albeit sunny, Saturday.

Sunday will be a wet one, that may start early with a light wintry mix, but warmer air moves in aloft and we'll go to all rain as Sunday progresses into Monday. Temps will simply be too warm for sustained frozen precipitation in ACA.
