Squirrel Monday |
Last night there was a good amount of sublimation that took place, which is snow actually vaporizing and skipping the liquid stage. The winds blew in extremely dry air, which accelerates the process. All that to say our roads are passable, albeit some snowy sections still...but all of those passages I drove through had excellent tire tracks to follow for 2WD cars.
The system that could bring a wintry mix starting Sunday morning will be coming into our very cold and frozen ground, allowing for the potential of some light accumulation of snow and sleet. All the models I check had anything from a dusting to even 2" up high in ACA, but it's not expected to hang around for too long.
The going consensus in the models is that Haywood County will be in the warm nose that creeps in from the southwest, turning anything frozen to just a good ol' cold rain through the remainder of Sunday and into Monday. Areas north and northeast of Asheville won't be so lucky as they are forecast to have sustained icing, but as I write here around lunchtime Saturday, we only have a Hazardous Weather Outlook for a bit of wintry mix that then gives way to heavier rainfall and even possible thunderstorms.
I'll update as needed, probably early Sunday morning.

Thanks, Bob! Just this morning Keith and I were wondering where the wind blew all the snow! Thanks for answering our question😀
