If you read the advisory without any other knowledge, you'd think we're in for one heckuva snow storm tonight. But we're not. Usually, wording is added for 'near the TN line' or something to that effect, but it flat out says that for Haywood County 2-4" with up to 11" (isolated) of snow possible above 3500'. Not here. 0.5" to 1.5" should be it for ACA by daybreak tomorrow, with temps well down in the teens. What sticks stays, at least for the day, but please don't look for a Snowmageddon.
HERE is the advisory for your perusal.
I still can't decide on leaving the mountain tonight, but for now I'll salt my driveway before going to bed and trust Apple Creek Road will be passable to head to my appointment at 6am, unless I see a turn in the models for more snow later today. Thursday will be a bitterly cold day all around the board.
This evening, there should be some rain showers, maybe mixing with snow, before the temps really start dropping and the NW flow snow bands start arriving. We're all worried about an icy belly to any snow that sticks, but I sense it will be minimal this go 'round, especially if there is a bit of a break between liquid and frozen. Cold dry air can evaporate things quickly.
If I see significant changes I'll post it here this evening. Otherwise, please use the Facebook page HERE for everyone's input and updates on conditions in the morning.
