(Updated at 6:49am Sunday)
The Winter Weather Advisory from midnight tonight through noon on Sunday was dropped but now I have a nice dusting with fine snow @ 31 degrees. Actually heading out on an early quick store run, but not anticipating any road issues nor do I expect freezing rain to be an issue. This is considered a "NW flow" event which means these dusting snow showers are possible this morning.
The concern for other areas is for temps that will be slightly below freezing early Sunday morning, so a mix of freezing rain and a little snow is possible in the NC counties bordering TN. While a wintry mix is likely to fall for a short time here, temps yesterday warmed roads which I'm sure helped...right now, this seems like a limited issue in ACA, more for points north and towards the TN border from us.

GLUB, GLUB, GLUB....
...and now BRRRRR!
For the past rain 'event' the past few days, I tallied 5.78" at the end of Staymon. We are in a Wind Advisory today, and just in the few minutes I was out tending to my bird feeders (after an effective raccoon raid early this morning), several trees and large limbs came crashing down as the winds started to howl over the ridge behind me. Thanks to all those who stop to help move that which has fallen on our roads.
Back to the ice box with the cold finally coming in...could well have some snow showers later today, though at best a dusting would occur in higher elevations. No travel issues for ACA. This weekend, more precipitation moves in, but temperatures won't be locked down in snow territory, so we'll most likely go in and out of snow and rain showers Saturday night and Sunday, beginning as rain Friday night. At this time, no wintry accumulations or travel issues are expected.

COLD RAIN...
I was surprised to see Haywood County added into the Freezing Rain Advisory in effect until 8pm this evening (UPDATE: Haywood advisory canceled @ 1:50pm)....all along we were forecast to be above freezing, with any icing issues no farther west than Asheville and immediate mountains. My low was 35 this morning, now up to 37. The National Weather Service was concerned for potential icing along the I-40 corridor, and in sheltered valleys where colder air can get trapped.
By the time all is said and done in another 48 or more hours, we may well have tallied 5-6" of rain in ACA. Upper Staymon is almost a quagmire in places.
Tuesday night, there may be a brief period with some snow showers as the colder air finally moves in, with zero road concerns at this time. Same type of situation Friday night into early Saturday morning.
