A patchwork of cautions for us this morning:
Winter Storm Warning above 3500' (Moskos blue roof house) through 6am Wednesday. 3-6", highest above 5K feet (not in ACA)
Winter Weather Advisory below 3500' through 6am. 1-2" in the valleys.
Wind Chill Advisory through noon Wednesday. Overnight chills -5 to -20 with winds gusting to 40mph.
We are starting warm this morning, 39 at 5:45am, but temps drop hard this afternoon and night. Depending on how much snow falls and melts first, we might get an icy belly on this one. The pool of incoming moisture from the NW is rather sizable, and while it still takes just that perfect angle down the I-40 corridor for us to make the warning's higher amounts, I still see ACA topping out at 1-2", maybe 3" up high with the right direction. With that said, outside of our recent 3" snow. we've gotten off easy with very minor totals. I don't see us dodging this one, but I see us in the lower range of the warning at this time.
We'll give zero a run for the money for lows Wednesday morning and again on Friday morning. Always a good idea to put a winter 'kit' in your car, like heavier boots, socks, coat, hats, gloves in case you get stuck and have to hoof it up, especially with the anticipated winds later today. Chris Martin has offered his driveway as a place to safely park down low for those that need it.
There doesn't appear to be one clear cut time period for the snow, but most of the afternoon will have snow showers and maybe a heavier burst later in the afternoon. I've got jury duty this morning, so not sure when I'll hoof it home, but look for updates here on road conditions just in case. Keep in mind temps will be too cold for road salt to work, and there is still some salt residue on Apple Creek Road.
