19 degrees and 1" of very fluffy, non-icy snow this morning. In fact, water equivalent was only 0.04", so very little moisture. I easily swept off the stairs to non-icy wood, and could not feel iciness on the driveway which had only a dusting collected in spots. Heading out shortly and don't anticipate any problems. Another freeze warning for tonight with lows back down into the teens, then we'll start warming back up, thankfully.

WINTER RETURNS...BUT NOT FOR LONG
Around midnight tonight we may get a skiff of snow...models have ACA in the 0-1" range, with the NAM having 2" close by. Just doesn't look like a lot of moisture once the colder air gets here.
Lows Saturday and Sunday will be cold enough to do a whammy on some buds and early flowers. Low 20s Saturday and upper teens Sunday are not welcome temps for tender vegetation. However, temps do start rebounding soon enough so we'll be back to the business watching the greening of our mountainsides.

THE WEEK AHEAD....
We're never "out of the woods" in ACA in early March, but at least incoming inclement weather is liquid this week. The only problem is, it's every day even through the weekend, though by Sunday chances are down to 30%.
There is a very small window around 7am Monday that any rain falling may be wet snow, but roads will NOT be an issue. Gorgeous warm temps today, and lows only around freezing at coldest (if that) will prevent any travel issues...other than that, we're well above freezing and all liquid all week.
2-2.5" of rain are likely over the week ahead. No biggee there as it's off and on the whole period, but I know here at the end of Staymon the gravel road becomes a quagmire with excess liquid, so will enjoy the Boot Scootin' Boogie for a flat stretch as my buggy waffles in the mire. :-)

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TODAY
Originally, I wasn't going to post anything as it seemed ACA wouldn't really be affected. However, the NWS at GSP has ACA in a Winter Weather Advisory from 6am through 6pm today, Thursday.
They are calling for rapidly falling temps and precipitation which could start rain, go to freezing rain, and even switch over to some snow and sleet, in the 1-3" range. I don't see that much (if any) here in ACA (my models still say 0-1"), but closer to the TN border it's plausible.
With that said, it's 56 degrees here at the end of Staymon as I type just before 6am, so even if wintry stuff falls later today, we have warm roads, hence little to no concern for slippery driving. It'll be colder for a couple of days, but this, too, shall pass.
