Just crawled up Apple Creek Road, and was the only car up past Dawen in several hours. Several cars off on the side of the road and in ditches, none blocking the road as of 240pm or so. I slipped and slid in my 6,000 pound lead sled, but made it home via 4-wheel high. Measured 1.2" on my deck.
The temp has apparently jumped up to 36 here. 37 at Chris Martin's house...but we're not done with precip and the temps will be going down. All that to say the snow is very slippery given the melting and travel is not advised...and no one without 4 wheel drive (not all-wheel) should attempt it at this time.
Off and on snow will continue a while, and there may be a period of freezing rain before we get to midnight, and then quiet. Temps are expected to be in the mid and upper 20s, so icy conditions are a given in the morning. Sure, it switches to rain on Thursday and should help out a good bit.....BUT....
The Friday-Saturday forecast is changing...this will be our big snow event so far this season. What looked like a cold Friday rain is now looking like a snow-sleet mix. After supper time, it will switch to all snow, lasting into Saturday. I'm not set on snow totals just yet as the current system is contaminating models I use, but 6-10" is a good guesstimate at this time for ACA.
I'll use this space for now to communicate more info...please refer to prior posts for more storm information.
