WINTER STORM WARNING

(tweaked @6am Friday...changes in red)

The Winter Storm Warning for ACA is in effect from 7pm Friday through 1pm Saturday when the bigger push of snow finally arrives. The National Weather Service puts us in a 4-6" snow, with typical model variations.

FYI, a new experimental product from the National Weather Service says Waynesville will "most likely" get 5", with the low side of 0" and high side of 9". This is its first big test run.

Snow flurries/showers could fall during Friday here, before the warning officially begins.  The main roads here have already been brined.

My confidence has been 100% for 3" and 90% for 4" so I'll stick at around 4" for us in particular.  There will be heavier snow in the NC Piedmont/Foothills, possibly SC Piedmont, with by far the heaviest snows in eastern NC.  By all means, this is not a big snow storm, but it will definitely mess up our travel, whatever falls.  

The cold coming in behind this for Saturday through the early part of the week will be bitter, with single digit lows possible Sunday and Monday mornings. Some of us may not see 32 degrees until Tuesday afternoon. Whatever falls sticks and stays.  There is no rain or sleet to talk about in ACA.

I'll update with a new post when changes/conditions warrant.
