Well, I've picked up around 3" of new snow today here at the end of Staymon, albeit with whippy winds at times and some melting earlier. Apple Creek Road has been in perfect shape from even early this morning; however, the temp is now down to 27 degrees just before 6pm and it's only downhill from here.
The NW flow snow showers will continue intermittently through the night and possibly well into Wednesday. The Winter Weather Advisory for Haywood County is through 8am, but I'm seeing a massive upstream moisture flow that will not go anywhere quickly as the parent low pummeling the northeast is starting to recurve slightly NW.
It's possible to pick up another 1-3" overnight. Driving up this afternoon, the snow was relatively absent below the blue roof house (relatively, I say). Accumulations will continue to be higher in the upper elevations above 3500'. What had been a non-icy Apple Creek Road can easily become more icy as time wears on, so a big concern for travel in the morning as well as school schedule concerns.
Bitter cold is incoming, so what falls sticks and stays. We'll ever so slowly start warming up by Friday, but until then the bitter cold will reign. Gusty winds increase our danger for power outages, as well, so prepare for that for the next 24-36 hours.
Wheeeee. Way to go, Punxsutawney Phil....

Hi, Bob. We're looking at one of the lots for sale there. I can't seem to find any contact info for the HOA. Could you provide a website or contact info? Thanks! - John
