Just headed out to Canton and back on errands, and it is a querrolous thing to look at the temps and snow accumulations. Here at the house, it's 25 degrees on the ground, 30 on the deck, yet melting is continuing for now. My guestimate is I've gotten 2-3" of snow, but with the significant melting the most any place has now is 1.5". My driveway is clear, ice-free, and Apple Creek Road is in perfect condition as I type. No ice, no slush or slick areas (only from Staymon down...can't speak about higher up).
All roads I drove into Waynesville...Mauney Cove, Hall Top, the four lane to Canton, all are in perfect conditions, albeit wet. I never encountered a temperature above 32, either. On the 4 lane to Canton, there would be no snow on the bordering land, then within a few hundred yards would be 2-3" piled up, then back to nothing. Everywhere I went, and even now at home here at the end of Staymon, it's snowing to beat the band, and has been for a few hours. The incredible melting is testament to the insolation we get from the higher sun angle and ensuing warmth of Tuesday afternoon.
Tonight's lows should be well down into the lower 20s. The Winter Storm Warning continues to 8am tomorrow, so snow showers will continue. No guarantee our great conditions will stay that way for the AM commute, however. Please feel free to post any pertinent reports in the comment section. I'll update as needed with any new information.
