UGH...A BIT MORE SNOW IN THE WORKS (UPDATE)

7'1" Jay Huff (blue) and 6'8" Aamir Simms 

"IT'S A BIRD!"  "IT'S A PLANE!"  "NO, IT'S MORE SNOWFLAKES!!!"  My charter this weekend was to take Virginia to play Clemson last night, giving me the opportunity to dust off my sports photography skills...and why I wasn't here for all the snow fun.  Well, excepting the fun I had driving up at 2am this morning (read prior post for more).  

[2:50pm UPDATE - Apple Creek Road was plowed and salted this afternoon]

This is like the winter of the Fruitcake Snow...the gift that keeps on giving.  Yet another piece of energy pinwheeling around that huge low above the Great Lakes is slated to move through WNC this evening and possibly into Monday morning.  The NWS has hoisted a Winter Weather Advisory, calling for 1-3" above 3500', and a possible heavy dusting to 0.5" below that, almost identical to what fell here Saturday (except there was daytime melting to limit amounts). The Advisory starts tonight at 10pm and runs until noon Monday. For ACA, 1-2" for the upper half seems right, with the 3-4" totals relegated to elevations above 4500'. 

Temperatures will be well down into the 20s tonight, so that means more potential slipping and sliding on ACA roads should the snow fall and accumulate, even if a little.  Monday's highs will be much like today, though maybe a couple of degrees colder.  Yippee.

As always, I'll update with any pertinent changes worth mentioning this evening, or an update in the morning.  If we get skunked, I doubt we'll have any complaints.
