Well, the Winter Storm Warning is for the upper half of Apple Creek Acres, above 3500' (blue roof house), with a Winter Weather Advisory below 3500'. That's purely a differentiation of possible snow amounts. You can read the specifics HERE.
The biggest impact will be locations closer to the TN border than we are. Accumulations for ACA should be less than the warning criteria, with the GFS model painting up to 3" up high, and 0.5-1" down low for us, specifically. Our warm temperatures heretofore have warmed the ground and roads and will help with initial melting before accumulation begins, but that also means this snow may have an icy belly, which greatly complicates travel on the mountain.
Onset will be after dark, and should tail off Thursday morning. Bitterly cold temperatures, enhanced by windy conditions, will be in place all of Thursday into Friday morning, where lows will be in the teens.
I know this will excite you....we have an even better chance for accumulating snow Saturday night into Sunday morning. I'll post more about that Saturday morning sometime.
I won't be on the mountain for this event, so if you have any road conditions to report, feel free to put them in the comment section below. If I get any other information, I'll post it here, as well.
Bob
