SUNDAY 12-26: Weather update

8.5" on my deck, and now the bitter cold.  16 degrees as I type, and most of us won't see 20 degrees again until Tuesday.  Throw in winds that will move in later, and you've got nasty wind chills and blowing snow.


WINTER STORM WARNING continues for ACA until 6p MONDAY.  Since we are now in the zone of passing snow showers coming in from the NW, it will  be sporadic snowfall that will have the potential to drop another 3-7" of snow....gets real hit or miss in the 'snowers' realm, but suffice it to say we ain't done yet.


I  will let John S. post info on plowing schedule for today, though temps too cold for salt to be working effectively.  I will assume travel down/up Apple Creek road is dangerous and highly discouraged for now.  It's all I can do to keep my driveway passable for the future, and I dare not try to negotiate Staymon on the steep side at this unplowed time.  Incoming family members (the young and the bold!) had to park on Mauney Cove last night and trudge up.


Some random snow totals from other locations:
3"  Charlotte
9"  Lenoir
8" Hickory
9+" Hendersonville
5+" Columbus (NC)
7.5" Lake Toxaway
4" Clayton, GA

Stay tuned for more excitement...  ;-)
