For the most part things have worked out as planned. Snow was very heavy this morning creating terrible road conditions and after a brief break, snow picked back up around lunch time through early afternoon. I think most places will pick up what was forecasted. I think we have between 2 and 3 inches here at the Wellness Center, about one inch lower than expected due to some warmer temperatures. Most places above 3600 feet are between 3 and 7 inches expecially toward the western end of the country and up into Ashe County.
Forecast: Mountains
Snow showers and flurries will continue off and on through the evening but I am not expect more than a dusting for most places, maybe another inch near the Tennessee line. Blowing snow will be a problem with winds gusting 25-35 mph tonight. Temperature will also drop to the low to mid 20's and roads will likely become very icy and hazardous as the evening progresses.
Thursday should start with some clouds but become increasingly sunny through the day, before clouds increase again at night. Temperatures will warm to near or just above freezing by the afternoon. Friday we will see a period of light snow showers and snow flurries in the morning ending around noon. Only expecting very light accumulations (dusting to maybe 1" for most). Another chance of snow flurries will be possible late Friday night into Saturday morning (no accumulation expected).
Foothills: Maybe a sprinkle or snow flurry this evening (no accumulation). Roads should dry up this evening before temperatures fall below freezing. Any roads that remain wet will be icy in the morning with temperatures in the mid-20s. Look for chilly be sunny weather through the weekend.
*** There is the possiblility of another storm the middle of next week that could bring some type of wintry weather to both the mountains and foothills but it is way to early for details and specifics. I'll keep you posted***
This is the final snow map of what most of the area received:
