March 6, 2013. While the drivers of the snow plows are making a valiant effort, the roads are a slushfest out there.
Also, while the snow accumulation predictions for yesterday and today have fluctuated, the latest National Weather Service winter storm warning – as of 6 a.m. this morning – estimates that two to five inches of additional snow accumulation is expected. Gusts up to 60 mph may occur as well.
Ray’s Weather expects areas along North Carolina/Tennessee border and mountaintops will receive 8 inches of snow – while most other areas in the High Country will receive two to four inches of snow – from Tuesday night through Wednesday night. The bulk of snow, though, will hit ground by early afternoon, Ray’s Weather notes.
Boone Police Department has advised folks to use caution on the snow-covered, slick roads on Twitter and Facebook.
