Snow, Sleet, Freezing Rain and Rain- - We May get it all

First off, its pretty amazing looking at the snowcover map over North America -- the snow stretches clear from the North Pole to western North Carolina and Georgia right now, with no breaks.  You don't see that often!  Maggie Valley had 12",  Boone had atleast 7.5" with more falling tonight, and its so windy with Blizzard Conditions, no accurate measurement can be ascertained, and once again as I alerted my readers to last week, Shelby stay UNDER FREEZING again.  We'll likely do that again on Tuesday. 
Next up, precip is slated to begin coming in our way late Wednesday night and the models are trickling further south. At first, it appeared to be very borderline for NC, still is tricky, but the trends are colder, with more precip falling and even including our area of NC. 
I think light snow begins overnight Wed. or very early Thursday morning, but the timing is still iffy.  The earlier it begins, the more opportunity it will have to start and stay snow longer. But, the snow WILL change over to something else within a few hours, most likely , Sleet. Then freezing rain. I can't say what quantities of either one we'll have yet, but I'll fine tune this as time goes along. I'm not sure we get above freezing on Thursday, we likely will, but probably after most of the precip has already fallen. And remember, our ground will be frozen solid by then anyway from spending 60 hours in sub 32 degree air....things could get slick real quick!
