High Winds To Be A Problem

We can focus on snowfall totals, but the main concern here are the high winds on the backside as the Upper Level Low moves through. Some trees could have 9”+ of frozen precipitation coating them with winds gusting over 40mph. This is a serious recipe for power outages. Check out the wind map at the peak from the most recent HRRR model.

Time Running Out To Prep

There are several more hours for preparation but this storm looks to begin around WNC at 10pm or so. The highest wind gust will be around 6am so there will be no time to prep tomorrow. Things like filling up a bath tub to flush toilets if you have a well, and getting alternative heat are all things to think about. Be safe!!
