It is plowed. But, at this hour, it is very dangerous to drive on. We are seeing more traffic here on u. S. 19. So, if you are going to be out today, please allow plenty of following distance. Stay home if at all possible because the roads, while clear, they are very very slick and the snow is, you know, its kind of picking up even out here in the dellwood area of Maggie Valley. Lets check in with hope and see how she is doing. Hope, how are things going . Hope hey, thank you so much, john. We made it over to the buy low parking lot in hendersonville. Because we wanted to show you what some of these snow piles are looking at. In fact, we have seen even bigger ones than that. Even some people venturing into buy low. This is one of the reasons we decided to come over here. This is one of the few parking lots we could actually get our vehicle into. Between the snow plows coming through the main thorough fairs, thats piling up snow, of course, so many driveways where likely to be pretty steep as well. But, on top of that, the wind is creating even more snow drifts. That is a very likely place to get stuck if you are out and about and of course we dont want any of. That we checked in with Henderson County, mcdowell county, rutherford, they dont have any major problems to report right now. But, they have been responding to stranded motorists all night long. The wind is an issue today. It is so cold. If you are heading outside. You warrant to wrap up every part of exposed skin. All morning long i have just been pounded in the face with little spec les of snowflakes. So thats pretty uncomfortable, too. No reason to be outdoors if you dont have to be. We will send it over to lauren now, who is in our mobile track through buncombe county. Lauren, what are you seeing out there . Lauren hi, hope. Well, we are inside the mobile track unite.

We are over here beside erwin high school, as you can see, some of the secondary roads are going to still be coated with snow and ice this morning. So, use caution if you are heading out. If you must be out this morning. The interstates were looking pretty good. We traveled i26 over to i240 earlier this morning. We showed you that route. For the most part, those, the dot crews worked very hard to get those cleared. There were a couple times snow was sticking in places coating the roads but definitely use caution. There could still be black ice in spots, of course, even on interstates this morning. But, again, these secondary leads, leaf creek road where we are right now, this is a look at what a majority of secondary roads in buncombe county at least in the erwin area look like here this morning. Even portions of new leicester highway look just like this. And we have seen many crews out treating the roads this morning. But, of course, it takes time to get to even all of the secondary roads because they focus on the primary routes first. We have seen very few cars out and about this morning. A majority of people staying home. That will, of course, help. Hopefully we will see shine later today to help the road conditions. We are still seeing snow blowing around, so the snow and ice and even the slushy mixture makes it difficult for travel. Parking lots as hope mentioned are the tricky spot, just getting out of your driveway even. I checked in with dispatchers and they tell me right now no accidents here in buncombe county, so so far, so good. Like i said, we have not seen a single car here on this road in the past few minutes. Most people staying home this morning and that is the good news. Most people staying home. Staying safe. If you must be out, use caution. There are still portions of the roadways coated with that ice and snow. We will give you another look at roads here in buncombe county.

As we head into lunchtime, up wards of 20 Miles Per Hour so that will continue throughout the course of saturday. Wind gusts pushing closer to 40 Miles Per Hour at times.

Zack now we will bring you down to the radar, this is what we are looking at across the gion. In maggie value we are seeing that, but i want us to notice how light the location was, in some locations its the snowball snow, thats more for the lower elevations. As you start getting up higher into the mountains as well as what does that actually entail . With these winds it is going to be whipping around. So, we do want to take our time, if you do head out on the roadway, we are still advising folks, if you can hunker down, please do so. Temperatures for the moment, low and mid 20s. For those in the mountains. Slightly warmer still, below the Freezing Point down in the upstate. So, roads are going to be very slick. And if you do head outside, bundle up.

It will come to an end as we make our way into saturday evening but there is still a winter storm warning in effect until tomorrow morning.

So now, with our Live Team Coverage we will send it around the mountains and show you one of the biggest impacts. E evan . Evan it let up in asheville, just a little flurries, but its coming down in Maggie Valley. John ostendorff continues Live Team Coverage. John, how much snow are you seeing coming down there .

Sewcol road, we have some traffic. But, its beginning to pick up. This road has been plowed. But, again, its really not very safe to travel this morning. Im just going to step out here for just a second and take a quick look while we have got no traffic. Its getting really icy, and this dry snow is going to make it dangerous to travel today. So, please, if you can, stay off the road. Lets check in with hope hanselman and she will tell us ate bout the conditions where she is. Hope . Hope thank you, john. The wind has been the worst of it in Henderson County. Its blowing snow right onto you making you wet and then, of course, the chill factor is bringing the temperature down as well. You can see that the ter mom ter over my shoulder at the Asheville Savings Bank sign says 20 degrees now. Its even dropped one degree since we have been here in the last half hour. Very cold outside. Thats causing even icier conditions. But the work is underway right now on main street. Trying to clear up this street. U can see it where Fourth Avenue c csses right here. The snow plows from dot have just passed through, dropping their salt and sand picture. You can actually see the melting going on here and i can tell you that is the first melted snow i have seen at all today. You shouldnt expect it to be safe though because with these temperatures, its very icy. We ran into one driver who told us what condidions he was seeing so far this morning. The roads have been plowed. Even the side roads. But, they are solid ice. Evan and back out here live, you can see just how quickly this wind picks up and makes visibility difficult. It covers the roads, blowing snow every where, even areas you think have been plowed are now covered in snow again. There. Stay them day. Emergency management offices. They said they spend all night responding to stranded motorists. Dont make yourself one of them, folks. Reporting live in hendersonville, im hope hanselmanhanselman now lets send it over to Lauren Brigman in our mobile track, what do you see . Lauren hi, hope. You mentioned the blowing snow causing issues in hendersonville. I want to show you here, we are on interstate 240 in asheville. We just passed the Asheville Mall exit. We are seeing that in some instances even on interstate 240, the blowing snow, you know, even though dot crews have been out focusing on the primary routes they have been plowed but in spots there is still snow on the roads from where the wind has picked up overnight, causing issues. And we have seen dot crews out even this morning. So, right here, we are approaching exit 8 here. But, as you can see the road on 240 looks pretty good. Definitely wet. And that means there could be ice in spots. So still use caution if you are out and about this morning. But because it is a saturday morning, we have not seen very many vehicles out and about. No accidents are being reported right now in buncombe county. Highway patrols, same case. The good news is people are still at home enjoying their warm homes, but we are going to take exit 8 right now. I believe theres a dot truck right ahead. We have seen them out working hard. Several crews focusing on parking lots. A lot of those other companies are out there trying to focus on those, because thats another big issue today, trying to get out of your parking lot and your driveway, things like that. Here is a plow truck just ahead. So, as you can see, they are still out here working on the roads. Its going to be a long process for them as they move onto the secondary routes today hopefully. We will check back in, we are live in asheville. Im laurenen brigman for news 13. Evan many businesses are closed but snow days are not an option for some people.

Zack snow is still coming down in many mountain locations. We have been talking about it all morning with live coverage across Western North carolina, the hd radar now showing you where these heavier bands are being seen. Now, in the overnight hours, we saw them out in Transylvania County as well as Henderson County and we are going to continue. You see it here with Maggie Valley. Its still coming down and its coming down with light flufffi snow. What does that mean this terms of the implications across the mountains . We are seeing the winds whipping around 20 Miles Per Hour. So, that light and airy snow is just really going to be blowing. And now down in the upstate, we actually saw even a litter bit more accumulation, possibly up to a half annch of snow in the overnight hours. I think things will start winding down today. Temperatures for the moment are below franchising for Western North carolina. Still actually below 32 degrees in the upstate and that is going to be cruflting over some soft snowfall bringing in icy conditions on the roadways and as as i mentioned before the winds are cooling things off. Take a look at this. Above 20 Miles Per Hour in asheville, many areas further west above 10 Miles Per Hour. We are actually getting reports of 1500 people in Jackson County now without power. And its mostly due to some of the winds. We are seeing some of the heavy snow on the tree limbs and the power line, potentially going to be knocked over throughout the course of the day. It is something we will closely monitor. Wind chill values down into the Single Digits in asheville. And, this visibility map, generally we see this for the fog. This is actually due to the blowing snow. So, again it is going to be blowing around throughout the you could see gusts pushing closer to about 30, if not 40 Miles Per Hour. Now, those are going to be reserved more so if the ridgetops in buncombe county, and spruce pine i think it will be a gusty day overall and they are not alone it will b be continuing for the majority of Western North carolina. And down in the upstate, as well. The snow, however, is going to be tapering off. These are the upper level dynamics. The last portions of this system. It is going to be pushing off to the east. Watch what happens in the overnight hours into sunday morning, clearing out skies. I do think we finally see sunshine returning to the forecast for sunday as well as monday. And the thawing, potentially going to start helping things really melting off some soft snow. But it will be very slow and very gradual. I think the impacts are going to be sticking around even as we lead into about midweek. And thats when we actually see our next chance for rainfall. Your winter Storm Timeline is coming to an end. More so at the Higher Elevations coming this evening. Coming through by 7 a. M. , expiring for those in the upstate at 7 p. M. This evening. And then our afternoon highs going to be cold all day long. So, if you do plan on heading out with the kids, maybe trying to play in the snow. Just want to bundle up, certainly put the heavier jackets and scarves as well as the hats and gloves on, because it is going to be whipping around there. So, even later on today, our wind chill values are going to be much cooler than what you are seeing on this map. Now, for tomorrow, take a look at this. We are back to 44 degrees, but really not going to be well melting things off too quickly because we are going to keep things more so on the cool side by monday. Mostly sunny sky, rain returning to the forecast for tuesday as well as wednesday. We are finally coming to an end in terms of the snowfall, but it packed a punch. We will turn it over to ingrid who will tell us about the accumulation that we have seen. Ingrid impressive snow totals right now 12 degrees in leicester carpet sales news 13 Skycam Network.
