Winter weather advisory in effect, ashe county, watauga, avery, mitchell, yancey until 7 00. That is a chance it could be extended the snow will likely keep on for a while this morning and of course the winds will be very slow to abate as well. That is king street in boone from resortcams.

It is gigantic. It is out here laying across two lanes heading away the city of charlotte. Crews cut down the right hand part of the tree heading queens road northbound lanes.
