Today begins with “All is quiet on the Western Front”, but that is not quite how it will end. According to High Country Weather, Wisp is forecasted to be the big winner with 4-7″, total, by this time tomorrow! They are followed by Canaan/Timberline 4-6″, Snowshoe 3-5″, and 1-2″ for Winterplace.
The state of Virginia will also see some measureable snow (1-3″), with NC/TN only getting just over an inch at the highest elevations.
