Lots of sun on the way...

Here's today's video:

What a cold, snowy period it has been in the mountains. Here are some early snow totals. Some of this data does not include the additional snows from yesterday afternoon....

Maggie Valley: 8"
Buladean: 8"
Bryson City: 6"
Sugar Mountain: 6"
Beech Mountain: 5"
Cherokee: 4"
Blowing Rock: 3"

For many, this storm system delivered the nice snows as expected....such as up in WV and parts of VA. However, in some spots, it was a big failure...such as around DC. There, the maritime flow off of the Atlantic kept switching the snow to rain.

We are entering a stretch of very nice weather here in the Carolinas. Each day's highs will get a little warmer through the weekend, and all days will feature lots of sun. For the Piedmont, highs this weekend will warm into the 60s for most.
