What is your current temp?Areas along the Blue ridge escarpment look likely for ice tonight.
Any suggestions for a good spot to set up for this weekend's possible snow? I was thinking maybe somewhere between Roan Mountain TN and Banner Elk? Hoping for some input from you guys that know the micro climates up there. Thanks!
Thank you for the input!You're spot on. Anywhere from Elk Park, Banner Elk, or Beech Mountain. I miss that area so much, its been some years since I've been.
Carvers Gap near Roan Mountain on the NC/TN line is a great spot for a hike in the snow if you can make it up there on NC Highway 261. It's about a 2-2.5 hour drive from Charlotte and sits at 6,000 feet elevation. There's parking right off of 261 where the Appalachian Trail crosses. I went back in early February 2020. It was raining in Spruce Pine and Bakersville, but Carvers had about 6 inches of snow on the ground with a snow and sleet mix falling. The NC side of 261 was cleared but the TN side right past the parking area was completely snow covered.Any suggestions for a good spot to set up for this weekend's possible snow?

There’s a nice grove of pine trees if you walk up the trail from the parking area on the left side of the road. Took this picture when I was there in 2020. The trail on the right side of the road has more open areas and seems to get more foot traffic, but really has a nice view in clearer weather.Carvers Gap near Roan Mountain on the NC/TN line is a great spot for a hike in the snow if you can make it up there on NC Highway 261.

I’m having my alternator rebuilt on my Dodge 2500. Should be ready by tomorrow but in the off chance it isn’t and I have to drive my wife’s 2wd Saturday who is going to come tow me out if I get stuck?
