...AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW TO CAUSE TRAVEL ISSUES ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS THIS MORNING...

Snow showers have tapered to flurries across the mountains from
the Alleghanys to the North Carolina High Country. However, strong
winds and the dry powdery snow cover will lead to blowing and
drifting snow at times. This will create snow cover on roadways,
and may reduce visibility. Drive with caution if you have to
travel across the mountains this morning.
