We were supposed to leave for Atlanta tomorrow from Afton and would like to go as soon as it is safe–any thoughts about whether we might make it out Monday? 151 to 6 to 29 to Charlotte then 85 to Atlanta–. Is there a road safety info number to call? how about for NC, SC, & GA? No tv up here. I’ll be checking in Sunday for any info!

It’s really coming down up here on the top of Wintergreen’s Devils’ Knob but the snow is fluffy — at this point you can clear it with a broom. Currently the yardstick-in-the-driveway shows 9″ fallen at 8:20 pm. This compares with 2″ at 5:35 pm and 4″ at 6:20 pm.

At 5:35 pm we had just over 2″. At 18:20 pm we had just under 4″. Fluffy thus far.
