Wow. The NOAA Weather Radio just went off and mountains in NC are going to be receiving up to 10 inches of snow with temperatures in the 20s and 30s and winds to 20 mph. They are not ready for this, there is still color on the trees and a few friends were spending this past weekend in Asheville.
Besides driving, which North Carolinians have absolutely no concept of driving in the snow, there most assuredly there will be power outages. Towns and cities need to consider 'warming shelters' for their families when at all possible.

ASHEVILLE – The weather (click here) could get a little scary in the Asheville area late Halloween night and into Saturday, with high winds, the coldest temperatures of the season and, yes, even snow possible.
Snow is in the forecast even for valley locations such as Asheville, National Weather Service meteorologist Chris Horne said Thursday. The immediate Asheville area could get about an inch of snow by Saturday afternoon, he said, while areas to the north of town such as Weaverville could get up to 3 inches.
Higher mountains along the Tennessee border, above 3,500 feet, could get 3-6 inches of snow.
