Tomorrow snow is forecast to fall from Asheville,N.C. northward along the Appalachians into VA. Anywhere between 6-12 inches in trail towns like Damascus to over a foot in the upper elevations in North Carolina and Virginia.

If you're heading out tomorrow in those affected areas be careful and break out the snowshoes. :)

Yeah with all of the rain we have had the trails are probably about washed out in some areas. Throw in the snow predicted and it will be rough. I though about heading out this weekend to check some of the local trails.

Might need to hike in NY/NJ this weekend. Bummer. I was looking forward to the Homeplace or the new Blue Blaze Cafe.

You got ur wish topshelf... it is snowing in Roanoke VA right now... 3-5 inches expected. It's turning everything white in a matter of minutes.

So pretty!
