That is frozen over. All of those roads that got any sort of melting yesterday, and we are on sand hill road right now in buncombe county. Where it meets sar disroad. We came ear to show you just because some of the roads are First Priority for the county doesnt necessarily mean they are totally out of the woods. These are some patchy areas you are looking at right now as our photographer ken is walking down the road. We are seeing traffic moving pretty well on the main roads for the majority, but those secondary roads are a real problem today. Thats what is causing so many closures for churches around the area.

Its wicked cold out here, though im a southern girl, myself, i like that, zack, myself. Here in fletcher i will tell you what happened minutes ago. Right behind me at the intersection of south maple road and asheville highway on the other side of the snow bank a driver was stuck. She was sitting there for 1520 minute, her name is hillary hume, she said she lives on south maple road. She got stuck yesterday trying to get out of just her driveway but you know she had to get to work this morning and thought that the road were okay because she was hearing the snow plows right here on asheville highway. But, when she got down to the end of the road she got stuck on actually a little small bank of snow that the plow, of course, push odd the side of the roadway. She was not expecting that. Thats her advice to everyone who plans to hit the road today. Again, use caution. If you dont have to be out, certainly stay at home. But in her case, she had to get to work. And, of course, she wasnt expecting to get stuck just here at the foot of her road. But, again, we talked with her. We have video of the nice driver out. She was okay. And now she is heading to work. Coming up at 7 30, we will show you that video of what happened here at this intersection on asheville highway. Live in fletcher, Lauren Brigman, news 13.

After a lot of snowfall, not going to be the case this morning. But, still a few flakes flying around the highest elevations. The brunt of the storm now moves far off to the north and east but not without leaving devastating impacts from dc all the way up through new york city. Delaware as well as new jersey, parts of virginia getting absolutely devastated with extreme snowfall. Not going to be the case today.

We are in the Single Digits right now in morgue and asheville is 18 degrees but the winds are whipping around. We saw gusts at 40 Miles Per Hour yesterday. I think we will will be hovering around wind at 10 Miles Per Hour but you see it sustained in asheville making it feel like a chilly and balmy 2 degrees. Wow, that is a cold morning for all of us for across the board, even down into the upstate. Its feeling like the mid teens. So, the High Pressure is returning. Sure, the sunshine is around but dont expect too much warmup. Grab the heavy jacket, the hat and gloves. Make sure the pets are not outside too long. It is just too frigid out there. But, the thaw is going to be coming as the sunshine is going to remain in place for the High Pressure. For the next day or two. But, then, an area low pressure thats right now situated far off to the northwest is going to come sweeping down towards our region and thats when we start to see the next chance for rain and possibly some flakes mixed in of snow bringing us into wednesday morning. Overall, that is a very short stint in terms of the system. Not a whole lot to be speaking of in terms of impact either. Bringing us into lunchtime today, Clear Conditions and thats going to be the case all day long leading us through the afternoon hours. Be averaging around our average for the time of year, rather, and we will keep the Clear Conditions on the way for tomorrow morning.

There grow, tuesday, more so in the afternoon hours for our rain chances. As we transition into wednesday morning, we are going to drop below freezing. I do think the cooler air is going to be in the upper level phs of the at mosser foo. We will probably see some flakes flying around. It will be very wet and very dense snow. Could actually increase some of those issues on the roadways, but again, it is a short stint and then we will start the see temperatures rebounding and a little more sunshine on the way for thursday and friday.

This historic winter storm wreaking havoc all over the east coast. We have a live look for you right now. This is times square. Lets its Getting Better there. When we saw the picture an hour ago ark lot more snow was covering the road. Obviously, trucks have been out clearing Downtown Manhattan all day. Just like they are here in the mountains. Zack you can still see slippery conditions out there. It will be much more of the same here as well. We saw that ice on the bottom portions of the road, where the surface and snow is, on top. It will be slick conditions all day long. Evan thats right. Last check, minimal Power Outages here in western North Carolina. Only about 250 spread around this area. The story of the day, obviously, icy Road Conditions. Zack yeah, i know me coming in here today, we were drifting a little bit. Had a little bit of a concern. But, overall, the main thoroughway is the way people are most worried about. It seems like we are clearing we have live crews out there this morning. News 13s hope hanselman and Lauren Brigman have been monitoring the roads since 5 a. M. , but first, we will take a look right outside and the leicester carpet sales Skycam Network out of black mountain. Single digits right now. You see one of the back roads there. The slick roads, you have those covered by snow with some of the blowing conditions. We are still seeing wind above 20 Miles Per Hour. So, it is a very chilly start to the day. But, we want to get those girls in nice and warm so we will send it back to evan and bring it out to live coverage. Evan the roads are wet and possibly slick in many locations. News 13s hope hanselman has been out monitoring the Road Conditions for us live all morning. Good morning, hope. What are you seeing now that the sun is up and maybe drying out a little bit . Hope yeah, we can give you a better picture and really a broader picture of what we are dealing with around buncombe county. Throughout the day, we have shown you some of the main roads; brevard road, sardiss, sand hill, they are looking but by no means would i go full speed on that road. Any of those roads. Because they are they do have some very patchy spots. We found this West Asheville neighborhood just off Sand Hill School road. This isnar beth road where it meets bear creek. Look at how covered in snow this is. I doubt this has been plowed. At least in the last 24 hours. Even some of these driveways over here, so deep that its likely you are going to get stuck if you dont have allwheel drive or fourwheel drive. We took our allwheel drive subaru up the hill and its so little bit. Stuck. But, luckily, we didnt and, luckily, its all downhill from here. But, gosh, im going to regret this, i know it, but i just have to do a snow angel here you guys because this is the perfect weather for it. If there is anything you can enjoy about these freezing temperatures, hopefully its a lets check in with Lauren Brigman in Henderson County. Lauren, how are you doing out there . Lauren i wish i could see your snow angel, hope out here, we have actually encountered a few problems in the last few minutes. We actually ran into a driver here. We stopped to make sure she was okay because she was stuck here on south naples road. As you can see, it is very snow packed but then underneath that is a layer of ice. She actually got stuck right over here, she was trying to make her way on the asheville highway. One of the snow piles over here, you know, she said she saw heard a plow coming through this morning. We have brand new video to show you of what happened out here. She lived just up south maple road. She said she heard the plows out here all morning and thought she could make it into work. She had to boo into work by 6 00 and then she made it out of her driveway, down here. But when she tried to turn and got stuck on one of the snow piles, luckily, another driver passing by, someone with a large truck stopped to help her out asheville highway to safety. And so, she was able to get on herhope also, while we were out here, Hendersonville Police as well as Highway Patrol stopped by to make sure she was okay. But, as you saw, that other kind driver stopped to pull her to safety and she was able to proceed on her way to work. But, again, thats the lesson this morning. If you have to be out somewhere, its not just the ice as we have been telling you all morning that may cause issues, you but watch out where the plows come through, they create the snow piles. If your car is not tall enough toic ma it over them, you may so, again, use caution on the roads. If you absolutely have to be out today, best case scenario, of course, is to stay home as we have been telling you all weekend. But, there is just another example of what can happen here out on the roads. Very blood that driver is okay. Live in fletcher, Lauren Brigman, news 13. Jay city crews and dot continue working and treating roads this morning. Most of the interstate is cleared of the major snow. But, lot of that standing water has frozen overnight on secondary roads, causing some black ice conditions. We did talk to some drivers who did venture out and you heard from some of them there. Others said the roads were pretty difficult to navigate. I see people in the ditch. I see people having to get rides. But, i also see a lot of people out for a sunday stroll. Evan city crews plan to start removing the snow from the downtown area in just a few hours. Mission hospital says today could be the very busiest day when it comes to stormrelated injuries. To walk on sidewalks and having sledding and snowrelated injuries. Hospital launched its emergency plan on thursday. Bringing in extra staff and keeping them on hand. We have people sleeping in every open room. We are providing them meals. We bedded 500 staff here in the hospital last night. We have had about three times the number of physicians staying in the hospital than we usually do. So that people are assured they are here. Evan cafeteria in the hospital has also been a busy place. The emergency plan at mission includes feeding county workers especially those out clearing the roadways. We will continue to run all the closings and cancellations we have at the bottom of your screen throughout the news cast. Most events like concerts and shows have been postponed. Many churches are closed this morning. So, definitely a good idea to check those or our web site and always call ahead if you have other plans. This morning, the massive bliss ard blanketing the east deadly storm left behind a record amount of snow, dangerous condition, and Power Outages all over the east coast. Kenneath moton has the latest from washington, dc. Reporter this morning, blizzard 2016 proved to be one for the record books. Oh, yeah, its no fun. No fun at all . No, its not a winter wonderland. Reporter the massive storm and understanding winds crawl up the east coast, dumping more than 2 feet of snow in some parts, crippling major cities like dc, baltimore, and philadelphia. In new york city, a travel ban was in effect to clear the roads. Unless it is truly an emergency, you should not be on the road. Reporter but the worst of the storm damage is happening right now in the jersey shore. Oh my god, the winds are horrible. Its cutting you up, the sand and the rain. Reporter more than three years after super storm sandy devastated communities there is major coastal flooding. In ocean city, chunks of ice floating in the street. Homes underwater in atlantic city. And just like sandy, the storm was also deadly. Many of the deaths on icy roadways. In pennsylvania, an 86mile stretch of the pennsylvania turnpike was closed. Hundreds of vehicles stranding, including a bus carrying the Duquesne University basketball team. Now, crews are working to dig out roads, airport, up and down the east coast, and cities buried by historic snowfall. Exact snowfall totals are coming in but they are expected to be record breaking. Right now cities like dc are trying to figure out if they will be up and running for the work week. Washington. Evan news 13s been keeping of the storm. After the show we will continue to track slick Road Conditions, posting updates to the forecast on wlos. Com. We will also have text alerts and weather and school and Church Closings there. You can also find information on our facebook and twitter pages. That was a really adorable zack she is. She is coming back. I know folks will try to do the same today. Evan yeah. Zack err on the side of caution. Evan do that instead of getting out on the road. Zack knows about that snow angels stuff. Zack oh, boy, there we go. Gosh, we are just calling people out this morning, arent we folks . Lets get over to the picture now. Clearer skies this evening no. 8 degrees right now out in rosman. Thats absolutely gorgeous photograph but a very chilly start to the day. Bit of sunshine on the way. Chance of a thaw with 50s returning to the forecast. And then our next chance for rain and snow, when is it going all coming up in your skywatch now, in high definition, this is your news 13 skywatch forecast. Zack welcome back, a quiet start to the day. We have not heard those words for the past few days. But, a lot of snow on the ground. Its already going to be impacting us, but the flurries have come to an end. Still a few flakes flying around the Higher Elevations across the North Carolina and tennessee border right through swain county. But, nothing at the lower elevations. The brunt of the storm now moved far north to the north and east but not without leaving devastating impacts as we just mentioned prior to the break for those in washington, dc up towards new york. But even areas as far north as new england, seeing some of the heavy accumulation. Parts of the virginia, even upwards of 40 at times. An absolutely incredible amount of snow dumped in a very short temperatures, wind, cold, thats what we will be dealing with for the next day or so. 18 degrees in asheville but look at this, for burnsville at 8 degrees, morganton also there. Bryson city met with franklin at 11. And its not going to be much warmer as we make our way further south. Everyone below the Freezing Point, even into the low and mid 20s, but watch this. As we whip around those winds at 20 Miles Per Hour in asheville, wind chill values down into the low Single Digits. Its feeling like 2 degrees right now in the city. 1 degrees out in morganton. Take a look at boone. We saw wind chill valueless below zero yesterday and i think that can be the case this morning with some of the clearer conditions. High pressure is going to dominate today as well as tomorrow. So, we will see a little more sunshine, a little more blue sky. Certainly more than what we saw in the past two days but an area of low pressure with a cold front is sweeping towards our region and thats going to bring in a little bit of rain, a little bit of snow on the way for tuesday and wednesday. But, little in terms of accumulation and little in terms of impact. Of the problems especially on the roadways. If you head out the door in the early morning, we have been talking about it all morning long, maybe you want to hunker down for one more day because the icy and snowy conditions are going to make travel hazardous and unmanageable at times. Going through the rest of the day, clear skies are going to continue heading into the afternoon hours. Dont expect much of a warmup, but just hovering around the average for this time of year. Overnight bringing us into tomorrow morning. We keep with the clear skies and that will be another chilly start to the day. The winds are not going to be as imparissive as what we have seen this morning and yesterday, but overall the heavier jackets are certainly going to be needed as we kick off our start to the work week. And by tuesday, thats when we will ramp up those Storm Chances overnight lows going to be dropping below the Freezing Point from tuesday into wednesday morning. So, we could mix in a few flakes once again but it will be very wet and dense snow if we see any at all. So, its all about little impact for that quick stint and then by thursday and friday, the sunshine is going to return and we will be seeing that today as well. Your sevenday forecast, trying and tuesday. You see that quick little issue with the system for tuesday and wednesday morning. But then we are back in the mid and upper 40s for the friday. In this line of work only the freshest ingredients make the cut its important to me to know every dish i serve is the best it can be. Especially for this food critic. Publix bakery scratch made bread we bake it in store every day with pride so you can serve it with some evan injuries during snowstorms like this come down to the three s. , sledding, slipping, and shoveling. As news 13s john lee reports, each year, thousands of injuries are linked to sledding alone. I just love it. Its a beautiful place. Reporter baby, its cold outside. Which makes some throw caution to the wind, at strauss park. Snowday reporter most folks wont do a back dealership in the snow of course but Nathan Johnson will take his son for a thrill on the hill. What is your favorite part, buddy . Sledding and snow boarding. Something so fun can go downhill in a hurry. I hit a bump and, like, i fell off and it was like a hard area. And so, like, it left a bruise on my knee. Reporter often such injuries requiring a trip to the hospitalf pi think yesterday one of the busiest days we saw in the e. D. Are sledding accidents. Reporter there were six people treated for sledding related injuries yesterday. Dr. Susan mimes urges you to use your head and head gear. I encourage folks to wear a helmet sledding and to know where they are sledding. We take expra precautions, helmets, gloves, try to keep them hydrated and just have fun. Another hurtful part of the snow is shoveling. Often causing back injuries and heart attacks. But, we often forget that sledding can be so compel rating it hurts. And keeping safety in mind is a slide in the right direction. Just dont do anything dangerous out here. Reporter each year some 20,000 people are treated just and as for shoveling, another 11,000. In brevard, john lee, news 13. Evan time is 7 49. Lets look at todays mind teaser. What is the lowest known point on earth . Whether on land or in the ocean.

News 13s Lauren Brigman and hope hanselman have been monitoring those conditions for us. Lets get one last check in with hope. Hope thank you, evan. Just to recap what we have seen so far today, these are some of the worst neighborhoods that we have seen. This is West Asheville. Just off Sand Hill School road. Its not looking too good out here. Definitely not been plowed. Very thick, very icy. Underneath all of this. Secondary roads are the biggest concern in buncombe county. Other main thorough fairs, brevard road, sar dis, sand hill, interstate, all looking for the most part pretty good. But, all of them have icy patches so we want to ask you to drive slower than normal if you have to leave the house today. Obviously, some folks like the ones who live around here, are best just staying home. We have got lots of school closings, excuse me, lots of Church Closings on the sunday morning. You can check those at the wlos app. City bus service in asheville starts again at noon today. But some of the routes are limited so check that before you head out the door, too, and the city is asking you to clear sidewalks near your house. As more people get out with the warmer temperatures coming our way, we want the make sure they are not walking in the roadway. So, Property Owners and businesses make sure you clear the roadways too. Here you go. There is the end result from my snow an jeel. I did it, lauren. I know you cant see it but i i recommend trying it myself. Trying it yourself. We will send it out to you in Henderson County, lauren. How sit looking out there . Lauren hey, hope, take a picture so i can see it and everyone else on took and twitter. Hope, we have been out in Henderson County as you have been out since 5 a. M. This morning and we have traveled across the country and this is what we are finding, even some of the main routes like the asheville highway continue to be slick. Snow, ice covered and areas even butler bridge road was worse compared to this. But there was an intersection of south maple and asheville highway where a driver was stuck as she was trying to get to work this evening no. We have that new video to show you from that incident here. She says, you know, she lives on south naples road. Hillary hume is her name. She was kind enough to talk to us when we stopped to make sure she was okay. She said she was trying to get to work and didnt expect the pielings of snow would be too large for her car to pass over. The night so she anticipated she would be able to make it to work and she got stuck. But then a kind man passing by with a big truck was able to stop and help pull her to safety. We also saw Hendersonville Police and Highway Patrol stop here to make sure she was okay. Once she was pulled out on the asheville highway she was able to proceed to work. And go about her day. Thankfully, she was okay. But again, another lesson learned. The ice is not the only issue on the road this morning. Also, these small piles of snow that you can get stuck on just as easily. So, use caution if you are heading out anywhere today. Lauren brigman, live in fletcher, news 13. Evan the lowest known point on earth .
