Looks like about 2” of snow in Banner Elk, NC last night. Hurricane relief + Snow not something you want. We need heaters badly you can donate directly I will also post an Amazon shipping mission later those will take a few days to get here.

IIRC from my many traipses in that region on foot, Banner Elk is at about 4,000 feet altitude, and surrounded by taller weathermaking mountains (Sugar, Grandfather, Hump, and my favorite, Roan High Knob).
One of the most startling ice storms I ever experienced was on Roan, which some locals said they called the Storm King for its "ability to attract winter."
God bless and keep those people.
