Who is seeing snow? It is falling in Waynesville, but not yet sticking.

The beginning of the parkway!
During the early construction years of the parkway, visitors were cautioned to travel at their own risk with large sections unfinished and multiple detours to follow to continue the journey. The final section of the road wasn’t completed until 1987, but it didn't keep folks from visiting. By 1987 almost 375 million visitors had enjoyed the Parkway since its opening. #engineersweek #construction #tbt

US National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
Accumulating snow is expected for much of the western Carolinas and northeast GA Thursday. Area roads are off to a warm start for the event, so accumulations will be primarily on the grass initially. The forecast remains highly subject to change, so stay tuned! #scwx #ncwx #gawx
02/19/2020
The National Weather Service says snow will be the common denominator across the Great Smoky Mountains National Park region come Thursday.
Gatlinburg is expected to see rain and snow likely before 8 a.m., then all snow as temperatures fall to around 31 by 5 p.m. The chance of precipitation is 80 percent on Thursday, and Gatlinburg could see possible snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches.
Thursday night, Gatlinburg should see rain and snow likely before 9 p.m., then a chance of snow between 9 p.m. and midnight, with a low around 21. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent Thursday night, with possibility of new snow accumulation of less than a half inch.
On the other side of the park, the Weather Service is calling for a winter storm, suggesting Waynesville will see snow, mainly before 4 p.m., with a high near 34. The chance of precipitation is 80 percent, with possible snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches.
Thursday night, Waynesville is expected to see a 30 percent chance of snow, mainly before 9 p.m., with a low around 18. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch is possible.
Newport will see rain and snow, becoming all snow after noon Thursday with a high near 39. Possible snow accumulation is expected to be less than a half inch. Newport will see a chance of rain and snow before 11 p.m. Thursday night, then a slight chance of snow until midnight, with a low around 22.
Areas of higher elevation are expected to see greater snow accumulation, and snow could be falling as far south as northeast Georgia and as far east as North Carolina coastal counties.
At least one weather model suggests North Carolina will see much more moist air, suggesting higher snow accumulations. The National Weather Service prediction for snow has been inching up since yesterday as the storm possibility solidifies.

Do you have any historical info?
Continuing our series of posts focused on our African American Experience in the Smokies research project, we are asking for your help.
In the Hidgon Family Cemetery in the Hazel Creek area of the park, you will find the grave of "A Black Man." Near the Mingus Mill is a cemetery with six graves marked simply with field stones, thought to be a cemetery of enslaved people from the 1800s. What are the names of the community members interred at these locations? We do not know.
This research project is facing common obstacles: the African American members of the communities are nameless and faceless in typical historical records. Documents like birth/death records, photos, personal journals, family Bibles, and similar forms of historic reference materials have been difficult to uncover, because for many of the African American people of the time, they just don't exist.
This is where you might be able to help. Do you have records, photos, or personal stories of the African American communities in and around Great Smoky Mountains National Park? Are you willing to share with us? Please contact Rhonda Wise at [email protected].
