It would not be a surprise to see frost in places across the NC foothills and NW Piedmont,” NWS forecasters said Friday. “The air will be cold enough aloft that a few snowflakes are possible at the highest elevations of the Smokies and Mt. Mitchell, but no accumulation is expected. Precipitation chances should end as the short wave moves east in the afternoon.” Snow was confirmed early Saturday along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and a temperature of 29 degrees was recorded on Mt.
