Snow flurries were falling across the Charlotte metro area this afternoon, but much heavier snow is burying parts of the North Carolina mountains.
Snowfall of about 6 inches is common in many mountain counties early Friday afternoon, and forecasters say totals could be more than 2 feet in some places by the time the snow ends late tonight or early Saturday.

If you travel to the north into Weaverville (5 min) youll see they got 5 inches this morning, more has fallen through the day.
Mount mitchell reports up to 2 feet with 5 foot drifts!
Balsom Gap (30 miles to the west) is nearly impassable
Gatlinburg has gotten hit pretty hard too.
