by John Madewell Super storm Sandy ushered in a taste of winter to parts of North Carolina, and major snowfall in the Great Smoky Mountains.NewsChannel 9 sent a crew just outside of the viewing area in North Carolina, and the snow appeared.Flakes started falling between Murphy and Andrews, North Carolina.North of Robbinsville, NC and at higher elevation, the snow started sticking to the trees, grass and roads.Schools dismissed early. Along the Cherohala Skyway we met six students from Robbinsville High School. They were all in Will Adams' 4x4 pickup truck, headed to the top of the mountain.Adams said, "We're just going up there and having some fun."The two girls along for the ride planned a snowball fight at the top of the mountain where five inches of snow had fallen.Meanwhile, much more snow had fallen at higher elevations like Clingman's Dome.Employees at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park advise several of the roads, including major ones like Highway 441, have been closed.
