Snow

This morning when i was getting ready for work WRAL channel 5 (Raleigh, NC) said that we could see as much as a FOOT!

now i know that is total crap, but i guarantee there isn't milk nor bread left in any grocery stores...

i guess as we get closer we will see what unfolds. i could be down with some snow.


I think our weather anchors just get attention-starved and call for large amounts of snow. We haven't seen any of thing of they have called for this winter.

LOL, your not joking. this is basically all i have seen on the news. it is actually more popular than the Haiti disaster right now... amazing.

I need to stock up on liquor and beer. That is always the first thing my house-hold runs out of!

Not b/c of the ice scare, but for general safety since we have a very young child, i am keeping my eyes out for a small gas generator. Just enough to power the electric blower since we have a natural gas furnace. Anyone have any experience with setting anything like this up before?

Cheers.

be careful of the start up power draw of whatever you plug in. the generator needs to be able to handle that big of a surge or you will have problems.
 
The last time we got snow and ice, Tyler and I went out that night to help people... ended up helping a dozen people up and down hills on a few of our steep curvy roads... and then we just drove around for fun, didn't have the slightest problem either :)
Gotta love the 4hi lever...
 
any idea how far East it's supposed to travel? If it's to the coast, the little missus may want to get the Heep out of the airport....

She might want to get the Heep, the track is taking it through Tidewater and if the cold air is there then you will get dumped on. They have reduced the amount here but are still saying this storm is a monster. We are expecting 6-12 inches.
 
Last I saw was 1-3 inches of Snow for Charlotte with "significant damaging ice accretion" in addition.

Praying the power goes out at work Saturday so I either dont have to go in or get to leave early...then I can go play!

you ever watch news 14 Carolina? my good friend is a meteorologist there
 
Looks like sharp cut-off lines through NC. Just a few miles north might make the difference between 3" and a foot of snow...which is usually how it works around here.

Latest forecast this morning says 3-7" possible over night, with a switch to freezing rain adding 0.1-0.2" of ice on top of the snow. Then tomorrow, switch back to snow with another 2-4" possible.

I'll believe this when I see it.

Which airport is it at? This AM forecast for the Richmond area is putting us in the 12-16" range, but Tidewater is supposed to get hammered too.

If you're reasonably close to Richmond, you're more than welcome to park it at my place, lemme know via PM.
