The Weather Thread

[nycfan]

Haven’t posted here for quite some time, but this snowstorm is a good reason to return.

Anyway, Brad Panovich (meteorologist at WCNC - Charlotte) said earlier this week that the expected wind speeds would make accurate snow measurements difficult to impossible. That said, at 2:15 pm I took 19 measurements here in southern Rowan County in open areas and compiled the following stats: range: 4.5 - 7.5”, average: 6.6”, median: 7”.

We have had near whiteout conditions for the past two hours. An hour ago my daughter took a photo of snow on a patio table at her home in northern Mecklenburg County and it appeared to have approximately 6” of snow.

Welcome back!

I’ve been back in N.C. 20 years. This is the worrst weather event in that entire time. God hates us , if I still partied I would get super fucked up tonight .

I took 19 measurements in Raleigh and got:
Range 0.00 - 0.00
Average 0.00
Median 0.00


In case y’all couldn’t tell, this is pissing me off. If I have to deal with 15 degree temps, then I want some god damned snow.

So far - 2 massive winter storms and we have gotten 0 snow and 2” of ice. It’s insane how the rest of the state is getting snow and we get none of the good stuff.

There is a slight overhang over the screened porch door, so not quite as deep there.

I’ve got probably 7 inches and it’s still pouring snow in the Triad. Wild that Raleigh is getting nothing. Hate that for the snow lovers there, I’d be annoyed.

3” in pittsboro

Always best to assume that we won't get more than a dusting of snow in Wake County, especially in the SW corner. It's like we're trapped in a snow globe but the snow is always outside the glass.

It started here (Onslow County) around 1:30 and hasn't let up. I'd say we have a solid 4" which feels significant in such a short timeframe.

Where in Onslow? I graduated from Dixon High School.

Jacksonville.

Jacksonville.

The strangest double feature I ever saw was at Tarawa Terrace in 1970. I guess in honor of the Marines on their way back and forth to Vietnam they did Patton and M*A*S*H. Patton got heckled a lot more than M*A*S*H.

I wish they would have had an episode of The Office where Jim keeps saying "that's what she said" in self deprecating ways. Like as a response to someone saying, "It wasn't as much as I expected." Have both Michael and Dwight laugh at Jim the first time but start to get frustrated because Jim clearly doesn't know how it is supposed to be used. All the while Jim is just trolling them.

But … on the bright side it’s some easy math.

That’s an all-timer

Ha! Had had the same thing in my backyard around the same time you posted this.

Do you think you two live in the same house and just don’t realize it?

The Raleigh dry slot is one of the most mind blowing things I've ever seen

Here in Orange, about 3 inches and still coming.

Has there been a wellness check in CarolinaFever today?
