Congrats to everyone in NC who saw snow. Maybe the Triangle will get snow again someday.

This is actually the second time this year here.

Seriously, why do you want snow so bad?

Because it's different and the only good thing about cold weather.

If it makes you feel any better, in Greensboro this was basically the worst kind of snow: enough to make the roads dangerous and cause lots of wrecks and cause the schools to close, but not nearly enough to play in or look pretty.

Got a dusting last night in Denver NC area (about 20 miles north of CLT)

Sounds like the tsunami would hit in next 30-40 minutes (but there is not confirmation one is definitely incoming)

Eureka always gets the worst of the tsunamis on the West Coast because of its weird topography.

It’s pretty too.

Thunder snow is back. Hitting the (north) Midwest. Cantore Fever is super pumped.

Warming up this week, raining, and then getting cold again. Can't ever get the precip and cold to match up for snow.

Heard thunder this morning. Snow guaranteed within 10 days.

The 21st is the best shot, but I'm not holding my breath.

I see there is a storm signal around that day, but that's far out when it comes to weather. Funny how that is exactly 10 days from now, though.

I hate these gloomy days - the yard is now soaked and it wont dry out until late March (seriously - every damn year we get these ridiculous rains in December and without the sunlight, it just stays squishy for months).

I want snow!
