NC slopes are more icy than snowy, so this could be a good time to try them out.

Hence why I've never bothered.

Out west skiing is much much better, runs are longer, lifts faster, weather better.

Only reason to ski here is because you are not there, haha.  Going up Saturday evening and staying till Monday would give you a pretty good Sunday, but you would miss 3 games, haha

Snow always makes me hungry for French Toast.

Snow is trending up.  AccuWeather has us at 6 inches and Ventusky at 2-3 inches.  Neither of them had us getting any snow accumulation this morning.

Accuweather says 4-8 now for Burke

Weather Channel still says 8-12

but I've never been in NC.

If you've never been in NC for a storm like this, fug the snowboard and get out your camera. You will see some YouTube worthy behavior brought to you by the worst drivers in the country (without weather).

Throw some ice and snow on the road and it's like fugging Armageddon.

Charlotte will get fuging smacked by this storm.  Projected close to an each of Ice and another inch of snow with up to 40mph wind gusts.

I grew up in NC. I've seen it.

This could be the Texas cold snap all over again. There's gonna be massively widespread power outages. Hell, I might go buy a generator myself. Yep, that's the excuse I'll give the wife.

Yea, I almost got one yesterday but decided to pass.  Good news is 20 miles south of Charlotte they will get just rain so that should not impact any services or logistics long term in our area.

I've been wanting to pickup a generator for awhile now. This would be a good excuse. It would knock me out of the running for a new welder anytime soon though. Hmmm...

AccuWeather is increasing ice probability in Charlotte to almost an inch.  Oof
