Getcha bread'n'milk ready...

Maybe down south in Charlotte, but here in Winston, we have 15-20. And they spray that brine stuff everywhere before snow, so that it melts quickly. Does terrible things to your car though.

Here in charlotte, they put down ice cubes first because likes repel. Not too smart I say.

And don't forget sand. Cuz when the ice melts, mud is also fun to drive in.

Dryslot bitches..

TheSaint. Called the NC Mountains. If you lived in NC more than 10 years you know the Piedmont doesnt get snow when teh system is coming over the Mountains.

[Jase]

There are two systems, one coming from the west and one from the gulf.

[Scrumtrilescent]

So you're gonna be 0/2, huh?

[Jase]

poppycock

[Squirrel]

Yep.

no, there isnt 2 "systems"

Good model consensus exists in depicting a 500 mb low closing off

over the Dakotas on Wednesday. This progressive low will migrate eastward into

the upper Ohio Valley by Thursday...with the associated surface cold front

reaching the southern Appalachians by Thursday evening. A strong belt of middle

tropopheric winds will round the trough and cross the region on Thursday.

Fortunately...mixing should not be very deep...however...breezy to

windy conditions will likely still develop. Any precipitation

spreading in from the west through the day Thursday will fall as snow across

the mountains and the immediately adjacent foothills. Rain or snow will

be possible farther out into the Piedmont as a 1000 feet surface warm

layer develops.

Yeah, I noticed that in VA too.

WTF?

Is that so you can really see the dings and paint scrapes from the fenderbenders or is it just for the mudfun driving?

[TheSaint]

Yep.

eh...not sure that will actually happen this time...but it could. Actually the newer models are back to being a little more favorable. Amazing how hard it is to predict...thats why you always see these 30% chances with 1-2 inch accum. WTF? So there is a 30% chance we will have snow and we can expect 1-2 inches? Seems like thats greater than a 30% chance...

they dont know..in the south that is.

From Accuweather Jo Bastardi:

Keep in mind this is a widespread event. While I am identifying the swath of heaviest snows, a large scale snow event of 1-3 inches, locally 5 will fall north of I 20 from northeast Texas to the southeast US. Many in the Carolinas will see yet another snow from this. Its so cold that even in the light southerly flow, it will snow deep into Dixie and the Carolinas, a noteworthy event and a tribute to the depth of this current cold.

I saw two different local weather men talk yesterday about a gulf low that is drawing moisture into the system, which is why we're even talking about snow. Are they lying?
