mikemodeler Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 They are calling for some snow event this weekend in the Carolinas. Not sure where the storm will track so they (weather forecasters) are covering their butts by saying we could get anywhere from a trace to 8 inches! Told the wife we better stock up on food now because if they keep screaming snow on the news, the stores will be emptied by Friday morning.The upside is that we are supposed to be back to the 50's by Tuesday so whatever snow we do get, won't last long. If the snow was forecast to possibly hit us on Friday, we would be talking school and business closures, something we rarely saw growing up in Northern Illinois.

Yes the forecasters do cover their butts, however they also play up a few flakes to LOTS of snow. I'm going to stop watching the weather forecast on the news and just read the forecast in the newspaper without any fanfare from now on. It is getting old.

Tom Geiger Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 My backyard right now. Snow is coming down at a fair clip, just can't see it in a photograph. Glad I am working from home today, indoors and no where to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I can deal with snow. I don't like that ice stuff, too much damage. We had around 6 inches but it is single digit weather now, so the salt they use is not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Can you believe it? The talk is for a chance of snow flurries in Tampa. Since we're 100 miles north, we'd be in a blizzard. And it's going to be even colder going into the 30s. Nobody in Florida has a furnace. All we have are heat pumps and they don't [pump out heat like a furnace does.

Tom Geiger Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 A few inches of snow here west of Philadelphia overnight. I was surprised it was snowing when I woke up this morning. It's cold enough that it hasn't started to melt, which worked fine for me. I managed to blow off both cars and the driveway with my leaf blower.

1930fordpickup Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 It is time to bring back this old post. We are at the start of the big snow event. 2 inches down and more to go. Windy and cold just like real winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
