Ah yes, Professor Burns has entered the chat. Thanks for imparting that wisdom Burnsie! Regardless of flooding, part of the reason you evacuate (beyond death and destruction) is the lack of ability to provide basic services, food, water, gas, electricity for extended periods of time for large populations. Nobody needs to drown to have storm related misery, riots, death and destruction. As someone supplying emergency services equipment and support during my day job, I can tell you the disaster services industry is in a huge pickle right now and is lacking equipment because the gov't just sucked it all up for Afghan camps in the last 96 hours. I have personally supplied Quantico, Goodfellow AFB, Fort Bliss and Fort Dix this week. These folks wont be getting much FEMA help I can assure you of that.

And they have the potential to relive 2005 all over again. (I said potential) I know for sure that this is on blast all across the gulf region. Hopefully the tone of the broadcast alerts is enough to move some people out. This has disaster written all over it and folks will be waking up to their Cat 3 tomorrow morning with nowhere to go.

Love the new look and colors, very clean. Still figuring out whats new....other than the humiliation of the badge thingy.

GSP issuing the warnings ahead of that storm. Likely radar indicated, cant find any reports of TOG.

Just about time to put this one in the archives. There's nothing left to get on the long range. Spring has sprung. The 90 day outlooks for Oct/Nov/Dec are just 6 months away! Now get out there and get those weeds people!! We may need a spring rain whining thread.

Tornado warning on campus at UNCC but it looks south of campus to me. Sirens going off

Tornado warning eastern triad. Rotating cell headed into Thomasville area and then out to I85 east of GSO.

Wutchu talkin' bout Willis? I'll take my liquid in any form today. The grass seed is ready!

Well I have a frozen mix on tap here in the Triad with a high of 60° and a low of 44°. There must be some serious government testing going on. Likely to see some of that plastic snow that wont melt and just burns like they had in Texas. As long as it shovels easily I guess I'm cool with artificial snow.

Bright sunshine and 51 here in the Triad. But it sorta smells like snow, and I just mowed my yard which usually brings the snow in pretty quick. Hopefully that cloud deck rolls in soon. I'm loving my chances for some accums between star gazing sessions.

No, it was the Sarcastic Method that was used. Other than that your post was accurate.

Anywhere between 50° and 72° you wont ever hear a peep out of me. Ideal working conditions no matter the job!

Once this weekend uneventfully passes, you guys need to seek help immediately. This winter is going to scar a lot of folks. I'm going back to my previously scheduled mild and rainy spring where the weeds are already ankle high.

I think thats the first miss OTS this winter season if that verifies. Everything has either been too far north or an apps runner. I could be wrong, just dont recall anything else not making the turn this winter.

Yes, you and Buddy may be the only ones in this forum with a shot. I think there may be a recall ballot going around already to remove Virginia from the Southeast. So ya' better be careful touting all that snow.

TOP!! Time for pre-emergent and yardwork. I'm so over this winter. Lets all get outside and enjoy life asap. Daylight savings time be-gone!

I swear to dog I cant deal with this rain for the next week. And my dogs swear they cant either. I can live with no snow. But this never ending rain is unbearable. And you know damn good and well the drought will hit come June 15th.

2% snow mix here in Walkertown. Maybe 1%, but definitely a stray flake mixed in.

Its over folks. Friday's fantasy is forgotten. We dont have the storm tracks or the cold working in our favor and by the time we see the action shift to the east coast in early March we lose due to avg temps and sun angle. It will take a BIG dog to get anything at that point. Fire up the spring thread and enjoy your 60's this week across the Carolinas.

Walk away folks. Take a weekend breather. Enjoy the sun. We can all meet back here Sunday night for the big reveal. And no Kevin, I'm not thirsty for more. I'm out!

I've seen that movie before. Yes it may be cold in terms of departures from norms. But the problem is our norms go up 10 degrees in March. So a relatively cold airmass still puts us smack dab at 32.5° and rain. I'm over it. Too much mess to clean up and landscaping to do. Bring me dry, weeks and weeks of it. And not in June, July and August!!

The 7 day forecast for the Triad looks absolutely dreamy!! Here comes 60s and a big case of spring fever. Get me through tomorrow morning with no additional zr and I'll be a very happy camper.

I'll check back on Feb 26th after the late night model runs, cut whatever the clown maps show by 2/3rds, increase the the temps to 32.5° and divide all of that by zero. That is precisely what I will get.

Must have just had a sleetfest at the farm in Stuart. There was nothing but some zr on the trees earlier this morning and now the ground is covered, almost fully white, with sleet. At least a quarter inch showing on the security cams. Crazy!

Some awesome icicles on those cameras! But overall the highways look great.
