You aren’t kidding! Roxboro is always the sweet spot!

I hope that you’re right but the trends are definitely going in the wrong direction for us.

In our defense, Wake County is always on the dang snow line and we have been screwed over too much the last few years. I love living in Raleigh but it’s painful for a snow lover!

It’s true. Even our kids came inside and asked, “where is this heavy snow you’ve been talking about?”

This super light snow in North Central Wake County is for the birds. NWS said that we should have moderate snow now. Wrong. Why do I get my hopes up every time?

It really does seem that way at RDU. Utterly bizarre.

Well, you are still better off than those of us in Wake County!

You’re in Chapel Hill, correct? If so then I’m not sure why you’re complaining. Those of us in Wake County have legitimate concerns but you are pretty much in the sweet spot.

I feel the same way you do. Don’t worry though, I’m sure that Brick will chime in soon saying that we have nothing to worry about.

We are more north central Wake County. The last “storm” we had we struggled to even get a dusting so yes, there is a snow hole over my part of Wake County. We have friends in Apex who got almost an inch two weeks ago and we got nothing. The hole is always somewhere over Wake County.

It’s really ridiculous. I know that everyone wants snow but I would think that most people here would take pity on those of us who live in the Wake County snow hole. Ugh.

I’m there but we are having the tiniest bit of flurries but our kids are pretty much in paradise so I’m happy. I just looked out the window and it’s over. Oh well.

Ok, so Durham is seeing snow but still nothing in Wake County? I swear we can’t buy a damn snowflake here. This snow hole is really beginning to tick me off. I just want some flurries. Is that too much to ask?

Yuck. I love living in Raleigh but this is just damn pathetic on so many levels.

Ugh. I think this is mostly going on in the storm thread but I am so sick of people complaining about our local mets. It’s one person in particular but that’s all she posts. They have a tough job to and they aren’t stupid. They know how much people want snow so if they say we are supposed to get 2 to 4 inches of snow and we only get 1/2 an inch people are going to freak out. I think that their call is reasonable. It sucks but it is what it is. I really love living in Raleigh but seeing Florida get snow and Greenville probably get close to a foot really kind of ticks me off. We just can’t buy an inch of snow. Yes, I’m irritated by it so as bad as this sounds I’m not happy for people getting snow. If RDU wasn’t getting totally screwed every winter then I would feel differently but this is getting really old.

Oh in that regards then yes, you are getting screwed. I would rather get a cold rain than any ice. I grew up in Fayetteville and remember getting so mad at the kids in Raleigh who got out of school for snow when we got rain. Now that we live in Raleigh though it seems like our kiddos never get days off for snow!

Aren’t you in Wilmington? You guys are suppposed to do really well. What’s with the negativity? RDU is getting screwed in this, not Wilmington.

I’m still shocked that Wilmington, freaking Wilmington, is going to get more snow than Raleigh has over the last 2-3 years combined. We had light snowfall for about 30 minutes a few weeks ago and I have a feeling that’s going to be all we see for the winter. I love living in Raleigh but this just sucks.

I might wait a bit but yea, I’m ready to do just that. I think it’s great that our friends in GA and SC got a great snowfall this year but between that and what appears to be a coastal snowstorm it just sucks for us. Yes, bitter, party of one.

Long time lurker but living in Raleigh is rough when it comes to winter. We seem to never be far enough west and now we’re not far enough east. I’m going to be super selfish here but if the coast gets more snow in one day than we have had in several years I’m going to lose it.

If Carolina plays as poorly as we did against Georgia Tech you guys will beat us handily. That was probably one of the biggest upsets in our history. Completely embarrassing.

The bust today was even worse than Carolina's loss to GT...and that's saying something.

This truly has been an epic fail. What makes it even worse is that teachers at our kiddos school have been talking about this all week. They even sent them each a snow packet for homework the kids can do at home on Monday since they knew it would be a snow day. Nice job teachers, way to get your students hopes up only to crush them. He also loves Nerf guns so maybe will just head to target and I will let him buy a couple. That way he could just shoot at the 27 pellets of sleet we have here. Thank goodness our girls are not as obsessed with snow as he is. He told me tonight if we didn't get lots of snow overnight we were going to have to move to either Alaska or Canada. That isn't going to happen so we better get some freaking snow.

Yea, I'm totally going to complain now. We are at 32° with a sleet and rain mix in N. Raleigh and it doesn't look like we are going to be changing over to snow anytime soon. Maybe I'm just bitter but nope, I'm not happy for people in the Triad you are going to get a foot of snow. Our son lives and breathes soccer and pretty much sacrifices everything for games, practice and tournaments but tonight at his training my husband said he was a basket case. He kept running over to the window pressing his head against it looking for snow and he saw nothing. He drove his team crazy and his coach crazy but he is just obsessed. If we don't wake up with at least 2 inches of snow for him to sled on tomorrow he will be devastated. I thought that growing up in Fayetteville sucked because Raleigh always got snow but it seems like wake county always gets the screw job ever since he moved here. Sorry if you brought everyone bad luck. Rant over.

Ok then, I am happy for posters in those areas who are getting snow and feel really badly for those who aren't.
