I'd rank the St. Louis free throw meltdown in the tourney as particularly painful. Admittedly I'm a UNC fan, but tend to pull for State in the tourney (because I'm weird). It was a slow, methodolical, torturous loss. The fact it was done using a strategy similar to what Valvano used on teams during the '83 title run just made it that much more awful. In fact, that game reminds me a little of this storm. Big lead for awhile, and then a slow but deliberate trend of the warm nose making a comeback. You saw it coming, but you didn't want to believe it. But deep down, you knew it probably would.

I'd love to see 5''-6'' of sleet/concrete. That stuff would last for almost 2 weeks. No power outages. Epic sledding potential. As long as it's not plain ol' rain, then I say bring it on!

Fair enough! That's not too far from these parts. Looks like I'm heading up 501 to do some snow chasing this weekend.

Lol, I saw you sneak in the 24'' up there. I can't tell where that is. Congrats Roxboro??

Hahaha. Can we trust that model?? I've heard it's got bad run to run consistency.

Besides the French, German, Canadian, UK, & Japanese models is there any other ones we can drag out? If there's an Australian 00z model showing jackpot for RDU, I wanna know about it.

I love it when the non-serious/banter thread is just as informative (if not more so) than the main discussion thread.

That's not funny, because that will probably happen. Or maybe it IS funny, because of the same reason. It's gonna be a long 48 hours...

Yes sir! I thought they did a great job recreating the look of the original trilogy. Seeing the walkers again was also a treat. Won't say much more because I'm afraid I'll create spoilers. Be interesting to see how it holds up years from now.

Lol. I agree. I also like the one with the staypuff marshmellow man. I consider it a close 2nd.

First question about soil temps in the storm thread. It's starting to get real, ya'll.

For the Triangle, looks like we can stop worrying about if there would be a NW trend. Now we can start worrying about mixing issues. Wooooooo!

I've seen the JMA mentioned a few times. I bet that one still shows a doozy. And if it doesn't, then who cares? It is the JMA after all..

Wait, isn't there a Para NAM too? Double the chances of getting NAM'ed.

Sigh..ain't that the truth. And a good reminder a NW trend tends to be much more beneficial to those on the 'good' side of I-85 in SC/NC/VA than those of us on this side. I'd much rather miss this storm because it's supressed than being just outside of the transition zone and getting rain at 33. But nature doesn't care what I think. We'll just have to wait and see what she does. How about #slightNWtrendFTW ?? Would that work?

All joking aside, here are some random thoughts FWIW: 1) Suppressed storms do tend to trend a little NW as we get to the event. 2) Everybody wants snow in their backyard, and some (not all) tend to be biased towards forecasts/solutions that deliver it. 3) It wouldn't be a bad thing for a storm to miss central/west NC and give GA/SC the goods. If I and others in my area complained/whined too much about those to our south getting snow, we'd be no better than those in the MA complaining when we get snow instead of them.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You take that back!
