bhamwx205 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 My quote was not meant to sound like I was calling him stupid lol. We are on the smell page and.

Not to mention running hills, watching a 250 pound grown man twist his ankle, bloody noses and people blacking out from shock and much more.. It was around 43 when we started at 9am. However, the wind continued to blow more out of the NW which made it cold. I was good until mile 10 when I had a serve cramp in my left leg (I got it stuck in the mud and as I went to pull out the leg cramped bad) but it went away quickly.

packbacker Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well the good news is we have 3-4 more days of model watching before next weekends event fizzles out and that should put a nail in the coffin of this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially looking at what the models are throwing our way in the lr. Of course they could be wrong but going by the way this winter has gone I wouldn't count on it.

Once we get into March anyone east of I-77 is toast. This winter has been consistent, why not accept the inevitable. Keep holding onto that hope, you maybe right. I am shocked we won't see a flake this year. I don't think I have looked at the NAM all winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks of your snowfall total this year. 0 I would say we are rocking the same boat, despite what your prior year statistics may be this year is a horrible winter everywhere in the southeast. So I wouldn't go by history but by this winter statistics alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazaroo Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Most of you guys are depressing and sound like Wildreman. Of course it can snow if it wants to and if it doesn't then oh well. Why be so negative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen accumulating snow (5 inches) in April. I agree with you on one thing.....this winter has been horrible, but as we all know, it can turn around quickly.

Sure there is but it's not high percentage. Of course this is my opinion. Also, I'm mainly speaking of my back yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of weeks ago I was driving home at around 8:30pm and saw the biggest and brightest meteor I have ever seen streak across the sky. I thought it was an airplane,but it was too bright and moving too fast. It was one of those moments of being at the right place at the right time.

TullyHeel Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I just read Allan Huffman's blog post for today, and was surprised to find out the snow for this weekend is still on the table. WRAL has a sunny and a high of 54 for Saturday and Sunday. I guess a lot is going to have to happen for the snow to become reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not supposed to worry about that right now. WRAL has a forecast hiogh of 54 for both Saturday and Sunday and isn't even showing rain. I know they go with the most conservative forecast this far out, but seems a lot has to happen between now and Saturday for this to really have a chance of snow around here.

So let me get this straight? Your reasoning for it's chances being low are because of a TV forecast almost 7 days away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
