Do you cook with those? Is there another plant that can be mistaken for a ramp and be harmful? Just checking in case I get a wild hair to hunt for some.

Lily of the valley is very similar and a lot more prolific.  They taste horrible so you will be able to tell pretty quickly.  Ramps also stink to high heavens so that further differentiates them.

About to go negative tilt on a five guys burger! Cold rain where you at?

Nice! Awesome burgers there. Just don't get the order of "small fries" unless you have 5 or 6 buddies along to help you eat them.

I just went strong to the rack with a Zaxby's chicken finger plate. That's good stuff right there. :)

Cold, is Char-Gill still going strong in Raleigh?  Dare I say the best burger joint I've ever been to...maybe it was just the the ravenous hunger of a college kid though

Oh yeah. There are several of them around here. In fact, if Franklin were here, I'd highly recommend it. Also, Grill 57 in Garner is awesome. I hit up Char Grill a lot when I was at State as well...along with an abundance of Taco Bell. Those were the days... :D

They have one here in Davidson (Char Grill), but the place, the burger, it just wasn't the same as what I remember from the Hillsborough Street venue.

Yeah, it would be really hard to duplicate the Hillsborough scene anywhere else. I work in downtown and drive by the Char Grill once a week on my way to Arby's.

I didn't know Char Grills were in places other than Raleigh. That's pretty cool.

I would definitely try it! There is a place here that has a three pound burger that I failed to finish. I guess my attempt to be the next man versus food failed.

MetalMan, buddy!!!  We are good.  Always we are good.  You have never said anything to do more than make me laugh :)  I just mentioned you to mess with you.  Sorry, I should have done it in banter.  I just got to writing and fell in love with my cool self, lol.  I'll try not to let it happen again :)   I'll let you know if you need to apologize for anything, but this ain't it, lol! And I appreciate your concern and I would expect nothing less from a class guy.  So there :)  Tony

A three pound burger? I would never do well with the man vs food thing. I think I could muscle down a one pounder, but anything more than that, I'd be in bad shape! I had a cousin take the 72 oz steak challenge at a steak restaurant at Myrtle Beach once. You had to eat the steak, a side salad, a baked potato, and a roll all within one hour and it was free. Otherwise, you had to pay like $35 bucks or something (which isn't bad for a 5 lb steak, if you ask me). He got about 90% of it down. I didn't see him at all the next day. I believe the food won that round. :)

But I see cold air that could be tapped. This thing may trend to a NC snowstorm.

 

 

The freezing line on the 18z GFS was initialized further N than current freezing line. This could have a big impact on precip type.

 

That storm showed up again on the 18z GFS.  I read a report that the RAOB station in Nome, AK was out of order due to elk damage.  Taking that into account, this should trend colder and stronger with time.

 

I'd go ahead and lock this one up.  I'm all in.  It's going to be epic.

NOPE, I'm not worried about 50F surface temperatures at all.  It's gonna snow!!!

That's the one, or the one after I think will bring flurries to Waycross.  There is already a gator alert out.  That cold air is much colder than modeled, and the ridge further west and much more pronounced.  At least that's the way it looked when I slammed my head with the torque wrench working under the van earlier.  I think of it as a vision, lol.

^^ There's a big High moving toward the North Pole from Russia -- a perfect position to deliver the cold during the storm -- so we should be good, amirite? :)

 

Honestly, the only question at this point is amounts.  I'm thinking 8-12" right now as a conservative estimate at this time frame.  I will revise upward as we move closer to verification date.

Well, I was thinking 10-14, with locally higher amounts....so we're relatively in the same ballpark. :thumbsup:

Is this poised to happen next winter? :D

I don't mind the blanket statements as long as the person who tossed it is willing to retract when they find out that not all fit into the same mold.  I have no problems with metalicawx in general - just the occasional annoying smug post.  I don't have him on ignore - I can say that much.

Nah man, go for being the next Bourdain.  You get to travel the world and eat whatever you want - all while being completely acceptable as an as*hole.
