Spring!

NCSU/Triangle is expecting a 'nasty ice storm' so that should significantly lower the attendance for the Wake game at NCSU tomorrow
 
NWS

FIRST GUESS ACCUMULATIONS FOR WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY IS 4-6 INCHES.
THERE IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY A SECTION OF THE FORECAST AREA COULD SEE
8-12 INCHES. WHERE THE HIGHER TOTALS WILL BE AND IF IT WILL HAPPEN
WILL DEPEND ON THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM. SINCE WE ARE DEALING WITH A
5TH-6TH PERIOD EVENT AND SOME MAJOR QUESTIONS NEED TO BE
ANSWERED...WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR HEAVY
SNOW WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE...BUT ONE IS LIKELY IN THE NEXT 24
HOURS.

Sorry, that was the Blacksburg NWS. This is what Raleigh NWS has to say for Tuesday thru Thursday:
WHAT WE HOPEFULLY CAN GLEAM FROM THE
MODELS IS THAT THERE IS THERE IS THAT THIS SYSTEM SHOULD CAUSE A
MORE CLIMATOLOGICAL PTYPE DISTRIBUTION...VARYING FROM A BETTER
CHANCE OF SNOW AND ICE IN THE WEST AND A MORE PROBABLE CHANGE OVER
TO ICING AND/OR RAIN IN THE EAST. HOWEVER...THIS DOES HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO BE A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM BASED ON PERFECT PROG OF
POSSIBLE SNOW AND ICE AMOUNTS.

FROM ALL OF THIS...WE PLAN TO ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH STARTING AT
NOON ON TUESDAY FOR COUNTIES SOUTH OF HWY 64...WHICH WILL ALLOW US
TO HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW ON TUESDAY. THE
CUTOFF IN SNOW SHOULD BE SHARP AND CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO ISSUE A
WATCH FURTHER NORTH. THE INITIAL WATCH WILL BE GO THROUGH THURSDAY
AT NOON TO ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE EVENT. HOWEVER...WE WILL HIGHLIGHT
IN THE HWO/SOCIAL MEDIA/ETC THAT A WATCH WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR
ALL OF CENTRAL NC FOR THE WEDNESDAY THURSDAY TIME FRAME AND IT WILL
BE ISSUED ONCE WE HAVE BETTER CONFIDENCE IN WHAT THE IMPACTS WILL BE.
 
Blacksburg and Greenville/Spartanburg NWS cover the piedmont, Raleigh covers areas to the east. Just keep that in mind when reading BSF4L's posts.

The NWS also tends to be pretty conservative and will wait as long as possible to call it. I think Drew was calling for a significant event, what, 5 days ago, while the NWS had basically nothing happening.
 
It is "snowing" on campus now. Definitely saw some flakes on the walk from Campus Grounds to the law school.

Prepare yourselves.
