Snow

Spoiler: it's always about the temperature!

Joking aside though, NC is always a challenge for weather forecasts because a lot of these storms are right at the freezing point.

Rain in winter is really bad for your NET

Definitely a quad 4 weather phenomenon.

I'm getting old. I read snowpom without my glasses and swore I read snowporn. Definitely had a double take.

Then, filled with hope, you went to get your glasses and were... disappointed.

Too bad you live in NC. Better get a VPN.

If it's going to be this cold out side, I at least deserve to see some quality snow porn.

Probably has Sandstorm saved on the desktop. All good.

Looks like the potential event for next week just got changed to rain. Why? You guessed it. The temperature.

In my head, that song will always be connected to the WIN filesharing saga of the early 00s.

I think you would need to drive up to Boone if you want to see any real snow on Saturday morning.

Dear Snowpom,

Tell HTTD to gtfo. We don't need snow ever again.

I have a Mexican family at work that wants to do a party on the 20th and they asked me if it was going to snow. I was like wtf, do you know where you live now and I’m not a weather guy? (they do, been here 10 years). They are planning the party.

I was excited to see the DOT trucks out today already treating I-77 in Charlotte for ice, when tomorrow's forecast calls for rain and 46 degrees. Right now is sunny and 44. Overnight low tonight during the forecasted rain is 34. Sunday is sunny and 54. Perfect use of resources on their "science". Fucking idiots.

 

[deacdiggler]

i'm excited that you are so confident in the predictive ability of weathermen that you find it "idiotic" to prepare as if their forecast MIGHT be 2 degrees off. this is a lot of growth for you my man. you used to think weathermen were morons

 

[Deacsfan27]

old man yells at clouds

literally

 

[2&2 Slider To Leyritz]

Even if the weathermen are morons, which they likely are, the ice doesn't instantly appear for the 45 minutes that the temp drops to 32 (or 30, or 28) degrees on I-77 with its constant flow of traffic. You need a lot of rain, and prolonged really, really cold for that highway to ice over to the extent necessary to be dangerous. This is basic shit.

What is a hell of a lot more dangerous is the constant flying QT debris from the landscape truck / open trailer combos that constantly run up and down that highway unpoliced.

 

[deacdiggler]

also it can certainly ice while the surface temp is 34.
