It's still there...

After we get through tonight's/tomorrow's snow and/or snow and rain event, the long range forecasts show a possibility of more snow and/or snow and rain events clustered around February 19-22 and later at the end of the month. Still a little too far ahead to know when the next one will be after tomorrow, but more are on the way.

If snow means Duke plays well, then this is our year!

Calling for two inches overnight. I am pleased.

Me too. Got another work-from-home day tomorrow, so I am totally content to stay in by the fireplace with my laptop and watch it be wintry out.

Do you remember years ago (don't remember what year, 70's something) we were home playing Virginia? During the game, Art Chandler announcerd "Ladies and gentlemen, it is snowing in Durham, NC". The snow started in the 1st half. We beat uva. Buy the time we got out, we had several inches of snow. Well before we reached Orange Co. you couldn't tell the road from the shoulders or ditches. Some how we made it back to Efland. DukePA was in the yard making snow angles. She was about 16. She may have been drinking something beside Pepsie's. I don't want to hear what.

2 inches on the ground already, and the university is on 2-hr delay.

Expecting 6-8" today, missed out on last week's snow but not so lucky this week.

BTW, does this mean there won't be drought conditions in the Southeast this year?

They declared our drought over after the 10,000-year flood or whatever that we had last fall.

Yes, I was there for that 9P game. It was so closely fought, nobody cared about what was going on outside. Once the game was over, we went outside to discover the streets vacant and covered with snow. Getting out of the football concourse parking was a bit of a challenge that night!

My university closed classes a few minutes before I planned to come in.

WHEW!!!

If the predicted snow actually fell here, it wasn't during the daylight. The transition to rain has been completed and the streets are quite wet. Next possible storm: February 22-23.

Right now it's really pretty outside, mid 50's, lots of melting snow. By early this afternoon it's supposed to get ugly with lots of rain, wheee.

Low 70's here today with "milky" sun. Lows all week will be ~46, vert very cool for here

Still getting periodic snow here. Yesterday, we had snow bursts off and on all day. Sunny skies then whiteout conditions. In the space of an hour, there were 3 areas with multi-car pileups - 30+ cars each.

Here is a link to pictures of one of them: http://www.nbcactionnews.com/Photo.aspx ... ec17626b2a

Couldn't figure out how to get a picture here. It looks like a kid just dropped 40 of his Matchbox cars in a pile. No serious injuries. Pretty amazing to watch - the emergency personnel were on the roofs of cars and pulled people out of sun roofs, passed toddlers across cars to people on the ground. Fascinating to watch - especially sitting on my sofa and not in a car.

When I left Winston Salem today, around 4:45 pm, it was sleeting, showing and I think raining. We did drive out of it on the way home. How, in Efland, something frozen is falling with rain.

We had just about everything today in WS: snow, rain sleet, sunshine, heavy clouds.

Hope you get the snow. Have you been to the grocery store yet? Did you get bread and milk? And lot of BEER? What are you putting on the grill for snow day?

CathyCA and I grilled steaks after the game on her snow covered deck, Saturday night. They were yummy!

Probably.

(Guess who is less than thrilled?)

Now, now.... just because I brought my snow shovel thinking I could escape this stuff! At least I get to get snowed in with you this time!

I think the snow is beautiful, but I've been overdosed with it for the last couple of weeks and would much rather be doing the following about now:
