Hope you have a nice mug of hot chocolate or coffee for him.TillyGalore wrote:Correction to my post above, we have about 5 inches of snow. K68 is shoveling as we are now getting freezing rain. If we don't shovel now, the walkway and end of the driveway are going to be rock hard. So glad we didn't have plans this weekend.
Hope everyone is safe and warm.

Re: Next week's forecast
Prolly about 4 inches of snow overnight in Ral-lee and sleet falling now. Mrs. DD treated me to Belgian this AM and I concocted my own latte to accompany them.

Re: Next week's forecast
I've thought the same thing. While I understand the need to keep the public up to date on the storm, we also need a break from constant coverage. I think we should flood WRAL with phone calls if they don't show the game.shereec wrote:Oh no - I just had a (bad) thought. Since our b'ball game is on CBS, Greg Fishel will probably be interrupting the game every 5 minutes for a weather update - or WORSE, decide that weather coverage is more important than the game. EEK!!

And now the front pics. Cars, well 4X4 trucks and SUVs are moving. And apparently dogs too! BTW, that is the guy who helped us move the sofa on Thursday night!

Re: Next week's forecast
Coffee and swedish pancakes (plättar) for breakast. Then out to shovel. An inch of slush topped by 3-4 inches of snow. Sleet has been coming down pretty good all morning. Almost none of my neighbors are out shoveling. They must think it'll be no big deal to shovel all this snow with an inch of frozen sleet on top of it. They'll learn.

This is my least favorite kind of weather. I think I'll send Stevo to Harrika's Brew House to pick up a couple of growlers of whatever specialty brew they have on tap. BEER!CameronBornAndBred wrote:It is absolutely shitty outside. Pouring cold wet rain.

Re: Next week's forecast
This is all the snow we got. Plus the sleet. This combination did not make good snowballs. They just wouldn't pack.
After I took these pictures, we got freezing rain. My river oak tree (behind the garage) looks beautiful with all of the icicles dripping from it. I'll try to get pictures of it tomorrow morning.

Believe it or not, that's more than we got in St. Louis. My parents in NW AR got 8 inches, though.CathyCA wrote:

Re: Next week's forecast
It's still snowing. It's a very light snow. No rain or sleet mixed with the snow.
Re: Next week's forecast
We had a thunderstorm here about a week ago.
No snow yet.

Re: Next week's forecast
The sun is melting some snow, but with a high of 32, it's doubtful the side roads are going to clear much. Our street here is a mass of packed snow and ice.
Durham schools have already announced being closed tomorrow, which means our daycare will be closed. Guess it's going to be a three-day weekend! High tomorrow should be around 40 or so, so hopefully more roads will melt.
