    Would appreciate anyone posting that image so I can save it (and share it with my friends up north.)

    I'd laugh but being in Pitt County (Greenville) that's too close for comfort at this stage of the game.

    Twenty three years in Eastern N.C. (am a central Md. native,) and have yet to break the 4" barrier with snow. Either I've cursed the places I've lived in here (ILM/PGV) or it's awfully damned hard to get a decent snow in Eastern, N.C. BTW, what's the blue hand palm in your profile image? It seems to be popping up here and there lately and I've no clue what it is.

    Look at your own profile ... zero hint as to where you're located. Those who don't show their city and state are irritating. Worse yet at those who show only their zip code as if we're all supposed to know? Narcissists much?

    GFS also shows an all time record snowfall for the Cape Fear area.

    Greenville, NC keeps flipping from 3" to 12+" from model to model and run to run. This needs to stop because I'm becoming bipolar.

    Wilmington and Myrtle ... what a hoot!

    This is not the first time I've seen that modeled gap between Raleigh and the Coast. Greenville less snow than anyone? What the hell is going on!

    Now we're talk'n. Oh Canada!

    7.8" for Greenville? You gotta be kidding me. These are some weird totals for a coastal storm.

    Native of MD/DC/DE I moved to Eastern NC in 2003. Ten years in Wilmington and now thirteen in Greenville. In those twenty three years have not seen a winter storm anywhere near this strong. In fact, have not seen anything more than four inches! (Saw plenty of the tropical stuff though.)

    Hello from Greenville, N.C.
  13. Silver Meteor
    You should have enough evidence by tomorrow afternoon. If it appears a dangerous storm at hand, cancel the trip. Your daughter should understand. If she doesn't, don't make her problem your whole family's problem.

    I got lucky, the ice here in Greenville, NC melted overnight and I managed to complete my cataract surgery this morning. Still woozy and blurry but hoping vision improves in a few hours. Best wishes your surgery goes well.

    Reminds me of Stephen King's great book and TV miniseries "The Langoliers." They're coming to get you!

    20008 eh, mine was 20016 before they changed the system. It then became 20816. For the first 12 years of my life my address was "Washington, 16 D.C." despite living on the Maryland side of Mass. Ave. That was because Friendship Heights was the nearest post office. Zip Codes were created in 1963.

    Is there a movie theater and fire station near there? It looks a familiar area.
  18. Silver Meteor
    That's very different than what we've been expecting in Eastern N.C. For example it shows 0.45 ZR in Greenville when we've been expecting only 0.10 since yesterday. This would be awful!

    THE WEDGE A bit out of your range (off to your southwest) but interesting anyway, at 3K feet elevation in northwest NC (near Boone) it's 17.8/15.8 with mix of sleet/ZR.

    Spotted it Tuesday night and posted in Southeast Forum:

    Thank you for showing a Mid-Atlantic view.

    Well said. When I worked at Naval Research and Development (DTNSRDC) in Carderock, Md. we had heavy duty computer power (4 Control Data Corp. mainframes plus one from Burroughs Corp.) The "software people" were the systems analysts who maintained the computers while the actual users (the "programmers,") were scientists and engineers who used FORTRAN's powerful mathematics simply as a tool of their trade.

    Helps to put your location in your profile. I've no idea where "me" is.

    DOS you say? Gracious I haven't heard that mentioned in eons. I learned computer programming (COBOL, FORTRAN, RPG and ASSEMBLY) on an IBM 360 with DOS operating system back in the late 1970s. Well, at least I'd guess you weren't using punch cards and vacuum tape drives in 2009, right?

    Where does this physically reside in the atmosphere? How many thousands of feet up, or what general millibar area?
