No you are not! Stand in there matey!

Who is going to start an OBS thread for this storm and do they feel lucky?

are you talking 6z?

You ain't the only one. Sickness maybe, but definitely an obsession.

Need that finger of precip to be pointed a little further south!

I know I'm an old guy but just want to remind y'all that this storm is 3 days away. Lots can and will change in the next 48 hours.

I remember that 1987 storm. Lived in downtown Winston at the time. Heaviest sleet I've ever seen and it was like 18 degrees

Sleet most likely because of deep freezing level just off the surface

RAH still have not updated their discussion this afternoon. I guess those boys are pretty busy...

100% this

This is one I remember

Could not draw it up any better!

Wake me up when the King shows up

We have a lot of sleep stored up...

Even if total qpf is likely overdone, still a huge crippling storm

Congrats dude

Waaay overdone west of Raleigh IMO

Until the EURO joins the party, I'll stick with it. Raleigh and east, you got a chance. Otherwise, not much.

Oh instead of chasing snow in the mountains, I get to chase it to the east of me. Not ideal.

It's just what we do...

Shoot, I would just take a good old-fashioned rainstorm at this point. Last January was brutally dry and this January is starting out the same way unfortunately.

What?!? We need cold and snow! What have you done to yourself man?
