  1. I'm 55yrs old and I grew up in Brown Summit, NC which is just northeast of Greensboro. When I was in the 7th grade at NE Guilford Jr High we had three ice storms over a 5 or 6 week period.  Two of the storms were devastating.  No power for a week, twice.  Sleeping by and cooking using the fireplace.  I had a 10 gallon fish tank and most of them did not survive.  It was crazy!

    So I live between Reidsville and Greensboro. Not trying to ask a imby question, but wondering how to prepare. At this point in time is it likely for the northwest Piedmont too see an ice storm? Just would like to be ahead of the curve. Anyways I very much appreciate everyone who contributes to this forum. 

    Have you always lived there? I grew up in Brown Summit

    If it’s any indication of what might happen, the birds have really been going to town on the feeders today.  And as someone infamously once said, the clouds have had time to heal since our last system.  :arrowhead:

    What ever happened to Brick???????????

    Is there such a thing as sustainable cold in the south? 

    Rarely but it can happen. I am 53 years old and lived in the Triad, Brown Summit as a kid, my entire life. When I was in elementary school in the mid 1970's we had one unusually cold January. It was so cold that we spent about three straight weeks skating on farm ponds. Our families had several weekend skate parties. A local tobacco farmer would invite everyone over to skate at night. He would turn the heat on in one of the tobacco bulk barns and have a bonfire as well. It was a blast and something we may never see again in my lifetime.
