Being from Hickory I always wondered what went on at meat camp. Then I drove through one time and realized absolutely nothing goes on at meat camp.

So, kind of like Hickory

As one who is also FROM Hickory.......a great place to be FROM

Very fine, light snow just south of Hillsborough.  24 degrees and falling.  Don’t expect much here but excited for folks in the coastal plain.

Still sleet just S of Hillsborough.  25.5

Send the wife to the in-laws & stay home.  Win-win.

Ice accumulating & 30 in Hillsborough. Not as much (yet) as last week but looks like a few more hours of this could ge messy.  Hopefully temp will tick upwards.

I just wish we were starting off today with a lower temperature/DP.

Yep, where is the cold coming from?  Doesn’t seem like evaporative cooling has low enough DP to get the job done.

Sun peeking through the remaining hazy clouds

It has been snowing hard with large flakes for most of the last 3 hours.  2.5-3” more so far and still snowing.

Flurries in Hillsborough. 

38/25

Any recent reports on condition from topsail, Snead’s ferry, swansboro?

Serious winds in that dropsonde.

Is there an adjustment that needs to be made or is that truly a 177mph wind reading?

I was just kidding but I had a co worker once who said in November that his deer hunting wasn’t going well because the time had changed and the deer were confused. He was a S.C. graduate. 

Actually I'll buy this one.  Animals are keenly aware of human habits and patterns.  When we abruptly change our patterns it throws the animals off there schedules which often revolve around us.  Nonscientific observation: roadkill spikes around time changes.

Anybody know what’s going on with Fishel?  Just heard he was going to be out on medical leave.  Folks at WRAL are praying for him.  I’ll offer the same.
