I miss that place, was stationed in Bridgeport California for 1 year, USMC cold weather training center. SN on the ground 10 months out of the year, and imagine they are in the heart of this! Don't miss the early am runs in shorts and skivvies, but do miss the SN. :(

Roads worse this morning than yesterday with the fog/freezing mist, very icy. Low this morning was 29.8 and only reached 33.8 for a high today. Fog has already building in with a current temperature of 31.1 Looks like tonight will be a repeat around here.

Same here. Like to lost it on 2 seperate occasions this morning. Yesterday it was crusted up enough to get some traction. But that very thin smooth layer is death. My big Dodge is no match for it. In fact I'd been better off in a car this morning (no weight in back).

Robert/Mets Weather NC look at this radar loop and notice the piece of energy coming straight North to South around the boothill of Missouri at a rapid pace. I looked on the last sat pic weather Nc posted before sunset and saw it as a seperate little entity. I want type what radar loop showed something similar about 10 years ago, that showed up and no model had a clue. Just Curious what your take on it is. thanks/ im probably just imagining things

Raleigh reached 42 today, Greensboro got up to 40, but Charlotte really overachieved at a shocking 52 degrees today.

Yeah, I went to the airport at CLT today to pick up my grandma (who is in for Christmas) and was shocked how warm it was. My car thermometer read 55! When I left GSO, it was in the upper 30s and when I got back around 6 PM it was 36. Now it's below freezing and some ice is refreezing on my driveway.

:thumbsup: down to 39 but still a ways to go :devilsmiley: watch the radar blossom this time with tons of precip while we hover right at 32 or 33 after being in the low teens and mid 20s for highs :blink: my winds seem to be coming from your area so keep on dropping and sending it this way

I'm holding at 40 for the last 3 hours or so. Checking obs across the Southeast shows a warm pocket over all of SC and immediate CLT region where its not dropping. Dewpoint is 38 so fog is coming I think. Colder air to the north and east and west, just this nice little warm, humid bubble in the lee.
