I’m too afraid to see.

It can’t get any worse.

I know why we failed: we believed in snow maps actually showing snow in the NC foothills. That should have been the first red flag models were out to lunch

Still can’t believe some of us went from two feet of snow to a cold rain in 12 hours.

Plot twist, he had the map upside down.

If this holds this is going to be a huge hit to the weather industry in terms of the social media group. Local Mets have been banging the drum against them for a while. This might be if not the death blow a big shot to the attention they get

Reminder it’s not over and… sleet piled up is white.
 

I do worry like heck about icing. Sometimes I think yall like to cliff jump and melt on the floors just so when things wobble back some, you get a high and rejoice.

I am pulling up a chair in here this morning. Waking up to this is absolute dog shit.

It still looks like the most impactful winter storm since 2018. Maybe worst ice storm since 2022. Snow is fun. Ice isn’t. Hope people following on here realize that the cliff dive here isn’t bc the storm is going away. It’s because most on here are staring down the barrel of a crippling ice storm. Mets will absolutely not get dinged for ringing the bell of a major storm coming that in all likelihood will cause much worse impacts than if it had stayed mostly snow

Exactly, I ordered a chainsaw on Monday and a snow shovel. I might need the back surgery too after I cut up all these damn trees.

I'm wavering on going out and getting a generator this evening.  We just bought a house in Fayetteville (GA not NC) a couple weeks ago and I'd planned to eventually get a transfer switch setup installed over the summer (and maybe even a tri-fuel generator to run off natural gas).  Wasn't planning on staring down the barrel of an ice storm this quickly.  Need to go ahead and get the grill hooked up so at least we could cook something if needed.

Part of me hopes that living near a hospital and a data center means our power would be back on pretty quickly but that's wishing...  got spoiled by our old house outside Savannah; even during hurricanes and the 2025 snowsleetice storm we somehow never lost power.

Nevertheless I'm pulling for this thing to just keep moving north (sorry NC folks).  Give me rain if I can't have either snow or sunny and warm.

It would be pretty funny after all the hype if this ends up just being cold rain with a little mix 

Sold, take my money. If I can't have any snow, I at least want my power!

I BRING THE MOJO.
