I was very young when the storm of the century came through, so I don't remember the prelude to it. How many day's in advance did we know about it?

About 4-5 days if I remember correctly.

I have watch videos of our old snows in the 80’s/90’s and laugh at what we called radars back then. Amazing how much the technology has advance over the years.

Yea they would draw the maps out with a pencil. I don’t think kids theses days even know what a pencil is.

Freezing rain can be a tricky deal around here. I know the models have improved a lot since this happened, but I remember once when I was in high school we were forecasted to get a cold rain, and I ended up stuck on the school bus on the way to school that morning because of freezing rain. A deputy sheriff had to take me home, and there were wrecks all over the place.

The Triangle hasn't had a really bad ice storm since the December 20002 one. We used to have them a lot more frequently before then.

Ok Brick.... if you can explain why zr can be a tricky deal around your area, using something to back up this theory, I will leave this post be, otherwise I'll move it to banter. Go...

Really? I give up.
 
I remember December 2002 was a bad ice storm. Big wedge and lots of precip. Lost power for a few days. I never got stuck on a bus. That would suck.
 
Does it matter what the weeklies show?? Winters over

Me too actually. At least what you post is factually correct. The amount of wrong information posted on here -- and accepted with no hesitation -- is more than I can take most of the time. My colleagues make fun of me constantly for posting on here, but no one likes to talk shop like I do. And all my close meteorologist friends have moved far away ?. I don't get why you're made out to be such a bad poster when I can name five or ten more that literally drive me to the edge virtually every post.
 
Punting the entire winter on January 10 is ridiculous. Especially since the second half of January looks cold and possibly active.

Why would someone make fun of someone for posting on a weather board? That seems weird.

Don’t listen to those guys at work...outside of their job, the only person who talks to them about weather is their mother. You’ve got us!!!
