Wintry December 23-26 2022 Winter Weather and Cold

So will places in the southeast with large lakes see lake effect snow showers out of this?
 
I think the craziest thing along with temperatures will be frequent strong wind gusts. NWS Raleigh shooting for frequent 40-45 mph gusts with a period of 50-55 mph gusts associated with the front. That’s going to rival Ian. We’re going to have some power outage issues I would suspect.

I agree with wind impacts. I remember when the Christmas Artic Blast of 1983 came through, the wind just kept blowing all day that Saturday. (Christmas Eve) . Fortunately no power loss, but also it had been dry for a good bit preceding it. This time with the wet soils from last few weeks issues could be more significant.

We had lots of trees loosened up by the tropical season too

I remember from the 1980 cold snaps losing gas every time the temp dropped to the single digits due to the gas pressure. Central air home so no heat during the cold snaps. And yes it would take days sometimes over a week for the pressure to build back up to get heat again in the houses. I think they do better with the gas pipes and pressure now.

What are suggestions for people in a manufactured home like myself? Anything I should do differently?

I own a manufactured home as well. I’m dripping all faucets through the weekend. It’s well insulated but the rooms away from the center of my home tend to get a little cooler so I’ll prob run my infrared heater as well. This should be the coldest it has been for my house since I bought it in 2017.

Yeah my house seems to do the same temp wise. I'll definitely be dripping all the faucets. My main concern is the main water line freezing up with it being under the home. Fingers crossed ?
 
I really hope GSP updates their point forecast in the morning to show the daytime temperature drop that’s coming Friday for the CLT area. To read it right now, you would think it’s gonna be in around 40 during the afternoon when it may well be about 20 degrees colder

Yeah. That's ridiculous. I thought the same as well. Great point.

Yep looks better.
 
I'm going to be traveling across the US tomorrow for the holidays & I'm gonna do my best to keep tabs on this potential light glazing event in the mountains + foothills of NC. Hopefully, some of you here can help be my eyes + ears tomorrow, as I won't have internet access for the bulk of the day & I usually check mPING pretty religiously in these trace/low-end events like tomorrow.
