Well I guess I won't be seeing anymore snow since I'm headed back home to Alabama from Asheville NC...13.5 inches fell during the storm north of town and I tell you that's the most I've ever seen... I just wish I can be at home and received that much but oh well
 
If everyone can keep my dad in prayers, my dad was driving and hit one of those yellow cones, so he got out of his car to move the cone from the middle of the road and a car struck him. He's in the hospital. Thanks in advance.

I’m sorry to hear that, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

That is awful. Hope he has a quick recovery.
 
Man. These prizes being given away are so random.
Snow blowers.
Braves games
bastardi books
apple tvs

What in the Hell is going on..

My guess is there is likely a slightly used cat coming soon!

DONT FORGET THE FURBY!

So, my company's main campus in RTP is closed today, but my office on Capital Blvd opened at noon, even though most of the folks that work here have to come from Durham.

I know Allan Huffman would not come over, but he hardly posts there anymore, either. Matthew East would be a great addition. But I think we can have a great group over here.

Not blowing smoke but of all the forecasters I know of in and around the Triangle, there are three I consider myself to usually most closely align with. Allan Huffman, Phil Badgett (lead forecaster at NWS-RAH) and @Webberweather53 . I'd love to get Allan and Phil to both join - in my younger days I learned many, many things from reading their discussions, and was super fortunate to get to work with Phil for a year and had a lot of good conversations (and some hilariously funny stories that can't be shared publicly).
 
It bugs me when I hear someone say "it's not even winter yet" when in fact it is Met winter and that is exactly what we are speaking of, meteorology.... especially when I hear a met say it. Maybe I'm wrong but it still bugs me Lol

The Mets also should include Mar. in the meteorology winter imo.
 
I would really like a do over on having a White Christmas in LaFayette, although I know it’s unlikely to happen. I had fun during that Christmas but the things that happened surrounding it were not great. My aunt’s boyfriend gave us all food poisoning with his cooking, sending my grandma on that side of the family to the hospital for a period from it, I had an odd allergy that would flare up when I went up there in my mid-late teens involving flea bites and I had a bite on each eyelid by the time I got home (I think the fleas thought I was sweet), and to top it off, my cousin’s wife and my aunt got into a catty fight when we left. They’re on good terms now, but for a few years it wasn’t great.

So, please God, give us another southeastern White Christmas this year, where there’s no nonsense going on and I can just enjoy it and enjoy being with family.

Agreed, I consider winter to be December, January and February. Spring to be March, April and May. Summer to be June, July and August. And fall to be September, October and November.

I guess it really depends on your location. If you live in Gainesville, FL, for instance, Summer is May, June, July, August, and September.
