Looking back at the other day, it really was ridiculous he posted that one “ warm” when it’s the only one that’s been that way in the last week. Like I said then, the biggest issue I have with him the last several years is trying to speak in absolutes so far out.

I agree. I think he's one of the best in the biz but I agree with you

It’s easy to speak in absolutes on no snow down there, cause you will be right 95% of the time! But being in denial, when snow or cold is imminent, is just asinine!

I shouldn’t say anything but IMO that’s his “thing”. He’s the “no hype” meteorologist who has to issue 11 call maps leading up to an event because he starts out with flurries to a dusting and incrementally increases each forecast.

Like I said last night, how he handled our 1st of the 3 storms last January was just horrible. Saying as late as Wednesday that week all rain for CLT then 3 days later when the storm was 12 hours from starting he comes out with an ice accumulation map showing at least .5-.75” of accrual for the entire metro area even though all soundings and short range models were consistently showing the front end snow and heavy sleet storm that we eventually got. Also 12 hours before Michael came through the area in 2018, he said definitely no wind issues for CLT then of course we woke to a tropical storm warning and ended up with winds 60-65mph
 
What old news coverage of winter storms do y'all watch? I'm in the mood to watch some, there's a few I habitually watch but just thought I'd give something new a try.

I know that YouTube has some TWC coverage of January 1988 and I even think some local news coverage from GSP. Since you’re in CLT, you can found coverage of February 2010 which is neat because that storm arrived during the afternoon rush hour… also there is some on there from February 2014

I asked a bot to write a once in a lifetime Blizzard Warning for the NWS Raleigh
Blizzard Warning

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE

National Weather Service Raleigh NC

250 PM EST Fri Jan 1 2023

...HISTORIC BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS THE TRIANGLE OVER THE WEEKEND...

...BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 7 PM EST SUNDAY...

  • WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations of 36 to 48 inches and ice accumulations of a light glaze expected. Winds gusting as high as 60 mph.
  • WHERE...Portions of central North Carolina, including the Triangle area.
  • WHEN...From 7 PM this evening to 7 PM EST Sunday.
  • IMPACTS...Travel could be extremely difficult to impossible. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning and evening commute. Power outages are also likely, and may last for several days or even a week. This is a historic snowstorm, unlike anything the region has ever seen. Do not leave your home unless it is absolutely necessary, as you are likely to become stranded. If you are in an area that is prone to flooding or power outages, consider evacuating to a safer location.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle. Prepare for extended power outages and stock up on essential supplies. This is a once-in-a-lifetime storm, and everyone should take it seriously.
