I'm going to be back in Greensboro this weekend, so I'm taking a keen interest in this weekend's system. I may go skiing up in the mountains on Saturday, though.

My advice would be to go on Sunday. It’s been such a snow drought this year that people flood the slopes on Saturdays in good weather. Sunday mornings are much better

Good point. I may not go this weekend, anyways, depending on how much the summer flood in the next few days washes away the snowpack.

I’m sure they’re packing it down good prior to the biblical floods. Should be some good conditions Saturday night Sunday morning. I think me and the Mrs. are going to Cataloochee Saturday/Sunday.

Good ol’ fashion R/S line running through CAE. Everyone northwest of it getting mauled

Looked at a stream around Wichita Falls shortly after I woke up this morning, and I do say they got hit pretty good by a winter storm. Unfortunately for Brent it wasn't all snow but based off what shouldn't be fading memories I'd say there was about 4" of snow on the ground and there were a couple areas where roads actually looked trashed. There will be one day that I see that again or more, that just may not be where I was born.

As an update to the electrical "fun" that happened a few days ago, the electrician claimed that the switch was just old and that's why it went out in that area of the house (well, aren't all the switches old in the house, there's been updates but I THINK the basic electricity functions are still from the 80s-90s in the house). Guess I'll try that hair dryer again, but I'm going to sniff it too...

It’s going to take a 1 month drought to dry up my yard. My dogs hate to get there paws wet so they have being using the bathroom on my driveway. Take that HOA!

I'll take drought issues over water issues anytime.... no questions asked.
 
Flooding is a lot worse for people than your grass not looking pretty.

See there is no sense in this statement, I didn't take his comment as wishing floods on anyone. You think because you don't actually quote the statement it isn't personal but basically it is....not necessary. Thanks
 
Lol watch this actually happen. Charlotte gets completely skipped on the latest 3km NAM run, not even raining as the line of storms passes over.

If it's dry here I get forest fires, wet I get flooding. Everything is an extreme the last 4 or 5 years. Now the Euro and GFS are throwing out 12-16 inch rain totals for the d1-16 period. Last February the same thing happened. Mass flooding issues all spring and summer before late September went hot and dry and caused a flash drought with fire threats. I've had over 160 inches of rain in the last 25 months. Before that extreme drought that saw East Tennessee on fire for several weeks.
 
I've accepted this winter for what it is along time ago! If it manages to somehow snow still then awesome! But if it doesn't its not that rare. It's been 18 years out of 142 years that CLT has only recorded a tr of snow which is not measurable snow. Only recordable snow. IMG_20200205_172001.jpgBut it is kind of disturbing 9 of the 18 have occured in the last 30 years. As you see it was completely random up until 1990. Now you can see it has become a frequent occurrence. Smh

29 year stretch from 28’ to 57’ had 5 winters with a trace. 30 year stretch from 90’ to 20’ has 8. BUT this winter isn’t over yet. Doesn’t seem too far off. Let’s hope for something backloaded and keep it at 7
