what time is this supposed to start?

1/27/2014 1:49:33 PM

If Greenville gets 8 inches of snow. . .we're all going to die. Semi-costal folks don't know how to deal with snow and ice.

Not right now though because we finally had two days in a row of 40+ which wiped out all of the snow. Fear not though, it's still January and more snow is assuredly on the way.

it's that 7000 gigawatt doppler they use to measure the weather. once it gets close enough it obliterates it

we all have horrible horrible cancer now, but hey, less snow

1/27/2014 2:25:47 PM

Imma go with the dome. Since they did a show based on the raleigh dome, ya know. shhhh it's a secret.

1/27/2014 2:31:08 PM

oh please oh please oh please oh please

1/27/2014 2:47:02 PM

i'm all up in the 6-10" range

1/27/2014 2:52:57 PM

1/27/2014 2:53:59 PM

well shit, we're right on the border of the sleet region and the 10-14" region and I actually need to go to the grocery store.

1/27/2014 3:03:28 PM

i need to get beer and a few other necessities

1/27/2014 3:06:22 PM

Jeeez I never get the crazies who go buy a bunch of stuff. It always melts in 2 days. Wouldn't you normally already have food for the next 2-3 days?

1/27/2014 3:22:06 PM

I'm going to grab some beer and snack foods mostly. Just in case

This.

1/27/2014 3:33:14 PM

^luckily, us semi-coastal folks have Raleigh to take notes from on how to handle wintry situations (see the half-inch ice storm of 2005).

New Bern area still looking strong in all the predictions. Bring it on!

1/27/2014 3:52:59 PM

People can't drive in Elizabeth City when its dry; that place will be a zoo if they have 12"

1/27/2014 4:12:53 PM

^The further east you go in the state, the worse people tend to deal with snow

Boone>Greensboro>Raleigh>>>>>>>>>>>Golds/Fayette

Is there some kind of stupidity gene that prevents inhabitants of Greenville from just staying the fuck inside for 1 1/2 days?

1/27/2014 4:15:48 PM

perhaps you've never met people from there

1/27/2014 4:18:12 PM

LOL

1/27/2014 4:20:18 PM

those rednecks are going to pile into their pickups and go drive in the snow

1/27/2014 5:05:25 PM

Models are looking better for us here in Raleigh (better = more snow)

1/27/2014 5:09:25 PM

fuck your snow

I'm glad you all don't have to go to elementary school or whatever the fuck if it comes down heavily

1/27/2014 5:36:26 PM

lol

my house is located at the intersection of A, B, and D

fuck me

1/27/2014 5:36:40 PM

i'm pretty new to this area, is it safe to assume that most people here have no clue in hell how to drive in the snow? i guess i'll be taking the bus until it's less slick... don't want some hillbilly in his lift kit truck to smack into me thinking he's invincible

1/27/2014 5:45:02 PM

the bus? LOL

YOU"RE SCREWED

WE ARE GOING TO DIE

1/27/2014 5:53:12 PM

I'd feel safer dodging hillbillies.

1/27/2014 5:54:46 PM

Yeahhhh the bus isn't going to be helping you with this snow stuff

1/27/2014 5:55:21 PM

One of my favorite activities is watching fwd Civics with snow tires completely demolish 4wd trucks/suvs on 70 out in Colorado. No matter how big a truck or suv you have a fwd Fiat will still kick your ass if they've got the proper tires.

1/27/2014 5:55:41 PM

My wife had a civic once. Not sure if her tires were proper or not

1/27/2014 6:03:21 PM

i just got new front tires on my civic. will demolish you faggs.

1/27/2014 6:17:28 PM

Doubt anyone in NC would have snow tires on their daily driver. Even "all season" tires suck compared to snow tires.

1/27/2014 6:31:06 PM

welp. at least i take good care of my car and have new tires. bring it on. the bus drivers are scared of the snow too huh?

and I'm from IL and even though we get snow (sometimes heavy) pretty regularly, I've never seen anyone with snow tires.

They're everywhere in Colorado and Minnesota. I've seen them elsewhere as well. Do you actually know what they look like? They look very similar to regular tires...

1/27/2014 7:01:37 PM

Hahahaha no they don't because they are made OF snow duh

1/27/2014 7:06:48 PM

black ice!

1/27/2014 7:14:33 PM

Uh my phone weather app is saying its supoosed to start at 11am tomorrow. All the anxiety about getting snowed in at work now commences.

Maybe that person is thinking of chains?

But plenty of people have snow tires up there.

Ya actually I was thinking of chains. Maybe I'm alone. I've never used snow tires before. Have I been missing out?
