wtf. wral.com says wintry mix tonight with little to no accumulation. Weather.com and NOAA calling for anywhere from 5-12 inches.

2/25/2015 8:42:06 AM

they fucked up and put the fayetteville forecast under raleigh

2/25/2015 8:45:06 AM

I see 3-8" on WRAL now

2/25/2015 8:47:13 AM

Holy fuck 264 sucked ass. Tons of wrecks, thin sheet of ice, lots of traffic. Twas a bit squirrely getting to work this morning. Also fishtailed at 60 MPH on a 440 bridge this morning. FTS. I regret coming to work.

2/25/2015 8:48:13 AM

264 was fine when i drove in... but that was at 6:30

2/25/2015 8:57:11 AM

I left at 730 and it was nothing but a thin sheet of ice with people spinning out, fish tailing, and sliding.

2/25/2015 9:01:44 AM

Glenwood and 540 were fine. The ramp from 540 to aviation was closed though

2/25/2015 9:01:58 AM

60 mph on wet roads in below freezing weather. What could go wrong?

Good grief

2/25/2015 9:10:38 AM

Was thinking about driving across town to Wake Forest for work. Came in here and read everyone's experiences on the roads this morning; decided to sit my ass right here and not go anywhere.

Thanks guys

2/25/2015 9:10:51 AM

147 is also okay for anyone needing to get to Durham.

2/25/2015 9:11:14 AM

I am mostly concerned about the stretch of road on 54 between Weston parkway and Morrisville-Carpenter. I slid out on that hill last year and there is literally no where to go but into incoming traffic if that occurs again. I'm a terrible driver on a hot summer day ugh job why you make me go into work

2/25/2015 9:13:12 AM

Made it down US1 this morning at 6:30 with no trouble. A few patches on/under bridges. Roads were much worse going home last night.

2/25/2015 9:27:51 AM

NWS says 7.7 inch

2/25/2015 9:29:48 AM

Snow, with ice on top, with rain and then ice on top of that

Should make for an interesting consistency.

More like why are you allowing your work to force you into an unsafe situation? Would they really fire you if you didn't come in today?

2/25/2015 9:42:15 AM

Is Wral trying to lose credibility or on the slight chance it busts they can yell "we called it!"

2/25/2015 9:46:14 AM

^^ that's the kind of whiny bullshit my job needs to serve me crap that gets you no where in life

They've never been shy about doing that over the years. Definitely being conservative with their prediction because the Weather Channel has Raleigh getting 8-12 inches.

2/25/2015 9:52:48 AM

Wral is sticking to their in house model, which is fucking terrible

2/25/2015 9:57:33 AM

NOAA is even saying 5-9"' for my area, and typically NOAA is conservative.

2/25/2015 10:05:09 AM

2/25/2015 10:17:16 AM

WRAL saying 4-6" with some places receiving a foot

Covering ALL the bases

2/25/2015 10:23:31 AM

This morning WRAL basically said 1-8" inches for some areas. Why not just say it might do something if you are so worried about getting hung with the prediction?

yeah tell that to the 3000+ people who were involved in wrecks yesterday in NC trying to get to and from work.

wral

2/25/2015 11:55:23 AM

^WOW

funny thing is while sitting here watching the news they are STILL saying 4-5inches with 6-8 inches at being the highest amounts possible. lol

it's 40 degrees and sunny, it's safe to drive the speed limit now

2/25/2015 12:26:57 PM

Amen to that. People going 50 mph on I-40 at 10am this morning...sigh.

2/25/2015 12:37:45 PM

Predicting winter weather in this area has to be one of the most frustrating parts of being a met. So many variables to consider that trying to be accurate on accumulation is nearly impossible. I dont blame them for saying hey its gonna snow but it will be anywhere between 1 and 12 inches depending on your locale and how the system sets up. Especially with temps hovering just around freezing for most of the event.

2/25/2015 12:38:17 PM

keep me updated with the temperature change. want to leave work well ahead of freezing temps

looks like wral doesn't even show freezing temps today

It's spring, time for the ladies to take a few layers off.

2/25/2015 12:46:21 PM

WRAL says the snow starts after dark

2/25/2015 12:47:28 PM

The first hour or two could even be rain

Nothing is happening till at least 8, probably after 9pm more realistically.

2/25/2015 1:21:23 PM

how you know what time i leave work?

2/25/2015 1:27:29 PM

Since you didn't tell us, I'm making an assumption since 95% of people work 8-6ish. Don't be a prick

2/25/2015 1:45:25 PM

2/25/2015 1:59:06 PM

Hopefully this bullshit doesn't pick up any momentum before I get out of class tonight at 9pm. Doesn't look like it will though but who really knows.

2/25/2015 2:04:53 PM

NC Piedmont Weather is calling 8-12" across the state.

2/25/2015 2:14:28 PM

its going to be warm and we're just going to get a lot of rain...

2/25/2015 2:23:03 PM

Huffman updated his final Map

2/25/2015 2:35:13 PM

someone at work just sent something showing up to 18 inches (not sure how legit this was though)
