nobody wants a repeat of the gridlock that happened when people didn't go home before the ice started last decade.

2/16/2015 11:17:06 AM

Key facts I need to know:

1) When is this shit starting?
2) How long will it keep me out of work?

2/16/2015 11:26:35 AM

Lows wednesday and thursday night are 5 and 7 degrees. If we see significant ice. It ain't going anywhere and black ice will be a problem during commutes for the next week

2/16/2015 11:32:04 AM

Yeah below 20-22° salt does nothing to prevent freezing.

2/16/2015 12:16:08 PM

Stupid work from home crap #fwp

2/16/2015 12:50:52 PM

looking more and more that the Raleigh weather shield will be in full affect and this will be a lot less than expected

2/16/2015 1:56:49 PM

ha this image makes it look like the raleigh weather dome has gained some power.

2/16/2015 2:07:47 PM

Charlotte weather dome is happening too

2/16/2015 2:10:33 PM

That's exactly what the models have been showing and the reason the precip isn't expected until 4 ish. None of that is unexpected, triangle should still see .5-.6" of liquid

2/16/2015 2:15:48 PM

Raleigh Dome... Engaged

2/16/2015 2:22:05 PM

Very light snow in Greensboro coming down. All of it's sticking, so a very, very thin coating on deck/grass, etc.

2/16/2015 2:28:21 PM

Raleigh weather dome activated...

2/16/2015 2:28:34 PM

Heat island effect like a mofo bitches....


If you have gas heat at your house CRANK THAT SHIT UP!!..

I know my boiler flues are doing their job today...

Gonna make some Acid Snow tomorrow when PSNC makes us run on Diesel. WOOO WOOO!!!

2/16/2015 2:29:06 PM

.5-.6" of liquid is less than the 1-4 inches of snow, with an additional .25-.5" of ice, that they've been calling for over the past couple of days

2/16/2015 2:29:32 PM

2/16/2015 2:37:28 PM

bunch of debbie downers in this thread.

2/16/2015 2:38:19 PM

I want snow

it's been waaaay too long

2/16/2015 2:43:10 PM

Will have to see if this first little area is actually hitting the ground or not if so may be starting a little earlier than expected.

2/16/2015 2:46:53 PM

Occasional flakes spotted in Chapel Hill.

2/16/2015 3:06:05 PM

DOWN WITH THE DOME!!

2/16/2015 3:16:07 PM

Southeast Cary reporting in: Nothing yet, traffic normal.

Reaching the ground now off Kaplan in far northern Wake County.

2/16/2015 4:57:45 PM

Sticking to the sidewalk and my parking lot off Avent Ferry

2/16/2015 5:12:17 PM

the white stuff is sticking

ibt

thats what she said

2/16/2015 5:15:26 PM

it was snowing earlier. Already sounds like it has turned to freezing rain.

In Apex

2/16/2015 5:17:53 PM

Listening to spotter reports, seems theres a temp line abouts ten-ten road in wake county. North of it is snow, south is sleet. Ive not heard any reports of rain or freezing rain in the area.

2/16/2015 5:19:32 PM

I'm north of ten ten and have sleet now. Garner, NC checking in.

2/16/2015 5:21:34 PM

Reports of accidents already piling up in Raleigh. I guess the governor declaring a state of emergency at 2 o'clock today still was enough to tell people to leave work before 5 p.m.

And don't give me that my boss would fire me bullshit. if you're that replaceable at your job that your boss would be willing to fire you because you're more concerned about your safety then work then you've got bigger problems than an ice storm. And I'm not talking about emergency workers or people that are needed at this time

2/16/2015 5:36:32 PM

Snow downtown has already stopped, this storm sucks

2/16/2015 5:36:57 PM

I'm out in Brier Creek. The snow has stopped and it is now sleeting/icing.

2/16/2015 5:46:16 PM

We are right on the edge of precip right now. Worst is hitting charlotte right now. Just be happy its already snowing which means its probably not gonna stop here.

Maybe North Charlotte. South Charlotte has barely gotten shit. But they didn't really predict the big stuff until about 6pm.

2/16/2015 5:54:35 PM

The 8 inches did not come through last night.

I'll keep my eye out this evening.

[Edited on February 16, 2015 at 6:13 PM. Reason : eye--damnit]

2/16/2015 6:02:59 PM

You'll have to settle for the 2-3 you're probably used to.

2/16/2015 6:04:19 PM

0, sir.

2/16/2015 6:32:53 PM

^^^ otw

2/16/2015 6:38:23 PM

I had to google "otw." Good joke.

But no jokes, please.

Stay safe, guys! It could get crazy out there!

2/16/2015 6:41:22 PM

Come to Boone if you want snow. If you can get up here.

2/16/2015 7:08:54 PM

mostly rain in charlotte. Ran into a bit of sleet just north of charlotte.

2/16/2015 7:15:40 PM

day off work tomorrow regardless of how the rest of the "storm" turns out.

2/16/2015 7:16:51 PM

so far its weaksauce

aint even sleeting now

2/16/2015 7:23:06 PM

And yet you look at the radar and its all STORM OF THE CENTURY yet nothing is falling. If it was 40° out we'd have had an inch of rain already.

2/16/2015 7:39:44 PM

Nothing falling here in FV

2/16/2015 7:42:04 PM

Fairly impressive

2/16/2015 8:00:37 PM

Last time I went outside there were probably 2.5 inches on the ground. I'll see how much is there in the morning when I go to work.
