I heard some are canceling because of the low wind chills. I see on weather channel they are saying a chance for more snow next week!! Someone post more of those maps showing lots of snow to get my hopes up, only to be crushed when we get flurries.

2/18/2015 11:21:58 PM

My old drafty ass house does not hang in these temps. Gas heat gets the job done, but the second it turns off the cold starts creeping back in.

2/18/2015 11:34:29 PM

Their Twitter account is really snotty.

2/19/2015 12:48:46 AM

^snotty enough to make one think its a parody account

just went outside, can confirm it's cold as bawls

2/19/2015 7:13:36 AM

Mine were nice and toasty at the bus stop at 6:45 this morning.

But I did wear thermal underwear today.

^lol.

Zero traffic on I-40 this morning. Never dipped below 70 mph. This weather can continue for all I care if the cars stay off the roads

2/19/2015 9:01:09 AM

I mean we have to assume schools will be closed tomorrow as well. Anything that didnt melt yesterday isnt gonna melt today and its only going to be even colder tomorrow morning.

2/19/2015 9:02:29 AM

North Raleigh Pwnt, stay home

Multiple cars, and highway patrol stuck on Norwood
Snow Plow stuck on Lumley
Six Forks impassable
etc...

2/19/2015 9:03:53 AM

^crap. i am supposed to be near norwood and hwy50 in 45 mins

2/19/2015 9:14:58 AM

Was North Raleigh really hit that much worse than South Raleigh? Or do they just have more hills and trees?

Moving on to the important stuff: Are we going to get snow on Monday, and then again next Saturday?

2/19/2015 9:19:40 AM

Seriously? Man, I could've eeked out another day or two off. Most of the roads I travel are fine though.

2/19/2015 9:21:00 AM

Minus my parking lot, I had no issues with Glenwood, 540 or airport blvd.

2/19/2015 9:38:13 AM

Wunderground says rain Sunday, trace snow Monday (ground will be warm, probably no accumulation) and 1-3" on Tuesday. Also, another 1-3" possible next Saturday.

Thanks, Obama

2/19/2015 9:39:39 AM

^ftw

2/19/2015 9:45:07 AM

the ABC11 and WRAL Facebook page has a bunch of videos of stuck cars

2/19/2015 9:53:56 AM

Okay weather underground... calm down.

2/19/2015 9:55:30 AM

Will black ice melt in the sun if it's 19 degrees out?

2/19/2015 10:01:21 AM

on black asphalt you will see some melting

2/19/2015 10:02:23 AM

So we should expect to have school tomorrow in wake county

2/19/2015 10:03:27 AM

If it was gonna melt it would have done it yesterday we had plenty of sun and it was warmer. If it didnt melt yesterday it was in the shade and therefore isnt gonna melt today either.

2/19/2015 10:12:08 AM

^^Probably not. Look at the videos from northern Wake county; it's not just a little black ice, some roads are still white and completely covered.

^state troopers had east bound norwood closed at old creedmore

2/19/2015 12:12:25 PM

I don't even know where Norwood road is

2/19/2015 2:29:48 PM

I had several stops on Norwood today, was fine by noon. Did bust my ass in a customers backyard, but they are out if town so I fed the fish, added water, and left

2/19/2015 2:34:58 PM

So have they cancelled school yet or what?

2/19/2015 3:00:57 PM

I'm still having a hard time believing that they're gonna cancel. The roads here in Holly Springs are perfectly fine

2/19/2015 3:24:47 PM

With the potential for more winter weather, they have to start being concerned with the make up days. No reason to cancel school for tomorrow, unless the reason is that it's too cold for buses to start. Then you just need a delay.

2/19/2015 3:48:01 PM

I know that one of our local schools is completely shady and a spread out campus, so in that particular case the campus is still completely icy

2/19/2015 3:54:47 PM

Yeah I'd imagine that being able to get to school isn't the only prerequisite for schools to reopen tomorrow. There's still a lot of ice out on sidewalks, and I'm sure student safety is a concern as well.

Can't have parents suing the school system because their precious snowflakes slipped and fell on some ice.

2/19/2015 4:52:56 PM

Heaven forbid they not buy their children boots with grippy bottoms

We're already at the tail end of the season, so I guess not much concern there.

2/19/2015 5:16:32 PM

And wake closed.

2/19/2015 5:42:12 PM

Really wake county?

2/19/2015 5:42:48 PM

Wake is closed.

But I figured delay for cold. Back when I lived in a less affluent part of town, I'd see a lot of kids at the bus stop with no coat...probably cause they left their only one for the year at school by the end of November...but still...can't have 7-year-olds kids gettin' frostbit cause their parents can't wait with them in their toasty SUVs.

2/19/2015 5:44:00 PM

Yeah, it's surely for the cold. So a delay would make sense, but outright canceling is dumb

Why would someone do something that stupid? Makes zero sense.

2/20/2015 9:10:39 AM

Kids leave coats places all the time. It gets sent to Lost and Found, never to be seen again.

Also, looks like snow is off the menu for Saturday.

[Edited on February 20, 2015 at 10:30 AM. Reason : ]

2/20/2015 10:30:32 AM

Saturday was never really any kind of real chance

Tuesday has been downgraded though from 1-3" to trace to 1"

2/20/2015 10:52:16 AM

Word on the streets is that next saturday and sunday is gonna be NASTY
