Calling for 8-12 inches of snow here in the Camel City on Sunday.
What's the forecast in your area?
Similar in Big Lick.
Although it's a moving target.

it's still 3000 miles away.... waiting till Friday for an "accurate" forecast /'/
The Sunday forecasts are always the same here in the Grove --- Methodist women, wearing panties, followed by men, rolling past the house every Sunday morning.
Now tell me, does getting old result in apathy towards the local weather? I think about global conditions but have lost interest in the homegrown stuff.

No, it just means you're becoming unhinged.
BTW, did you help hang the green at the Methodist Church?
Accumulation may not be the best metric to quantify the snowfall for this event. Ground is still a bit warm. It will probably take 18 inches of snowfall to result in a 12" accumulation. I'm leaning towards camping in the snow this weekend.
Other weather goodies. Thought this was worth reading

Stats for Nov
http://climate.ncsu.edu/climateblog?id=275
QuoteThe rain from both storms has many North Carolina locations and other sites across the eastern US already near or past their record annual precipitation totals entering December. With 95.81 inches so far this year, Wilmington is well beyond its old record of 83.65 inches, which it surpassed during Florence.
Along with being the wettest spot in the state in November, the Newport/Morehead City NWS office has set a new annual precipitation record of 95.69 inches and counting. New Bern also eclipsed its previous record during November, with 73.54 inches of precipitation this year.
A number of sites in western North Carolina, including Asheville, Highlands, and Statesville, are all on pace to set a new wettest year on record. With no end in sight to our current wet pattern, those may be easy achievements to reach as we close out the year.

Panties? You surveying?
I am surprised that they haven't already announced school closing for all of next week here in Richmond!

Not panties, but I assess degrees of wadness. So, from perusing the wad factor of the followers of the late John Wesley every Sunday morning, I assume there are women's panties and men's nut huts .
Amended: Methodist women, wearing panties, followed by Methodist men, wearing boxers, rolling past the house every Sunday morning.
If NC gets that much snow, the Tarheels will have plenty of indoor time to formulate new and better methods of election fraud.
All I know is that if we get as much snow as predicted, all you guys better keep it in your pants! Too many kids popping up from board members and not enough fishing as is.

Patio furniture challenge continues.

I'm betting we have ballpark of 2.5-3 feet up here.
Boyd is having a tough time navigating this mess. He's not a small dog (75 lbs) and he has to jump and hop through it.
Not a fan of this white shit
Wot!?
We were slammed. Live in the crest of the blue ridge overlooking the Piedmont; so we got it all

I don't mind the snow up there. The wind on the other hand.....
34 inches fell in Charlotte Hall Md during this event. Twas epic. Most of our goats, at least 25 became sick. My older brother made a pile of money cleaning driveways.

About 12" here in Hanover County. Only 1 of our 3 dogs wants to venture outside. And our 3 year old doesn't want to come in! She started sledding yesterday and it was a huge hit.
Tying flies, enjoying the wood stove and drinking coffee. Can't beat that.

A little ghey and incessantly obstinate ---- I tried to do as I was told back in the 70s, adopt the metric system.
~ 18 cm of snow in Mountain Grove
I'm trying to dig out. 2 cars and a house....

I'm sitting here at the office wishing we had something worth cancelling work . . .
It's gonna freeze tonight so tomorrow may be a wash.
And Wednesday.
That means we'll be behind schedule, none of my guys get paid to sit on their asses and I won't care come Friday afternoon because we're going on a week's cruise to the Caribbean.
I'll send warm pictures like Aaron and y'all can give me hell too.
It melted a little yesterday afternoon and then snowed another 4-5 inches last night,so we ended up with 16 or 18 inches

Maybe I can get out about Wednesday :o
Phil probably got 2 feet

Dang, Phil. :o
Phil and Dayumson for the Win!
I'm there with ya Phil.
Holy crap. Some of you really got dumped on. I've never seen that much snow in person. We saw 6" here in Greer, SC.
All of this snow reminds me of growing up in NJ in the 60s, many times we got over a foot and used those days as money making opportunities. We even had a marketing plan, we would come back and clear the drive after the plows came by for no extra charge! My older brother purchased a snow blower and we cleaned up the neighborhood! While he tackled the driveway I worked on the sidewalks and steps.
Wish we could find kids down here that are willing to shovel snow for a few extra bucks....

Woolly, I agree 100%. They're all inside playing video games and living on their smartphones.
Pivoting back to precipitation in general. Or "part of why we aren't fishing as much".
We are sitting at 60" year to date. Last year was 40".
My Smiff is pumping, 24, 7.
Wilmington, NC just went over 100".
Seattle averages 152 days of rain a year. But only 39".

Believe or distrust the research, place real dumbasses or satisfactory visionaries in positions of global leadership, contemplate the future or gluttonously focus on today's gratification, we're all guilty of negligence, and careless blindness to earthly signs.
