Just as i said, this storm is breaking up on the mountains, we won't get any snow or ice, it's got to be a powerful storm to ride over the mountains and reach us from the west or northwest...

That's exactly what this storm is doing for me. It's all staying down south and the mountains are killing it for me. I'm fine with it, I don't need any more snow right now.

We're riding a roller coaster here -- the temperature is either way above normal or way below. Tomorrow we're back in the below normal cycle. Snow should begin a few hours before dawn and they're calling for about 2". I think we hit 60 F on Saturday. My grandmother called this "pneumonia weather".

Doesn't really need to go over the mountains for you to get a good one. The energy just needs to transfer to the Chesapeake and ride due north. Mountains won't help you there.

Think of storms as a living breathing entity. They need water to survive. Naturally a deep low will transfer to the coast. Much like this current storm will do.

I just checked the forecast and they're now saying some parts of central VA could get up to 5".

I'm not sure what direction the storm is coming from.

It's helping the flu outbreak, that's for sure. Cold, warm, cold, warm, that shit gets people sick with a cold, lowers immune system and make it easier to catch the flu.

It's coming from the south. It's a train of gulf moisture.

But it was too far West to make a difference in the Carolinas and hit the mountain range...

I was at work and just drove back home, it's just after 7am, the roads are covered in snow and it's falling heavy still, two cars were off the road in the ditch when I drove home...

Transferred to a coastal storm sooner than expected. Stay safe my friend. I know you folk aren't as good with large amounts of snow like us northern folk.

Thanks, I was up at 4 am and nothing, no snow or anything, got out of the shower and pressed my clothes, got dressed and looked again and heavy snow falling already an inch...

Drove to work and called everyone off for the day and went back home, fortunately I work about 3 miles from home..

We have over 8 inches of snow now, I was out shoveling my car and walkway clear, still no plows yet, the only vehicles I've seen is a random 4x4 SUV or Jeep...

Just a dusting here. 8 inches would be business as usual for us. Haha.

But in all reality around here the 4x4's are the first cars off the road. Those idiots put to much faith in 4x4.

Agreed.....its not much for us......but for the people down south its a problem because they probably have 8 snow plows in the entire state....lol.

I also agree with your comment on the 4x4 drivers......most don't realize that being able to stop is equally as important as going. In the snow that's much harder......lol.....but they are to stupid to know.

There's been over 550 vehicle accidents on the snowy roads today alone in my region and western NC combined...Then over 700 roadside assistance calls...

Tomorrow we are closed, no work at the office, I have homework though...
