CMC is even worse for the 28th. Not only are they all over the place on what, where, and how much or none, they are all over the place on when. It tells me that it isn't a valid potential yet and we need to be about 7 days out to get a better grasp on this.

If it becomes as frustrating to nail down as that last Freak Storm anomaly I will have to just go ahead and shave my head to hide the bare patches that are left on my head from pulling my hair out.

Suuure, pulling it out. We just had lunch, I know the troof.

All I ask is that it hold off until the 28th. I'll be coming back home on the 27th and need clear roads.

I have to apologize, I stated it was the CMC. It is actually the CFS. Word of caution to deniers of the CFS, it actually has performed well this winter thus far, for a long range model. The other models have come into alignment with it closer to the time of events.

This was at NOON from Kennesaw to Canton.

I'm pulling the CCTV footage from outside at work over the 24 hours and will compile a video of it as well.

You made it!

 

[Priest]

You made it!

I did, but it got hairy at the end on all season tires.

I'm so glad we shod my wife's truck with Blizzak tires for the winter. She drove through worse with no problems. I drove her's Saturday morning early and pulled trees out of the road while those tires bit into the ice and snow.

If you didn't live in East Alabama I might consider it, although that Jambalaya offer is mighty tempting. Let me think about it.

I know how to make this mess stop. I practice Murphy's Law and am quite successful with it. All I gotta do is bring the new toboggan bought after the 2010 storm out and show it to the sky and it will stop immediatly.

I thought he was talking about a sock cap.............

I think toboggan is a fancy synonym for sled..... or in my neck of the woods growing up an old car hood or a big cardboard box!

That's the Yankee in him coming out!!
