How'd I do?
You forgot...

1. The parents that will complain that school is closed.
2. The parents that will complain once it has re-opened.
3. The parents that will complain about make up days.

Also

There will be complaints that You Guys Around Here don't know how to drive in the snow. You Guys Around Here will explain it's the ice not the snow. Someone will post the picture for the 5000th time.

People will brag about their consumption of alcohol.

I like to play a drinking game where you drink every time they say "hunker down".

Newscasters LOVE that phrase.

I'll be hunkering down (there...said it) with Deschutes Black Butte porter.

Dressing for outside and dressing in layers for indoor wear due to cold are two different things and high school kids aren't known for planning ahead based on what MIGHT happen.

Much ado about nothing so far. Coastal NC is getting covered....according to the radar. Even showing precip here in Raleigh. But no one I know on the coast is seeing a flake, drop, etc.

Only legit reports Ive seen, with photos, are from Charleston, SC area. Nothing on the radar around here is making it to the ground. That covers entire SE portion of NC.

Just turn on traffic in Google Maps to see where snow is making it to the ground.
