The emerging trends about the winter storm expected to impact the Charlotte region next week are that it will be big, and that it will produce a mix of precipitation.

Get your bread, milk and you could stop by a pizza place and pick up a couple of pizzas and freeze them.
Of course one thing to always watch for ... when snow hits Atlanta we gonna get it too . It never makes it over the mountains to us.
If we get the big one, just drive careful out there. The rest of us will be in our homes until it thaws!
Poor DaysofThundr46! If you're the only one on the road - I'll say a prayer for your safety! (Actually, I'm praying for NOTHING to happen so I can go to work!!!). I literally laughed out loud when I saw that CarolinaWoman posted this thread!
Meet you at the McDonald's, the day of the big one.
20-25 miles per hour, and some common sense, can get you around if you have reasons to go out. If you have no reasons to go out, then you can choose to stay home.

I was just trying to give Thunder a heads up ... I don't want nothing to happen to him. The last snow storm I had cooked a big pot of vegetable soup, cornbread, Mississippi Mud Cake. Better than those fast food places. All he had to do was take Hwy 49 down to Hwy 274 and then navigate the these hills. I ended up giving soup and cornbread away to neighbors.
I sometimes doubt these far in advance reports ... some years ago we woke up to a killer snow storm with no warning whatsoever. Alas, no milk and bread. This most likely angered the milk and bread industries and stockholders. It was like the forecasters were sleeping on the job. Now they do this First Warn stuff and on and on and on even if we get it or not.
I sincerely hope we don't get the Big One! We have had enough now. Come on springtime.

You know - I put up with snow up north when I lived in Buffalo, NY where I'm from. As a kid it was great fun! But then adulthood crept up on me and it was shoveling/snowblowing driveways and letting my car sit for an hour heating up before work, getting up extra early 'cause a 30 min. commute was now going to take an hour or more. I sure don't miss them days! But... It WAS cool when I got stuck at a bar once with only a handful of people who were crazy enough like me to venture out in a blizzard to see a band. We had to spend the night, so it was free drink and food and great music! But those were my younger days... now I just HATE snow! Brrrrrrrrrrrr...
But I DO make sure my fridge and cupboards are packed when the weather people start this "winter storm warning" crap! I hope it's not real this time! Ugh!!!!

You understand our area, we don't have that many snow storms. Sometimes it will snow and be gone by noon. When I was in school and the weather people would even mentioned snow the hyper-excitement levels would go sky high. Our parents couldn't get us in bed, we would keep peeking out the windows to see if it was snowing yet!
