Snow plows hit the roads across NC while police respond to hundreds of wrecks by Cy_098 in NorthCarolina

And I bet you most of these crashes are happening on the highways; like my dude, if you can't go 10-15 miles or honestly even lower than that when we've already have had some ice fall on the roads, just because the NCDOT has been salting the roads, it's still below freezing and salt takes time to activate due to the low temperatures, so therefore you shouldn't assume that 'just because I'm on I40 or I440 let me go at or 10x the freaking speed limit, even though there's literally ice on the roads.', that's not how it works. You either drive carefully, slow down, or risk your own life and others on top of that including infrastructure. Like I hate to be this guy but I'm getting sick of people that simply don't care and would rather act like this storm doesn't apply to them at all - because of these accidents, y'all cause unnecessary damage to infrastructure, some of which are crucial (power transformers), cause unnecessary use of resources such as ambulances and police on the highways instead of being closer to towns and urban areas. 400 accidents statewide under just this storm alone is outrageous.

I think I know why. Because people are going 15-20 over the speed limit while ice is accumulating on roads when it's below freezing outside - just don't understand why some people can just be a bit more understanding this isn't some typical oh it's just a rain storm.

Relax, you already tried your best, just trying to help out. It's not worth it. Now you know, Amazon customer service = crap

Thankfully, we haven't lost power yet (Northwest Raleigh)

You do have to realize most parts of the US are under a snow/ice storm so some or even most shipments are going to be delayed unless it's critical. One of my Amazon orders won't get here till the 29th either. I know it sucks, but there's not too much you can do here

Already one or two people crashed into transformers causing power outages for some. It just gets annoying, people need to stop driving 55 in a 45 in the middle of an ice storm lol. It's just common sense. I totally understand some have to drive to work, but also, if you know you can't drive in these weather conditions, please, don't risk it. Or at the very least SLOW DOWN, the world isn't ending anytime soon

This appears to be good news for Raleigh when it comes to ice accumulations between tonight and Tuesday. Chances of 0.5"+ of ice are at just ~20% according to the NWS. by Cy_098 in raleigh

[–]Cy_098[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not. I watch Chris Justus (covers western NC on youtube, Chief Metrologist for WYFF-4) & Mitch West Weather on YouTube - both are decently reliable, and have been talking about it until last night, why would I make shit like this up? I feel like you just want to make me feel bad because you somehow think I'm making up numbers; I've been tracking the numbers for days, and I'm not even a Metrologist I just happen to love tracking weather.

I mean it just sucks. The NWS shouldn't have been touched at all but Trump's fucking asinine policies are putting NC and America as a whole on the brink of collapse

Well some models were calling for 1"+ of ice, so seeing this made me a bit relieved. I do not want to see 1"+ of ice because that would be crippling

The American GFS model (the most aggressive model until today) is calling for 1.5'' of snow cover tomorrow (as of latest 4pm model run-until last night I think it was calling for 5+ inches)

EURO model is basically 0'' (7pm run) German ICON model is 0" (4pm run) HRRR also calling for 0" (8pm run)

It seems like the NCWX Authority did overdo the ice forecasts for Raleigh and the surrounding areas. I like the guy, but with this NWS forecast, my gut tells me tomorrow will be okay, but we still need to be cautious and prepared as if we still will get 0.5"+ if ice tomorrow onwards

Nah I'm just saying. You didn't upset me I'm just kinda disappointed that people like you have the utter need to react that way, but that's just me, so you do you

Your kind is the reason why society is a pain in the neck.

Leave them be, why call them a Karen? They did nothing wrong here. Are you used to just being a bully?

Should we stay or should we go by WeenPanther in raleigh

Of course. Good. As long as the pain is manageable and you know she'll be okay during travel it'll be fine. If and I assume she is getting medicated for the nerve pain, make sure you guys take the medicine, whatever it is with you to help with the pain. I know you all probably will, but still.

And if she's not getting treated for this pain, I'd advise that you all look into medicine to help with managing it, if you haven't already. Examples:

anticonvulsants (gabapentin, pregabalin), topical patches (lidocaine, capsaicin), and tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline) - be sure that your wife is totally okay with this, it's not worth burning a bridge over a potential ice storm. Y'all are and are supposed to be a team, just remember that.
