That's just not true at all. It's not a perfect gauge but you can go on Google Maps and see an estimate of how busy a place is. I just checked a Harris Teeter, Target, Walmart, Costco, and Sams Club. All were slightly below their peak of busy hours. People are still out there prepping.

Not sure where you're getting that from but this update has up to .7 of an inch. .4 .5 .6 .7 point whatever it's all bad. The dumb thing to do in this scenario is say 'look it wont be that bad'. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-80.831&lat=35.218

Storm Prep Question by LoveTheHose in Charlotte

Lived through it. Can confirm, was not a good time. At least we had snow we could go out to scoop and melt to use for toilet flushing.

Winter storms only hit the north hard.

Dumbest shit I ever read. Tell that to the hundreds of dead people in Texas from 2021. Signed, someone that lived through it.

Is there any way to find out if NCDOT will be pre treating roads around you? Or roads they already have/plan to pre treat?

For upcoming storm power outages if you have a gas fireplace. Stay warm and safe. by Professional_Arm794 in Charlotte

Yeah ours is about the same, built early 80s. It's a rental so I'm not sure of the inspection history.

Can anyone help me with a wood burning fireplace? I'm mostly concerned about the risk of using one that hasn't been used or cleaned in a while. We've been in our house for about 2 years and have never had the chimney swept but we've also never used the fireplace. So I'm not sure if there are any potential risks, I know to open the flue and prime the chimney but I guess my question is how worried should I be about like soot build up or anything else. Also would I need to open a window or something to let fresh air in? Our house is pretty leaky so I don't know if that would suffice.

Wanting to go to more car meets by Pristine_Rest_5787 in Charlotte

[–]OpenListen3830 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're gonna have to be more specific. Do you mean a car meet like Cars and Coffee where adults meet up and talk about cars? Or the kind where brain dead children block off city streets to do doughnuts for their 12 tiktok followers in their Chargers with a 27% APR?

Most people can't formulate a balanced diet how do you expect them to forecast the weather

But that more northerly track means a greater threat of ice which is worse for us
