Brad Panovich ‏@wxbrad 1m The 700mb low still has to move through could give us a big last burst of snow. http://http://twitpic.com/dvbofq

Yea, just watched the 6 pm news break on the website live stream. Calling for another 2-5 inches in the Northern Charlotte area's into Cabarrus county. they didn't mention tomorrow in the latest forecast though.

Here's underground weather. Saying another 1-3 inches of snow/sleet tonight and then another 3-5 inches tomorrow. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=zmw:28083.1.99999 I think Brad is saying it's going to be more snow then Ice, at least he was earlier today.

Brad Panovich at 5:30 put out snow fall totals that were expected from the deformation band coming in from the SW. That band is going to hit sometime tonight and bring in another 6-12 inches with the heavier totals north of I-85 towards the foothills and mountains. They were calling for another 7 inches in Concord on top of the 5-7 inches already on the ground. He was talking about 2-3 inches of snow per hour coming from the 700mb.

Going to get slammed tonight with another band of snow that's going to bring another 6-12 inches depending on where you're live.

Places like target never close and except employees to come in during this mess. University store was open not but an hour ago. That's the reason for people driving. We've got 6 inches and counting in concord

The snow is pretty much like ice on the roads, don't drive if you don't have too.

It just started here in concord and it's sticking to everything .

Just released his latest forecast and it's not good at all. Storm sticking around well into Thursday and Friday morning with a clipper Friday night. Raised his projection for Ice in Charlotte to .20 of an inch.

Brad P is calling for less snow and more ice in Charlotte. Says the storm is trending west and that will mean more ice. Latest projection is 5-8 inches of snow and around a quarter inch of ice.

Underground Weather and the Weather Channel are now Calling for 8-12 inches of snow in the Charlotte Metro and surrounding areas. http://www.weather.com/weather/alerts/localalerts/28025?phenomena=WS&significance=W&areaid=NCZ072&office=KGSP&etn=0005 http://www.wunderground.com/q/zmw:28083.1.99999.html#warn

The good thing is that the heavy snow early today kept temperatures from reaching 40 today, so it's going to be colder in the morning then originally thought. Means more snow and less ice here.

Hearing New Bern got 5 inches today. wow... Here in Concord, no accumulation left from earlier today and just light snow now.

It's started melting here in Concord, an hour ago my back yard was covered and now it's mostly gone. It's still snowing lightly, just not keeping up with how much is melting on the ground.

It's not warming up like they thought it was going to, the temperature is below freezing now. It's actually gotten colder and colder since the snow started falling. 1-2 inches of snow today, then heavier snow tomorrow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cMlQsxMpHE&feature=youtu.be&a

Latest snow and ice predictions from Panovich. Have Charlotte Getting 5-7 inches of Snow and roughly .15 inches of Ice. Still has large portions of SC and Eastern NC getting .75 to over an inch of ice. Along with about 2-3 inches of Snow in those areas. He's got Lancaster getting 3-6 inches of snow and close to 3 quarters of ice accumulation.

From what I've read and seen, it's a combination of freezing rain and sleet. An half inch to an inch of freezing rain and sleet sticking to power lines, cable lines, phone lines, road signs....trees... All of that has a great potential to fall with that much weight baring down on it. If Brad Panovich and the models are right, that's a historical storm that's going to be very deadly.

inch of ice, talking over a thousand pounds of pressure on the power lines. Tree's down everywhere, power poles snapping, power lines snapping.... Area's that have above ground phone and cable should expect those to go out along with the power. Almost all of SC would probably be with out power excluding the coast line. Along with northern Georgia and Alabama, parts of NC in the Triangle area. That's all Duke power fed area's and probably a few million people with out power, combine that with the road conditions and the storm lasting for 2-3 days. Probably easily looking at 3 weeks before everyone would have power restored. I really hope the forecast models are wrong about how much ICE is expected.

This sounds just lovely for the area. Also models are showing that there's over a 50% chance of an inch of ice in Columbia, SC. Almost all of SC and parts of Georgia having a high chance of half an inch. https://twitter.com/JimCantore/status/432885265007652864/photo/1

I think the storm shifted in a bit more then the earlier predictions were for. I don't see how weather channel's forcast still only shows less then an inch, when if you watch the videos from this morning they have Charlotte in the 3-5 inch area plus a bunch of ice.

It's still snowing out towards the outer banks. Expecting another 2-4 inches in some places on top of the 10 inches that they got last night. Got barely an inch in the Concord area.

Ummm, the first half was questions...Can't get those wrong. As for MS sponsoring MLG and the COD championship being on xbox's > http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/68 Modern Warfare was really the last good true COD game, the team made MW2 but it was a hot mess. Sledgehammer and Raven plus what was left of IW made MW3. Anything not made by the original COD team isn't really COD, just like the later version of Medal of Honor weren't really MOH games because IW didn't have anything to do with them. This is opinion based but COD4 was really the last game that glued me in with the series. As for Bungie slamming the game and it's multiplayer. You can look it up, but halo 2's technical lead Chris Butcher said the multiplayer was unplayable and pale shadow of what it should have been. So really the only things I could be wrong about are Halo CE being better then Halo 2 or MW1 and the earlier COD games being better then the ones that were developed by other teams....That's all opinion based really, can't be wrong or right about that. Was I wrong about your experience with PC gaming. So you actually did play CS:S and CS:GO, COD1, COD2 and HL2: DM on PC. I know you play Dota and Starcraft, but I was wondering about the FPS that came out around Halo 2 mainly. Also you were a bad sport and didn't answer the questions. They were simple questions and wouldn't have taken that long.... Oh and If you're a competitive gamer playing on xbox 360 and don't own a scuf controller, I'd recommend buying one. They are allowed at MLG events and they allow you to play with out moving your thumbs off the sticks.

Lmao, oh ok.... I know what both are. Trust me. I've never heard of really good ones using a controller though, everyone knows that K/M is the best control method for FPS. I just have a few questions for you though. Do you have a scuf controller? Do you even know what it is and what it's advantage is. (It's a huge advantage to own one btw.) Do you play your FPS on the PC with M/K? Is that your preferred method of playing FPS? Do you realize that MS sponsors the Ghost Winter championships and is one of the biggest MLG sponsors? Now if you don't play on PC, then you probably don't have any clue what so ever as to what I'm talking about when I say that Halo 2 was garbage compared to Halo CE or that Ghost is Garbage in every sense of the word. You probably won't agree with me that COD hasn't been really COD since MW1 came out nearly 7 years ago either. Then again you probably didn't play the original COD vision that came out on PC in 2003 either. There's also a good chance you never played HL2: Deathmatch or CS:S or CS:GO. Which in turn is why PC gamers in general laugh at FPS games being played on consoles. To everyone not on the Halo 2 was the greatest thing since sliced bread crowd. I'm sorry for derailing and trolling this thread for this long as it wasn't my intention at all. I just hate the fact that people call that garbage, a good game when the people who made it slammed it and called it an unplayable mess. I have the same problem with COD now as well because it's been nothing but a hot mess that needs to be yank from Activisions publishing cycle of death.
