Get your bread and milk

[Ja Rhule]

Temperatures will drop tonight to 27* with heavy ice and freezing rain.  Tomorrow high will only be 29* with ice converting to snow Friday night and temperatures dropping to 22*.

Right now we projected to get almost 2 inches of ice and freezing rain and about about 0.5-1.0 inch of snow.

I bought some soup and pop tarts.

I bought bread and beer.  I know you're supposed to buy milk, but you've never

had one of beer sandwiches.

Update:

As some predicted, the storm moved farther Southeast and the Charlotte will get the whole furry of it...  Charlotte now expected to get around 1 inch of solid ice with wind gusts up to 25mph and average temperatures tomorrow of 29*.  Expect massive power outages throughout the area... To make matters worse, Friday night to Saturday we'll get 1-2 inches of snow and temperatures in low 20s...

I really hope this doesn't happen.  Can you imagine being without power when Sunday rolls around?

Considering that the storm is only 10 hours away, the error margin is small.  It actually can push even farther Southeast... Fingers crossed that's not the case.

I'm hitting HT and the ABC store on the way home

My office has already told us to stay home tomorrow..woot woot...#ICESTORMPARTAY! 

[Zaximus]

Yeah I'm work from home tomorrow, but no power could be terrible.  WTF do I do with no power?

[Mrs Pantherfan]

um...hookers and blow? you don't need electricity for that, right?

The margins between ice/snow/freezing rain are razor thin right now.

Chance of snow here is 0%. Better chance of the Falcons winning this year's Super Bowl.

One thing I suggest for power outages is if you have a couple 5 gallon buckets, fill them up with water, or plug up a bathtub full of water so you have something to use to flush the toilets.

If you're on a well...

 I've been on one so long I forgot about that. Part of our water out here is supplied from massive wells into the aquifer and some did lose power temporarily from the massive outage we had up here a couple of months ago.
