Oh, I wasn't speeding either. When I came home, I took the 501 from Old Forest up to Boonsboro and only went 35. But when you're going 12 (yes, it was exactly 12), you're just begging for an accident. Not to mention you need a little speed to get up hills so you don't slide down on them.

Let's just be smart out there people.


And here's a banana smilie, just because

[Rocketfan]

I don't know how many of you have antenna TV, but i was watching 10.2 last night and Jeff H. was giving the weather. He interrupted his thing to say " the rumor mill is flying all over that we are going to get 30 inches of snow, i can tell you now that is not going to happen...(chuckle).

[Rocketfan]

Once again, areas from Roanoke to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City will be in the heart of the storm. These locations have already received two to four times their normal snowfall so far this winter.

While the storm will start off with wet snow, it will transform to a blizzard as winds increase, drawing cold air farther and farther south. A freeze-up and blowing and drifting will become a problem for the second half of the storm as a result.

Storm starts Friday between 6am-8am and should produce 3-6' on Friday alone during a 18 hour period. As Rocket suggested Sat should be very interesting but I wont get that one until tomorrow.

[blwall1416]

...should produce 3-6' on Friday ...

either its a storm of epic proportions or that's a big typo. way to produce mass hysteria (def leppard).

[Hold My Own]

haha, yes, forgot the extra ' that was 3 - 6 inches

[SuperJon]

Since it'll be snowing, we've decided to white out the Vines for the PC game on Saturday night.

7000 students snowed in with nowhere to go. What better excuse to go to a basketball game is there?

[Hold My Own]

So everyone will be encouraged to wear white Saturday?

[SuperJon]

Yup. White outside. White inside.

[jcmanson]

Well, last time it was an epic fail

[SuperJon]

Well, last time it was an epic fail

No it wasn't. The last time we did it was a Tuesday night against Winthrop in 08. There were a ton of people there in white. The problem was is started sleeting at 5:45 that night and no one came out.

[ToTheLeft]

And we lost, which may be what he was referring to.

However, I'm down for it. I have a nice white LU BBall shirt to wear.

[Schfourteenteen]

That was our first home loss that year.

[SuperJon]

We were also playing the team that won the league that year. We likely would've lost either way.

My favorite part of that was Sch14 painted completely white.

What I don't get is why the LUnatics switched from white to red at halftime??????

Oh yeah, latest models have colder air over Roanoke and Lynchburg, so snowfall totals may be higher. WSET is predicting 6-10" as of 6 PM.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You may be the only other person with a picture from that game. Unnecessary.

We were either losing or tied at halftime and we were way too superstitious so we switched to red.

[givemethemic]

This is storm is putting a huge dent in my plans! For the first time in forever, I don't have a game down here to cover... I was planning on going to WF at UVA and then see us spank the hoes around on Sat... Looks like there will be no home games for me this year... I guess I'll catch Winthrop tomorrow night on DVR since I will be at Cameron for GT and Duke.... O wait a minute... I have Time Warner Cable... After 4 years they haven't settled with MASN yet... Time Warner Cable you still SUCK and always will!!!

[SuperJon]

I had UVA/Wake tickets but it looks like I won't be using them.

[jcmanson]

Thank you all for proving why our last "white out" was such a failure.

This is what I call, full circle...I completely forgot about all this last year...oh it was funny hearing TBGBG and some of the other LUnatics talk about the white out

[ATrain]

Thanks for the explanation SJ.

And now, back to the storm

[Hold My Own]

These forecast's are changing by the minute. The report the airport receives has increased the total accumulation by 5 inches within the last hour....some reports are calling for it to be big again and some saying only 6''....I think the truth lies in the middle....should be interesting

[ATrain]

I heard a report over the radio:

"We're going to get anywhere between a dusting to 100 feet of snow, and it will start sometime between midnight on Friday and midnight on Sunday."

The Roanoke blogger Kevin Myatt is predicting 12-14 inches for the 460 corridor based on the fact that colder-than-expected air is in place right now, which will increase snowfall and decrease sleet.
