Looks like just a little snow on some of the Buildings in Boone, but all in all, not much of an event for them and for most of our state... #SpectrumNews1 #ncwx

I've always admitted, forecasting snow in North Carolina has been the toughest part of my, almost four decade career...
Though some wintry weather forecasts are easier than others.
Friday morning's for example, doesn't look like a lot for north central North Carolina. #SpectrumNews1 #ncwx

Whelp… It finally happened. Knocked out of action due to a Christmas decorating injury. I either did a number on my knee or hamstring.
Either way, walking is not a good option right now. TBD on the diagnosis. #SpectrumNews1 #DecoratingInjury

Looks like a typical La Nina winter for North Carolina this winter season... One thing to remember about snow chances with a La Nina, if we have snow, it tends to occur more in the December/January timeframe.

I've seen so much "garbage" when it comes to winter weather chances in NC in recent days, so I thought I'd show you what the GFS & EURO operational models were call for through next Friday 11pm. Outside of the mountains, I wouldn't be looking for wintry weather unless something changes. #ncwx
