My friends in NC tell me that part of the state was pretty much shut
down today: They just don't have the snow removal equipment necessary
for dealing with it. The storm's making its way up the coast and
expected to hit Boston around midnight.
We had a pretty nice day today - not *quite* as cold and windy as it
has been for the past few days. I got in a 13 mile run this morning
and managed a 7:20/mile pace so I must be getting some of my fitness
back. I'm already training for GFM 2010. Beware!
Pretty much typical NC weather pattern. All the snow/sleet/freezing
stuff was north or west of I-85. That pattern was in place before the
interstate was built.
Had about an hour and a half of flurries here in Raleigh before it quit.
About 4 hours later it started raining.
The "freeze line" above 5000 feet was south of Raleigh in the early
afternoon, but the line for below 5000 feet was north of the city.
Later the "freeze line" below 5000 feet shifted south of the city, but
the line for above 5000 feet had already shifted north. According to the
local weather guy, you got to have both to get snow to accumulate.
The later conditions could have caused some freezing rain, but by then
the rain had tapered off to a fine mist overnight in Raleigh.
So we didn't get nothin'!
