Hello everyone. For several years now, Gary Buffaloe and I have joked about starting a blog. I have earned a reputation for blowing up your facebook newsfeed during inclement weather - especially winter weather. Special thanks to Jason Lankford for doing what we simply would not do - starting a blog. As Jason and Gary have mentioned, we are not meteorologists, we are simply guys who love the weather.
North Carolina weather can be and often is very complex, especially in the winter. To get snow on the ground in Raleigh, a lot of things have to come together in just the right way. We love watching these things.

I personally read weather forecasts from different sources (especially the National Weather Service's forecast discussions) and translate those discussions and forecasts into everyday language. I hope we all can do that here and that this blog will prove helpful to many.
