Now this is useful information. Carolina Powder coming so says Brad Panovich from Charlotte
“RARE EVENT: The “Carolina Powder” Scenario this weekend.
Usually, when we talk about snow and let’s say 0.10" of liquid in the Carolinas, we’re bracing for a slushy inch of concrete or ice. Not this time.With this cold air in place, we are looking at ratios closer to 15:1. That changes the game completely.
The Breakdown: 0.10" Liquid (Standard Wet Snow) = ~0.8" accumulation. 0.10" Liquid (Carolina Powder) = 1.5" of fluff!
Same amount of moisture, nearly double the snow pile. So, depending on how much moisture we get, it could increase totals. This is the kind of snow you can actually clear with a leaf blower. This same setup could mean that dry, cold air “eats” some of the initial moisture through evaporation or, in this case, sublimation. Enjoy the fluff while it lasts!”
Greg Fishel the former weather guy is a Debbie Downer. He is predicting we will get 2-4 inches based on the amount of water in the atmosphere or whatever. So I think everyone may be keeping their respective organs for now if his forecast holds up…
Yea, Brad Panovich is pretty reliable with the snow forecasts. I watch his SkiSoutheast videos once a week to determine if the local resorts are getting enough snow to make a weekend trip. Here is his reporting as of this morning:
I for one hope we get a ton of snow. Feels like we’re overdue. I think the only major snowfall I’ve experienced was sometime around 2000 when Raleigh got like a foot of snow, and I don’t remember it at all. I just wish I didn’t have such a steep driveway because I want to do donuts
The Breakdown: 
0.10" Liquid (Standard Wet Snow) = ~0.8" accumulation. 
0.10" Liquid (Carolina Powder) = 1.5" of fluff!
