They're going to cancel a game over a little snow?

2" of snow in the Carolinas is cause to shut down everything. Living in upstate NY, it's difficult to sympathize.

Actually its the ice thats the problem. In the middle part of the state alot of the time we are along the snow/sleet/freezing rain line..

I saw a few weeks ago on the news how a few inches of snow paralyzed the NY metro area......... kids having to stay at school overnight ... etc.... so its not just a southern thing.

I fail to remember that situation at all. Didn't happen. It takes more than a few inches of snow/ice to paralyze this city. To do that it would take at least 6-10 inches and blizzard conditions to paralyze the city, and that for only a day.

 

[triaddukefan]

I assume the Sandlappers will arrive in Durham on Saturday.... so the game still could go on............ with a minimal crowd though.

I'll be there; sleet, snow or dark of night.

hmmmm.... right now.... weather underground is calling for 8-12 inches of snow here..... 5-8 inches in Durham.... im sure that will change.... but gosh... it doesnt look good right now.

Is that heading our way? I’d like to know so I can get milk, bread and eggs now, ahead of the rush.

Wouldn’t you rather go to the packie before all the good stuff is gone?

I dont think its expected to affect the northeast..... just the south and mid-atlantic...

Never quite understood the milk, bread, and eggs thing. I always go out to get donuts, fried chicken, and cheap wine.

Packie? Some kinda liquor store?

 

[uconnell]

Triadduke. Sounds like a plan. Nan really, the packie?
I, also don’t understand the milk read eggs thing either, but it is a fact. Going to the store late in the day before a storm and the shelves are bare of these items.

 

[HuskyNan]

Connecticut has some weird laws regarding liquor sales called blue laws that date back to colonial times. You can buy beer in the grocery store but for wine or liquor you have to go to package stores and they close at 8:00pm. Only in the last few years have package stores been open on Sundays.

That’s a long winded way of saying, yes, a packing is a liquor store. They sell beer, wine, liquor, mixers, and bar paraphernalia but if you want a loaf f bread, you have to go elsewhere.

Ok... they have these places here... ABC stores. I think they close at 9pm.. not open on Sundays. They sell beer and wine in grocery stores, gas stations.. drug stores... Walmarts.... but just the hard stuff at the ABC stuff. I suspect the ABC stores will be packed in the next few days.

You might need to change that over to ABC now you're down in FL.

I’m a wine drinker. I pick it up when I do grocery shopping, very civilized

I'm heading up to Durham on Saturday. On Sunday, I can always come home via 40, 95 and 20 if the snow is bad on 85 south/west of Durham. I'm from Jersey; a few inches of snow doesn't worry me.

Yeah.... you aint coming back 40/85 .... I guess I cant get a refund if I cant make it

Have you heard any inkling the game would be postponed?

 

[triaddukefan]

No.. not at all. But...... the forecasters are getting more and more info.. and are started to make official forecasts. Accuweather is saying a foot of snow plus ice for Greensboro For Durham they are saying snow mixed with rain starting Sat night into Monday afternoon.... totals betweeen 4-8 inches.

They cant move the game to Saturday due to a Duke men's game that afternoon. If you care to fork over a couple of hundred dollars... you can always go to the Men's game

@cockhrnleghrn

Now that I think about it..... they usually dont cancel games if the visitors team can make it to the arena.... and your team will already be there. Might not be much of a crowd though.

I'm very loud so I'll make up for the missing ones, lol.

I just watched Jim Cantore on the Weather Channel and now I’m completely confused. He was focused on NC talking about snow, rain, down drifts and a bunch of seemingly contradictory possibilities. Cantore is clearly covering all the bases.

All are seemingly possible/probable according to accuweather.... including flooding rains in the eastern part of the state. Im not finished preparing quite yet... .... trying to decide between pizza and fried chicken.... donuts, cake, or cheesecake..... I got my cheap wine, salmon, sweet tea, and canned tuna already
