4. Turned north

I was praying it would keep heading east. Out to sea.

It is following the track that was predicted. Pretty amazing science behind that predicted track.

8. It's starting to turn toward land. NOT good.

3. The rain ended in NC not too long ago... now the temps are

dropping like rocks and it is starting to snow in the Great Smoky Mtns. National Park... crazy!

5. I live in Charlotte. Windy and cold here.

We're supposed to have flurries Tuesday night.

6. Yeah, snow

I posted this earlier:

It is now Snowing in the NC Smoky Mountains at 38 degrees.

It is warmer in NY than it is in NC. Even warmer than Florida!

7. Chatham is on the southeast of Cape Cod

and this stinker is reaching that far north?

Good gawd, this is an awful storm. I also just checked all the computer models and none of it has it going out to sea, they all agree on a south-central NJ landfall.

It's going to be quiet around here for the next couple of days, I think, as so many people are hunkered down without power.

Stay safe, everybody!
