The local ABC affiliate, WLOS, has "the most advanced and precise forecasts in the Carolinas". Accurate and dependable? Actually, they are usually way off base on all the rainfall or snowfall amounts, and their five-day forecasts could be better predicted by drawing numbers from a hat and matching the number to a list of possible weather conditions. They are plagued with technical problems, and I typically have more questions after a news report than before their announcement. Check out their web site from the main page ticker.

Here is what happened on January 27th, 1998 when they said it was only going to rain - I was out of work for two days because we got about 12 inches of snow. It snowed hard all day and into the night. Just click on the thumbnails below to see a larger picture.
