Snow, Sunday, Seriously

Just when we started to get comfortable with the idea that winter had left eastern North Carolina the weather prognosticators inform us that we might be seeing some wintry precipitation this Sunday.
I am beside myself at the idea that, after all the beautiful, warm weekends we had in February when we couldn't go camping our first camping trip of the season may be cut short due to snow and ice. It just doesn't seem fair.
Since the yucky stuff isn't supposed to get here until Sunday, we are still leaving to go camping Friday after school. Depending on the forecast Saturday afternoon, we may stick it out, or we may pack it up and come home after dinner Saturday evening.
We're lucky this first club camping weekend is only about 45 minutes to an hour away, depending on traffic. I really need this getaway right now.
What do you think of the trick Mother Nature wants to play on us here in eastern NC this weekend?

Seems I was in North Carolina at just the right time a week and a half ago. I hope you get some camping in before the snow hits.

@fishtiger58 If next winter is as warm as this, we won't have to go far. There were several weekends in January and February that would have been very nice for camping.

Oh has our local news casters started to talk about it? I know that the European Models were talking about the potential of it. It's not supposed to be a lot though.
Unless that too has changed.

@DWDavis The last model I saw didn't have much for your way. If I'm not mistaken your south of me. I'm in Forsyth County.
I'll have to catch the weather report here in a few minutes.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It looks like we may get some snow or mix, but not much. I hope it doesn't stick or cause problems on the road.

It is pretty much hitting the whole east coast except the south, I am glad we aren't leaving until next weekend.

I hate to rub it in but it was a warm summer day in the 80s here in LA.

@DWDavis I've never paid attention.. This will be the first time we've gone on a trip for spring break. Hopefully it won't be the last!

By me here in NYC, they are calling for some snow on Friday. Not good. And so far nothing for Sunday. But they did mention a possible nor-easter on Tuesday next week. This weather is crazy. I guess we are seeing global warming at it's best now. But the new leaders of this screwed up country don't. Go figure. Well, try and enjoy your camping trip.

@DWDavis Well, that's good that you are equipped for that stuff and able to. But now they are no longer talking about snow on Sunday. They said for us here in NYC, snow tomorrow and a possible Nor-Easter on next Tuesday. This weather is so screwed up. But enjoy your camping trip.

Mother Nature is a cheeky minx. I hope it isn't too cold for you.

I was in shorts most of February, and will be all week at least. However, historically, March and April are our worst months, so I expect at least a couple good storms yet.

This fluctuation is not good at all. We do not have extremes here but change in weather on a day to day basis could be quite sometking to deal with.

I am sorry about that. We are supposed to have freezing temps as a low tomorrow night. With all the warm weather lately, I had hoped we would be past having anymore freezing lows.

Hoping that it stays in your part of the state! We don't like the cold as it is, and really don't think more snow would be fun.
