Rivalry Weekend

Well guys today and this weekend is the weekend of the year. FSU vs. FLorida, Michigan vs. Ohio State, Alabama vs. Auburn, and most importantly for me, NC State vs. UNC. It's going to be an awesome day.

We've had some very interesting winter weather across the Eastern United States these past couple of weeks. Long synoptic-scale fronts have brought waves of winter weather to the mountains of NC and SC, and to Virginia and North. We have also had two serious Lake-effect snow storms in NY, the first of which produced 88 inches of snow just SE of Buffalo. These storms have since ceased though for the time being. The next wave is in the NW right now moving ESE. 
The weather in Raleigh tomorrow will be very different from the overcast, rainy conditions we've had for the past couple of days, though it will be chilly still. The low we will experience this morning in Raleigh is in the mid to upper 20's, but it's possible that the low-mid 20's could be felt due to clear skies allowing for quicker emission of infrared radiation. The high today will be in the low-mid 50's but the wind out of the southwest will make things feel a bit warmer. 

NC State is bringing the full band to UNC. Here is what we need to worry about for today:

1. Sunglasses. I believe we will be facing South or Southeast for the game and since we'll be playing at noon, it'll be important to protect our eyes from the bright almost-winter sun
2. Chap Stick. It's going to be cold outside today and our lips will get dried out. Keep the chap stick with you to keep them protected.
3. Game Day Intensity. Look, this is Rivalry weekend. Be crazy!

I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving and black Friday, and have a great weekend!
