I'm sure the state of NC will drop copious amount of bread and milk along the roadway.
For those of you who are driving to and from Charlotte over the weekend, please be advised that a Winter Storm Watch is posted for counties along the I-40 and I-85 corridor for Sunday.

And eggs. Here in the Triad, we make French toast when snow/ice are threatened.
I presume that the winter weather will continue to Orange County, as we all know (Chapel) Hell will freeze over late Saturday night.
I've been watching this closely since I intend to drive back to Durham after the game.
According to weather.com's hourly projections, the route back shouldn't start to see ice and freezing rain until about 4 a.m. Sunday morning. But the winter weather advisory does suggest it could start Saturday night.
Not sure what to do.
I suspect the interstates will be in good shape - if they get pretreated.
It's that last mile that gets squirrelly.
(I spend a lot of time playing in winter weather getting to and from games from DC. The interstates are almost never the problem.)

Already bought all the bread and milk. Sorry NC! Milk toast all for me!!
As warm as it was here today, it will probably make it tougher for the nasty stuff to stick when it hits a relatively warm ground.
Charlotte isn't in the Triad.

Olympic, as I look at the hourly forecast I think you should have little/no worries about attending. Forecast doesn't show any temps cold enough to freeze the roadways from Charlotte to Derm over the weekend. Here in Richmond the temp is expected to get to 30, but the ground/roads are so warm it'd take several hours of cold to get them to freezing. Not likely to happen. Authorities will always project the worst to cover any possible unforeseen changes. I think "All is Well!" Wasn't that Kevin Bacon in final scene of "Animal House"
The worst part of this is that all these people in North Carolina will die from psychosomatic hypothermia because it's under 75 degrees.

I guess you'd clip it from its Southeastern edge.
The prolonged suffering of people who endure North Carolina winters. It's gruesome. They're like Job. If Job spent 10% of his time walking around in a windbreaker, other than that one really bad ice storm in 2002, which was .0001% of his time.

Never been to Disney, and doubt I'd like it, but wouldn't mind the Orlando bowl if we don't make Miami or Atlanta.
I do like French Toast. Cinnamon is a real key. Enough might help a tire gain traction. When the kids were very little, they'd go to town shaking the cinnamon into the batter. One day, my son got a little too vigorous w/ the shaking.
Me: "Whoa, whoa, whoa."
Him: "But you always said there's no such thing as too much cinnamon."
Sister (w/out missing a beat): "Yeah, but there is such a thing as enough."
Me (after a pause): "That's pretty funny. How'd you think of that?"
Sister: "You've said that before, too."
Not sure exactly why, but somehow it's my proudest parenting moment.
Anyway, the party's raging all night in Charlotte after we win a championship, so no need for anybody to leave early and drive in a drizzle.
