Beautiful weekend to me

I want to try yard saling. What kind of boat should I get?

The totals on the above map in Fallston of between 2 and 3 inches is right for the farm. We are probably around 2.4” with whatever has fallen this AM adding to it. That 3.5” over in Edgewood is reflective of the weird storm approach on Thursday to Fallston that fell apart and re-formed just past Fallston and unloaded on 95. SUPER glad for the last 60 hours of rain at the farm - hugely beneficial and hugely needed at a critical juncture as we’ve been getting flowers into the fields in the previous weeks…

Narrow band set up shop over head this morning bringing the total to 4.89" thus far. @MillvilleWx I've thought all along what an incredible snowstorm this would have been. Imagine our thunderous squall we experienced yet for several hours at a time. Yes, please and thank you I'll take another lol.

The latest weekly BoM, which just extended to Nov for the first time, is forecasting a +2.9C RONI in SON. The record back to 1950 is +2.5C (1982). However, caution on the ultimate strength is advised due to warm bias:

Rain finally moving out-can salvage some of today but wow what an awful 3 day weekend

I remember the annual plunge of Brooklyns, Comey Island, Polar Bear Club. In a deep stretch of cold and sometimes with snow on the beach they would make their beach plunge. Newsprint and TV news would cover it. As you can see they were average folk but when I was asked for a comment way back, in my younger days I said “ definitely certifiable” now, perhaps, I’m not so sure. Stay well everyone, as always …..

Just dumping here.....holy crap

Happy Memorial Day and thank you to those who serve our country. Still some showers around today before we finally see a return of the sun tomorrow. Temperatures both tomorrow and Wednesday will be several degrees above normal with highs not far from 80 degrees. We then see a return of cooler than normal temperatures but with mostly sunny days right through next weekend.

Well to be fair, my POP was really high, and I did indeed get rain. Just not very much of it.

I got just a T the last 24 hours and am at only ~1.5” MTD with most of that falling 23 days ago!

Just drove 340 between Brunswick and Frederick. Patchy dense fog. Careful driving this am.

A band from Carrollton to Gainesville, which includes much of the N ATL metro, as well as to the N and NE of AHN centered on Madison county, did quite well the last 24 hours. As the map shows, some other areas of N GA, including near Rome, also did well:

Little over 7” so far for the event.

Parts of Johnston county have been the RDU metro jackpot winners of the last 96 hours overall with 1.5”-2”. Here’s the last 24 hours: only they got significant amounts

59 / 58 the misery continues for those who enjoy some dry / sunny warm weather this time of year. We'll see how much breaks in the clouds and any sun we can get later today and looking better Tuesday but a bit cloudy albeit warmer Wed. Omega - like trough coastas ridge center persists next cut off is Fri - Sun this coming week (still may see a trend unsettled/rainer)and weekend then ridging will push east 6/4 and beyond. 5/25 : Last day of the Memorial Day crapfest 5/26 - 5/28 : Near normal 5/29 - 6/2 : Below normal cut off 5/30-5/31, trough onshore flow 6/1 6/4 - Beyond : Ridge pushes east moderation to warmer / much warmer and next chance of heat

For the snowflakes out there. Pathetic huh. Lol.

Is this really necessary?

In other news, it’s still freaking raining… CTP discussion says it all depends on where the front sets up that will determine how much more rain south of I-80 will get over the next couple of days. I am ready for some sun…

0.2” today so far but just getting into the heavy stuff.

Rebuild in the front office and coaching.
