  1. Severe Thunderstorm warning for us now as squall line moves in. Getting dark.
  2. Well it will be May and it's only a few days.
  3. Picked up .44" with the passage of those storms. Had Tornado warnings for us but actually got very little wind out of it. Had much higher gusts long before the storms came thru. Was out walking my pups when one particular gust actually stopped me in my tracks. Heard a loud crack and saw a very large branch fall from a tree and 50 yards away from me. Currently 67/65 with winds in the 20 mph + range once again.
  4. Just had a nice severe warned storm move thru with heavy rain and pea sized hail. First hail I have seen in many years. Picked up .49" real quick. Also dropped our temp from 75 to 65. EDIT: 2nd severe warned storm came thru and boy did it get dark but only got some wind and rain out of it. Total from both storms .65"
  5. And to go to 2 stores just to find some chicken. All lunch meat, bacon, potatoes and of course toilet paper are gone. I found the toilet paper at a hardware store.
  6. Scored a pack of toilet paper today. Right place at the right time. Feels like I won the lottery. LOL
  7. Well all NC public schools are now closed for the next 2 weeks per order of Gov. Cooper.
  8. That's a good thing. Keeps the yellow pollen down.
  9. 40 years ago today. Who remembers the blizzard of March 1980? I lived in Virginia Beach at the time and we had around 15" with drifts up to 6 feet. It was the most snow I had ever seen until 1996. https://www.wral.com/40-years-ago-today-20-inches-of-snow-in-eastern-nc/18987680/?fbclid=IwAR2ltD6_LoJHnR8FGqDBglz1yIlQ_75h8JDqSRH8DmrhJvwCuDvp_YfxVJk
  10. Let's not forget the 1980 blizzard for the eastern third of NC and VA. But I don't see anything like those storms in our future this year.
  11. I give it a solid F. Lack of any real cold. My lowest temp so far has only been 25. And only 1 inch of snow which was gone by morning. Horrible winter. Flowering trees are already blooming here.
  12. What a horrible storm for us. Picked up 1.40" of rain followed by maybe an inch or 2 of snow, judging by looking out the window at 2 am, but by dawn most of it has melted.
  13. Well after 14 hours of steady rain, amounting to 1.39", it has finally changed over to snow with some sleet mixed in. Temp 34/33.
  14. Still rain here. 1.28" so far. Sitting at 36/35. Although we needed the rain, am disappointed as usual. I really hate this area.
  15. Exactly 1.00" of rain so far today. Temp at 38/36. Snow is getting closer and closer.
  16. .71" of rain today. Still raining at 41/39.
  17. Just got back from taking the dogs on they afternoon walk. Cold and wet. 41/40 and nothing but rain here near New Bern.
  18. Temp went up to 44 at noon but is now back down to 43. Need It to drop more.
  19. Rain and 43/40. Temp has dropped 5 degrees since rain started at 8:45 this morning, 2 hours ago.
  20. 48/37 about 5 miles southeast of New Bern.
  21. It certainly was last year for us. We had a whopping 0.5" which was our total for the year!
  22. Looks like this could be our 3rd torch February in a row. Only time will tell but cold weather doesn't look likely for the next 2 weeks.
  23. That is exactly what I am thinking. My area will be lucky to see low's in the 20's again. This is looking like it may be the first winter in some time that I don't see temps fall below 25 much less 20.
