Being cautious here. Not going anywhere near big crowds. Only go out for food, groceries, and doctor's visits. I do walk my pups twice a day. Will not be going into any restaurants for at least another month.
I think you can kiss the NHL, NBA, and MLB seasons goodbye for this year. I highly doubt football season will be cancelled due to states starting to open up again more and more.
Wow, luckily it wasn't that bad here. Probably around 40 mph tops but very intense rain with wind changing directions a few times. Very nice squall line for us, intense but no damage.
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.
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"
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.
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
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.
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.
