Yep fellas! Woke up and rain. I think we have entered into tropical rain forest standards. 

I'm gonna punch that John Fogerty in the face. For the love of God, we've SEEN THE RAIN!

Thanks for the vote of confidence fellas. I was actually thinking of delaying the Fall/Winter thread until the first of October.  Last September was horrible.  So I was thinking lets get the thread up and running when we can actually track some cooler/colder weather.

Sounds good! Anything to change the mojo!

Yeah September has been the month. 

We gotta change up the mojo this year. Sorry @Tyler Penland but the last 2 winters (and the winter threads you started) haven't been as productive. 

Met, you get my vote.

So when exactly do we move to the Fall/Winter discussion? September? Giddy I am.

On the bright side... with the near daily rain, I can’t recall a time where my grass has ever looked so good in August. It’s growing like it’s late April. 

What grass? Mine was inundated with fungus and ended up rotting. I couldn't get it to dry out here at my house. Lol.

Starting to get a little concerned about flooding from tropical systems the next few weeks. Looks like a general 1 to 3 inches by the weekend from an upper low before any potential tropical trouble.

Could get hairy boys and gals.....

Memories of late spring, early summer of '18.

A bit chilly this morning with a temp of 50! Man I love this early fall weather.

Yes sir! I woke up at 52!

Yeah heavy storms early fall then probably more heat. Typical.

Looks like we may see some early fall weather in the next week or so around here.

Bring. It. On.

Gonna be nice!

Welp..... July is winding down and that means August is the unofficial start to the WNC fall and winter discussion. Everyone should start trickling back in soon. Better get warmed up, it's going to be a marathon!

I haven't had a drop of rain at my house in over a week now. Storms all around almost daily, but nothing.

Transylvania has been getting hammered. By the way, this is how it felt watching your snow posts all winter.

If you're 70 them I'm going to be 90. PLEASE NO!

Someone has to make the sacrifice. Godspeed, IceAge!

"Gonna be 75 and sunny today with a chance of 30 and snow, can't rule out a tornado or 2, and it wouldn't surprise me if it came a gully washer this afternoon"

I thought it was going to dry out some

Im looking for some possible winter weather the end of the month. We may have a sizable shift in the pattern to bring us some more cold and snow.

It's showing near 80 at the end of next week for around AVL. 

Even if it does cool down, I think cold will be relative to the time of year. In a year where we had trouble getting cold enough in January, it's surely going to be hard in late March, especially when it's pushing 50 all the way up near the Canadian border. I read that rivers in the Dakota's are already above flood stage due to snowmelt. It's really going to be hard for that air to cool enough down south if it's not running across a frozen tundra to our north.

I'm not meaning to be a Debbie downer but I just don't see it. Not this year.

I think one more snow, hopefully a big one before we call 'Spring-time'...

It's going to be tough even for the higher elevations. AVL doesn't get out below 40 (even the overnight lows) for the foreseeable forecast and temps have by far and away been our biggest issue this winter even in January, let alone March and April. I say stick a fork in this one, it's springtime for the south.

I know I'm trying to get pumped for a 4 incher and everyone is talking about fly fishing lol. 

If you're pumped about a 4 incher, wait until you catch a 20 incher........... wait, we're talking about snow now aren't we?

I'm with you there. I need some new hip waders and to replenish my panther Martin collection. I donated about 20 spinners last season to various rocks. Maybe it's time I try a fly rod.

Been fly fishing all my life. You'll donate just as many flies if not more, to various trees. Lol.

People only remember the good years. 11-12 was a bad year 08-09 was the worst I can remember! There was a few other  bad winters in the early 2000's as well as the 90's. 

That entire decade from about '99 to '09 was as bad as I can remember.

Agreed this is a great NWF setup.

 

On a side note Hunter, if I ever see you apologize for a missed forecast again, I am going to come up to Candler and smack you upside the head. Lol. Dude, you were all over this thing and provided an immense amount of knowledge along the way. Thermals screwed up the bottom line but who cares, you forecasted the system very well.

Alright, massive change in the last 20 minutes l, snow sticking much more and feels colder.  Ground turning white rapidly with pretty heavy rates currently.

Noticed in the other thread that a poster in Chatanooga said it has dropped 3 degrees in the last hour. It's coming.
