Agreed - and I realize it most when there's snow on the ground. Snow melts so quickly, even with temps FAR below freezing if the sun is shining. Even in January.
Next week we hit the solstice and start the journey of shorter hours of daylight until late December. (even if it's cool next week...sun angle these days is brutal)
There's a lot of video out there of the PA flooding during Agnes...and in a lot of the video, people are wearing jackets. (I was 7 at the time and don't remember that level of specifics without seeing the video years later)
64 and spectacular at 8:30am. Hard to say anything negative at all about the weather in front of us, but as @Bubbler86 alluded to, one concern is the potential to dry out once again very quickly.
Just got home and the radar doesn't look inspiring - and I'm not being a downer...there is a path to no rain whatsoever by the looks of things. (still think it will rain - but I'm starting to wonder)
Being on vacation I was only half paying attention - it just seemed like all the talk last week was about heavy rains and potential flooding. I got home and was surprised.
Drove through parts of NE North Carolina who have had over 14" of rain in the past 2 weeks. There's water everywhere, and I mean that. There's no where for it to go.
Thanks guys. I was stunned to return home last evening and find out I got just over a half inch of rain for the entire week. It sounded like we got a lot more than that. Hopefully today works out- minus the severe.
Drenching, tropical like showers have been rolling through here since early AM. Nearest station (about 20 miles away) is reading 81/77. She's wringing it out pretty efficiently.
No, only have in here. Limited posting for obvious reasons but wanted to provide updates on what it's like here.
If you look at the Outer Banks on a map, it's sort of shaped like a boomerang. We are at the eastern most tip of it.
It's closer to the ocean than many oceanfront homes are, but because it's not, I pay a fraction of what the oceanfront homes go for. Private pool, hot tub, cornhole, and bikes all included and it's a great time.
