SENC

This "False Spring" is something ehh?

At least I'm keeping the Electric bill to almost Nil...

Sea surface Temp is stuck at 60...  Mucho delaying the "spring" fish run down here..

Were Usually catching Spanish Mackerel by now... Or Sea Mullet..

No signs of either Species of Fish... except waaaaay down south, like in Florida.. 

Not supposed to get above 70 all this week here on the Beach's 

Fresh off the Press 4/15/18 4pm

Local AFD calling for "flurries" here locally..

Possible strong to severe
thunderstorms will occur ahead of the low on Tuesday with
potential for a few flurries in the mix as colder air moves in
on the back end on Wednesday.

Any possible wintry weather would be east and North of GSP. The above kinda shows that tendency. Cold would be too late for western upstate. Looks like a bona fide shot WNC and North and East of CLT.

Last years, Last March 12th (2017) storm actually over-performed here, a very nice event.. I got a 1", one-half snow & ICE..  (at least for here on the Coast)..

It's showing on the panels,, something to watch at least.. 

Just beyond March Madness...

156 & 162 in Fantasy Land.. 

Remember the Ides of March 12th,, 2017?????

Or super Storm of 1993? 

The e14 Panel looks about right for March Madness, Killer frost & snow never fails..

Remember last year?

Afternoon Folks..

I'd have to give this Winter a A+ on account the Awesome cold spell we've had waaay down here in SENC (coast) and the 3.5 " of that great white fully stuff..

Everything here is budding about to burst open.. Daffodils are up & getting ready to bloom..

I kinda fear this,, As almost ALWAYS, we get a killer freeze, or snow Late Feb~Early March...

Bad for Fruit trees..

Though, Looks like possible T~Storms are forecasted tomorrow..

If I/We hear Thunder this time of year.. You know what that means.. (old Wives tale)

So there's that, going for Us...

Temps been nice down this way though..  Mid-50's & low 60's the past week...

Everyone enjoy your cold rain and sleet? Now you know what it feels like to live in the Wilmington, NC area during winter. ;-)

Har! Har! Har!!!!! OMG YOU are so friggin right!!!!!!!  Congrats to those that got a "dusting of snow" especially,,, to those that got good amounts.. For all the others.. We down this way don't get hyped up at ALL.. As We hardly NEVER get snow, or Ice even. Our snow(s) always come as a pleasant surprise..  One GOOD thing is coming out of this, calling it Our silver lining.. At LEAST these Temps will kill the dern Skeeters off, here in the Low country until Spring.
