My obs....COLD AF....and it took one day of the heat coming on to make me sick. Happens every year! I need a humidifier asap. What a completely unreasonable event yesterday!

Snowing in Mooresville!

Daughter sent me a video of snow in Mooresville. Lake Norman area is seeing a good shower!

All I can think about regarding the recovery is mold. Everywhere. Helene was terrible here in the NC mountains with mold remediation needs. But in Jamaica with no power for months and the high heat and humidity, its going to be awful. Lot of folks starting over there. And they should seriously be looking at concrete printed homes. Never a better case study than now.

Thats a photo of my Jan 2026 winter storm right over Forsyth County. Snowing at 60" per hour right under those clouds.

I want to see this in 4 weeks when I know it is here to stay and will only get colder. End of August is waaay too early to get excited. October 90s are a thing you know!

Ocracoke Island now has mandatory evacs effective immediately. (If this should be in OBS please move. Not an active discussion other than here)

Mandatory Evacs beginning now thru Tuesday morning for Dare County. Will be expanded soon to include additional Islands / Counties I would imagine.

Correct. Not worried about their immediate safety, but the ferrys may stop running for 2-3 days and that alone causes some big issues out there.

Tell me about it. Half my family is on Ocracoke this week for vacation. Ferries are filling up quick.

What is the equivilent of crying "Uncle" to the weather gods?? I have had more thunderstorms in the last 45 days than I had in the prior 20 years. I kid you not. This is insane!

This 7 day forecast blows chunks!! I must somehow convince myself that these are just the early stages of our first named winter storm of the year. We're laying the groundwork. Calling those ducks to the pond. And I pray it rains enough to kill all my grass. Because I'm going on 3 weeks with no mow and I cant even cut it anymore. Just got back from Chicago. Weather sucked there too. What do we feel about bowling weather? Time to join a league??

When does Novemeber start? I'm so done with summer already....and it ain't even here yet!

One more shot baby. March Madness gonna bring the hammer down with one last shot from the polar vortex. It all comes down to timing (and sun angle of course)

I was sitting in Walkertown this morning watching the black clouds roll through Winston and down HWY 158 during the tornado warning. Most notably was the tidal wave of rain that hit my windshield all at once. Not sure I can remember a scenario seeing a wall of water coming at me like that. Winds were gusty, but the rain intensity was legit monsoon for about 10 mins.
