    Bank on it. Snow on the wedding day is abundant good luck!

    Man, this is really gonna make all those yootoob hypers look silly. They might lose a few subscribers over this!

    Lets be very clear...it was 14".

    I was up on top of Pilot yesterday and across the VA line at my farm and both places have massive piles of brown leaves on the deck already. Even my 40' tall tulip poplar here in the triad is 90% bare. No color at all. So I agree that anywhere outside the mountains is likely to miss out on the color, but not the crunch. Wear those dustmasks sucking up those leaves!

    I'll take 70s and 50s year round with the occasional 4" snow mixed in. Fine by me.

    Lol!! I said "may". I'm covered.

    I dont see how it cannot cool down. Shorter days quickly limiting heating, sun angle getting lower to reduce efficiency of heating, and there's going to be 4 feet of snow on the ground along the Canadian border! Look at the bright side, if this keeps up we may be on the firing line for some epic winter storm tracks!

    That looks like a brownout to me. A quick yellowing, then death. No way these trees stand a chance of much color this year. My yard is already full of dead leaves here in the Triad.

    Just saw that myself regarding the cool down potential for the first week in Oct. But cooling is only half the battle. If we lose our growing season for lawn and garden, I pray we don't have a wet winter because everything I own will be mud by February. Need....rain...now.

    I needed a break in the action and fortunately had to travel to Aspen CO this weekend. The weather is stunning!! 60s and 30s, beautiful days. And we had snow flurries from a passing cloud yesterday at 12,000 feet going over Independence Pass. I'll do whatever dance, ritual or sacrifice to the memory of John Denver that I need to do to bring this weather home with me to the Southeast.

    What is stunning to me about the charts above is that we ended up with 2018 being a near record Sept for heat....while we were having record annual rainfall amounts during a fall when we couldnt find a dry weekend anywhere and begging for it to stop raining. That to me is even more impressive than this year.

    Until Jerry or one of his Caribbean cousins shows up and wrecks the party with 100% humidity and 85° temps well into Oct. We are not going to get off the hook easy this year.

    Look to the upper midwest at 6-7 days out and see if its really there. Then all we need to worry about is breaking down the ridge. I fear we are already seeing some familiar battle lines drawn.
  14. kvegas-wx
    And that may be the only moisture your lawn sees as well unless the tropics come through for us. I didnt get a drop from Dorian in the Triad.

    If we lock in the SER again and sweat through October I think at least 70% of this board will need some sort of mental therapy. The long range models are just not good at predicting pattern changes.....ever. #trustbroken

    There are benefits.....it is much easier to kill my lawn for reseeding when it is bone dry. And I was able to open up a mile or so of atv trails yesterday on the tractor without sliding around in mud. Beyond that, this is miserable! I just hate to rely on a tropical system to break the pattern because we all know how bad the inland flooding can be across the hill country.
  17. kvegas-wx
    The nighttime lows are starting to crash into the lower 60s here in the Triad but we still have a couple of weeks to get past the tropical influence and reset the fall progression. Looks like we will be running 5-7° high for the next 10 days or so. I swear if we get a SER that locks in I'll go postal. I cant deal with that again this year.

    You might be surprised. They may port call and take you to Coco Cay and just not let you tour Nassau. I bet they clean up Coco Cay real damn quick. Two weeks is plenty of time to bring in dozens of private cleaning crews.

    Nope, lets get it right. EVERYONE hates (non red-tag) NYC/NJ tropical posters. (love you guys in the winter though, kind of funny to watch the freakouts) Evidently people in the Bahamas have nothing on "Sandy Survivors". Give it up people. Sandy, by comparison, was a little coastal flooding combined with a few EF-1 tornadoes for localized heavy damage. Most of an island was just wiped off the map by Dorian. No equals here.

    Just give me Accuwxs "mainly pleasant" conditions all the way to Christmas Eve, then a 1 week long polar vortex between Christmas Day and New Years Day that dumps double our avg annual snowfall, then normal winter conditions for Jan/Feb and I'll deal with whatever is left over in March. It's not that hard Mother Nature. It's just not that hard.
  21. kvegas-wx
    So much for that August "polar vortex". Looks like it is skipping off to the Northeast leaving us with basically normal temps, maybe a couple degrees cooler, and dry here in the triad. I'm just going to wait for mid-Sept to cash in my chips for a cool and crispy, leaf crunching fall.
  22. kvegas-wx
    I didnt think the sandhills would be that far behind the triad but you are correct. Went and looked at the averages and you are a solid 3-4 weeks behind us through Sept/Oct. I need some 50's soon!
  23. kvegas-wx
    Daily Hi/Lo averages across the triad and most of the carolinas dont really fall much in August. September is the cliff. Drops from mid 80's down to low 70's for Highs and down into the low 50' for lows. So not much relief....yet. But certainly a pause from 90's for many.
  24. kvegas-wx
    It's way too early to be worried about cold and snow but what is all this nonsense popping up in my Youtube feeds about August cold, amazing fall snow totals, polar vortexes and the like?? You would think winter starts tomorrow and its going to be epic! I think once I clicked on one video Youtube turned my recommendations into weather weenie central.

    Fantastic! I'll be in Jacksonville FL all week. Looks to be the hottest place on the planet. Just what I needed. I must be in a microclimate here in Forsyth County the last week or so. It seems like it has rained every day. Its raining now! We had FFWs in Winston 2 nights ago. I dont need much more rain right now, but I'm sure many do. 13 weeks to October. Countdown underway.......
