Crazy thick fog Tonight. Worst I've seen in a while. When the sidewalk is foggy you know it's thick.

Reminds me of Blowing Rock in November 2020.

The thickest fog I ever had the displeasure of driving through.

Blue Ridge Parkway from West Jefferson to Blowing Rock. Then 421 back.

Headed for the 4th warmest February on record for the US.  If AI can improve our long range modeling then I'm all for it cuz the CPC Seasonals didn't show this coming.  I'm at the point where I don't trust a forecast whether it is from the CPC, WPC, NOAA, NWS or any other acronym you want to toss out. They're all wrong.  I'm seriously going to dig out the Farmer's Almanac this afternoon and see if that was even close.   

I'm down with OPP.

I have zero doubt in my mind that this will finally be the moment cold air moves from the long range to the medium and short range. Expect that pattern to persist through June. It does every single year.

The blocking comes just as the lineman looks back at the sacked and defeated dreams of a snowy NC winter QB lying on the ground as the clock strikes triple zeroes.

Sign me up and cash me out!

I've reached the acceptance phase.

Bring on the severe weather storm chasing!

Mother Nature owes me a waterspout that just hovers over Lake Norman and harms no one and destroys nothing.

Even our fantasy storms are shit now

Trade my sleet for Missouri snow please

Lake Norman looks sexy in 70 degrees in January.

Put on your low cut dress.

So what activities do you guys like to do in the spring?

Besides bemoaning the pathetic Piedmont winter that preceded it, it's all things watersports. Kayaking, paddleboarding, boating. Also have gotten into disc golf the last few years. Fortunate to have a really nice course within walking distance.

1/21/22

2 beautiful inches of powder in Cornelius, NC

Come on back, you hear

Can Lake Norman join the Foothills party?

We south Piedmont folk are also loathing the current pattern.

Not a drop of the powder here since 1/21/22.

Personifies our winters in the Piedmont 

Cue the Sturgill Simpson 

Pour me something tall and strong...

Rainy then cold then rainy January.

Anyone know of a snow dance?

Dear SE Winter Weather Gods,

What have we done to forsaken you??

Warmed up from 36 to 37 here at Lake Norman last hour.

Bummer.

Thought maybe we could sneak closer to freezing mark before the warm nose crept in to our area.

Dusting off the paddleboard 

Looking at mid range, Piedmont is absolutely punting until the last week of January.

Hope you guys score in the mountains.

Aannnddd we move on to mid January.  The cold is indeed coming, but is the pattern working with us or against us?  Polar vortex coming to the party with a strat warming sure does sound nice in Jan/Feb, but not at the expense of our storm track.  The drama builds and the clock is ticking!!  (Am I the only one with Deja Vu here??)  

CSNY Deja Vu

Record is skipping

Going to be a rainy January anywhere outside the mountains at this rate

Piedmont:

'I would gladly pay you in February for a token flake in January.' 

Looks like a punt until late January
