The covid-19 thread in the Off Topic forum disappeared. Did that thread get too rowdy while I was away? With all this leisure time, I’ve been reading and watching more news and interviews. (Kill me.) Several things I’ve noticed especially among people in their 20s and 30s: ”Super” is being used excessively as an adverb. People are now “super excited” or something is now considered “super easy”. Please stop this madness. “New normal.” Ugh. New normal is yesterday’s “seeking closure”. Inability to annunciate some T sounds in words like important or mountains. I’m hearing a lot of “em-poor-uhn” or “mao-uhns”.

Congratulations! I found some ground beef and chicken this morning. Limit of two per customer.

It seems like the Southeastern forum has been the least active regional forum lately. Our weather must really be boring. Gee, I wish we had a current event to discuss. Nothing comes to mind.

Canes chances have improved over the past week especially considering that some of the guys are waking up and a few other eastern teams are slumping. I bet some team will miss the WC2 slot on a tiebreaker. It’s going to be close.

In an effort to minimize the further spread of the covid-19 coronavirus, Coach Roy Williams plans to announce later today that the Tar Heels do not intend to participate in the NCAA tournament.

This place is quite. I guess it’s going to take a viral pandemic, alien invasion, or notable weather event to get this place buzzing again.

Shocker. I guess I’ll take 65 and rainy over 35 and rainy though.

I love lamp.

Y’all have been needing some rain down there, haven’t you? Hope you get it. It’s easy to forget that our friends just a couple of states over can be experiencing the opposite weatherwise. I know that south Texas has been really dry. That’s why I tell myself not to complain about my rice paddy lawn. We’ll miss the rain later in the year when we can’t buy a drop.

“Little pink houses for you and me...”

You can see the leeward screw job on full display here. NW Piedmont did better than expected.

My new 22kw generator has passed inspection and is going online this morning. Severe weather season may commence now.

Considering these probabilities, I’m not in the least bit surprised that I scored a couple of inches of snow.

Yes, it’s over me right now. Light snow at the moment.

I ended up with 2” ten miles north of Greensboro. Small victory considering the craptacular winter we’ve had. I’ve officially received twice as much snow as DC and Philly COMBINED this season. Think about that.

Temp down to 37. All snow with mulch white and grass areas starting to stick.

38/25 and moderate to heavy snow. Only barely beginning to stick around mulched areas.

Someone submitted a string of mPING reports while driving down Hwy 52 from Mt. Airy to Winston-Salem.

Temp fell from 42 to 39 soon after snow began picking up here. Once it’s all said and done, we’ll have 4” of snowfall and 0.25” on the ground to show for it.

Light snow flizzard ten miles north of downtown GSO. Just now started.

Saw an mPING report just now of snow in Kernersville. Nothing IMBY yet.

Overcast and 41/24 in GSO. Haven’t seen the first drop of precipitation in any form.

Isn’t that the truth? My yard has been a swamp for weeks and now that we’re on the edge of having the right temps, we can’t buy a drop. “Our wills and fates do so contrary run.”

I’m one of maybe half a dozen people who use mPING in the entire Triad.
