    Good chance of rain in the forecast for Sunday. Probably the best chance we have until almost the end of the month. Let the rain dance begin.

    I drove down to Little River, SC yesterday to pick up our new dog and actually rain through a brief rain shower on my way back. It was officially 0.01”, but that’s 0.01” more than I’ve seen in a month. I had forgotten what rain was like.

    It’s 94 right now and not a cloud in sight. I hope everyone is enjoying this warm July day.

    Accuweather’s 2019-2020 winter “forecast” for the southeast US: We’ll see I suppose.
  5. magpiemaniac
    Yes, it was constant there for a while. Like you, the better rain was to my south, but at least we received about half an hour of a sustained borderline downpour.

    I used to say that weeds and grass looked similar when cut to a couple of inches. That is until I moved to a neighborhood where I’m surrounded by one-acre manicured lawns that look like a Pinehurst fairway the Tuesday before the US Open. That’s a lot of pressure to put on a person.

    This would be nice weather for six weeks ago, but not for September 25th. I guess we’re looking at October 4th or 5th at the earliest until we get a taste of fall.

    I’ve been a NUFC fan since Alan Shearer’s early days at the club. It’s a miserable existence with all the underachieving. P.S. Still no clouds.
  9. magpiemaniac
    Well, at this point, I’d settle for just seeing a cloud. This is ridiculous.

    Show-off. At least the humidity is reasonable here today.

    Nice thundershower making its way through northern Guilford right now. Really helping cooling things off. Should help the new grass seed, too.

    Well, you know it’s not really a disaster unless it affects Manhattan.

    I don’t expect much IMBY other than a breeze. Doubt we see much rain. After four days without power during Michael last year, I’m just not in the mood. As far OTS as possible is what I’m cheering for. We’ve had a long string of evening thunderstorms and heavy rains up until about a couple of weeks ago and we’ve since dried out. So I think we could handle the rain here. I just dislike the wind.

    I’ve been under this ever-growing cell in northern Guilford for the past hour or so. Continuous rumbles of thunder and hard rain. I want to go to bed, but my German Shepherd is an outdoor dog and he sleeps on the screened-in back porch at night and he’s not really a fan of loud thunder. He’s not terribly scared of it. He just likes company during thunderstorms.

    I’m moving from 3 miles west of downtown GSO to 11 miles north of downtown GSO. Being farther away from the I-40/I-85 battle zone hopefully increases my chances for wintry precip. I can’t complain though. At the old house, I did pretty well most winters. This upcoming season should be interesting. I’m so sick of this humid heat though. Bring on the months ending in BER.

    True. I had 13” of snow IMBY and it came from one snow on December 9. If you had told me last October that this is how winter would play out, I’d have said your were nuts. I would have rather had three 4” snows spaced out from Christmas to mid-February.

    Nice, white coating of sleet already on the grass and cars here in Greensboro. RAH: “Little or no sleet accumulation expected.”
  20. magpiemaniac
    The ridiculously obvious rule of thumb in NC is those north and/or west of a given location will usually receive more winter accumulation during any given season. Even within a single county. Individual storms might pan out differently, but this rule seems to hold true over an entire winter.

    That house is on Hooker Farm Road between Moore’s Wall and Tory’s Den Cave. It’s a pretty new house. I own 18 acres in Stokes for a future house and I’m in that area all the time. I like getting away from the city slickers.

    Two-hour delay for Guilford County schools (GSO) on Monday. Stokes County schools will be closed on Monday.
  23. magpiemaniac
    It wasn’t bad at all IMBY, but everything above ~15 feet is still coated and frozen. Nothing too thick, but enough to drop limbs here and there. I wonder what schools are going to do tomorrow. Roads seem fine, but areas in Forsyth and north and west Guilford could still have issues into tomorrow.
  24. magpiemaniac
    Woke up to glazed trees this morning. Roads don’t look bad at all. In-laws don’t have power, but we do at our house. Could have been far worse here. Thankfully, we stayed a degree or two warmer than anticipated.
  25. magpiemaniac
    Have fun up in Stuart. I own 18 acres up in northeast Stokes County for an eventual new house once we get the kids grown. I might drive up tomorrow (if I can) to maybe see a little more than what I’m expecting here. Here in GSO, I’m at 38 without the first flake.
