Occluded Front

Down in Hub City the wind has began gusting within the last 45 minutes, gonna be cold working the job outside tonight.

Woke up to Columbus Day morning to low of 39F had to activate heat for the 1st time this season as temp in the old house was at 50 F but it felt colder. Today it was 50F with broken canopy for sunrise and as of 12:45pm its 74 and mostly sunny.

I wonder the same thing about all these pine cones, can't see the grass for pine cones all over the place and for what its worth the lack of spider webs the last 2 months is strange and the ones that I do find are about 3 foot off the ground and not high like usually.

Just down the road from Hub City it was 64 with a light breeze. refreshing to say the least.

A really good downpour between Chesnee and Hub City Tuesday, visibility was down to about 1 car length for a time

Labor day and noon temp at 90 with real feel at 101 means bye bye to my grass mowing plans

There have been two winters on record with ~2.0 RONI peak that were quite cold in the SE, 1957-8 and 1965-6. Also, 1972-3 and 1982-3 both had historic winter storms and they peaked way up at 2.2 to 2.5 per RONI. I was born in March of 57 so I can't say much on that other than they were good years but I do remember the 72-73 winter pretty well in the upstate of SC as I had short sleeves to start out the day,not sure it was Dec or mid Jan but just got out of class at school and was pumping gas in my car, just 16 and not long had gotten my drivers license. Long story short an Artic cold came through town with such strong winds that traffic signals fell, trees blew over, I helped chase a mans toupee across the parking lot. In the time it took me to pump gas, pay for it get back in car and get home about 40 mins temps were below freezing and snow had began to fall. We probably talking a 40 degree temp drop in a short time. I never will forget that day.
