Occluded Front

I remember the 72-73 as I was 9th/10th grade kid and just gotten my drivers permit, I had left school early and needed some gas in the car. when I left that morning it was short sleeve weather. While pumping gas there came about a huge wind gust that blew over metal signs, trash cans, even broke a utility pole nearby as the wires stretched under the stress of the load. Then, probably the coldest air I ever felt so quickly hit me in the face. McCoys service station had a big outdoor thermometer as you went in to pay. One of the men there said the temp had dropped over 30 degrees from where it was just minutes before. Well, I left and headed home, heat on high in the car and just made it home when it began to snow those big size flakes. My dad called and said there was a run on bread and milk at the little mom/pop grocery that my aunt ran. No school for 2 days afterwards. Artic cold set in with highs not going above 32F and lows were single to 0 in the hill country. The rest of winter was good one the best.

I remember the last ice storm with pines and other trees crashing all night, no power.. stores closed, no vehicle travel, EMS and fire wrecking while responding...many people had pipes burst..people had heart attacks trying to clear drives

Just short of 3 inches and still raining at noon

I pray it will at least be interesting and throw down a few surprises. Lots of different early casting around the world right now.

Upstate SC Spartanburg...Gaffney...Union areas getting very dry as well and people with sinus and headache issues are really feeling the pressure increase

Finally I can come out of the cave and do some painting and yard work. Its been just miserable since July

3 of the 12 months my body hates to see come around June-July-August I get sunburned just doing my job, metal burned from car exterior, hand burns from steering wheel, back of the leg seat burn from leather seat when wearing shorts, have to hydrate way more than I care to and pee more than I need to. Only positive thing, heat makes me eat less so I will shed a pound or two.

Was only 43 where it showed 35 would be but the wind blew all night lightly so I think that kept it from going lower

I think Mar of 2025 had the most windy days I can remember the past few years.

Some of these idiots need to face a ten thousand dollar non negotiable fine or 1 year jail to showcase their stupidity and made to replant trees lost.

My cost of just natural gas usage alone will be near 400.00

25 just 3o mins south of Hub City and clear skies at 9 pm...all roads salt brine covered

down to 24F and sunny

Down to 24 just before sunrise this 23rd day of Dec 2024

Well, AC yesterday and heat today. Takes a special kind of people to live in the Carolinas.

Just south of Hub City it hit 84 humid ridiculous degrees but saw the sun after 4 days of clouds and 1/2 inch of rain during the period. Wildlife acting strange today, guess they confused on what season we are in also.

I am just glad the dry spell we currently have did not occur during the July Aug with 100 degree days and 70's humidity to deal with. Hopefully a change in the pattern comes about. These model runs from day to day are depressive to say the least.

total of 1 inch 30 miles SE of Spartanburg from the event

it was 98 between 3 and 4 pm on August 29th here at my residence. This morning Aug 30 as I walked out to put food for the critters, it was a heat blast of humid 75 degree air. I will be glad for cooler air to arrive and hopefully it brings some abundant rains.

First day in awhile I actually felt like I was not inside a oven. Low was 61 with high of 83 I expect Thursday to be a great early taste of fall.

LR showing triple digit heat to end out August, more 103 F air temps for a few days for the Hub City area of SC. This has been the absolute worse summer as far as high humidity ever in my 60+ years of having the pleasure of existing upon this planet. I had a lot planned to do this summer but all I wound up doing was paying utility bills, feeling miserable 24/7 because of the hostile sun making me feel as if just maybe a giant ant in the sky had targeted me with a big magnifying glass. I will embrace the Autumn and winter months and savor everyday of hopefully what will be chilly and delightful days and nights and hope that the snow drought will be broken.

last night netted me 2 inches of precious rain.

Thankfully received 1/2 inch at some point during the night but just 30 mile to my west some lucky folks got near 4 inches. Today is another day so maybe it will be my counties time to cash in on some much needed rain.

Its just plain tee miserable out there. I really feel bad for pets, cattle ,deer and all being subjected to this kinda heat and humidity.

finally got 1/2 inch late Sunday ...thank the lord
