You forgot one.

Talk about feast or famine. We had 3.21" on Thursday the 11th and another .50" the day before on the 10th. Daughter who lives in Wallburg managed just over a tenth over the same two days. That's about some ten to twelve miles as the crow flies from us.

29.3 at 5am. Started the sprinklers on the grapevines at 2am to protect the young shoots just coming out.

You mean you don't go out on the hour to break up the ice like they do on Mt Washington?

34.0/26.0 four miles north of Kville.

Just went out and put the covers on the car's side mirrors and windshield. I'm 5 miles north of Kville and wondering if I should have forced wife to bale out and gotten ourselves a hotel down south somewhere for the duration. Too much politics involved in marrying a farmer's daughter who was raised to tough things out

I'm curious about an observation I made coming home into Kville yesterday from Thomasville. Not much ice had accrued in the trees except where I was passing highways 311 and both 40s coming back 66 into Kville from the south. The trees at those ramps and along the interstates were pretty white with ice, where once you got away from the highways there was little. Curious as to thoughts as to why. Is it because of the air movement from the traffic, the topography where they cut into the land for the highways, or some other nefarious contribution? Just curious.

Ice increasing in Pine Knolls north of Kville. Ice on trees increased from minimal around 8am to this I just took.

Saw this on Twitter. Reminds me of this board to a certain extent. weathermen watching incoming weather on large screen

If the models forecasted it the way this year has gone, there'd be no icing!

I'm about 4 miles north of Kville. Just came back from checking outside. Light cold rain and no signs of ice on the car. There is some accumulated sleet at the bottom of the windshield so assume it's been a bit since it fell and rain had washed most away. Back deck just looks wet. 32.3/31.0

On the way to work this am I almost ran over a skunk!

Can someone help me with the implications of this and how it applies to the upcoming weekend, if any?

Just doing general research into TPV's for self-education and came across this discussion link for current TPV events. On the sudden stratospheric warming and polar vortex of early 2021

32.8/32.0 w light snow. Had .25" of rain that fell between 6 and 6:30 that dropped temp a degree to 32.7. Overall more snow than last weekend.

... and before COVID-19!

It's thinking about it here north of Kville. Very very light snow mixed in with "thick rain drops" like it was doing last Saturday about this time when I had enough and went to bed.

Updated Greenville, SC photo from my daughter.

Daughter just sent this from Greenville, SC. She texted she wasn't going to get anything then sent this about fifteen minutes later.

Or is it fantasy? (Queen)

My wife promises it will. She says sometime in the early hours of Sunday morning go outside and look up. I've heard that advice from her for years, but the way the models have been behaving lately I have to agree with her .

Did you cheat us by cutting out the advert for how to lower our blood pressure quickly, or was the map a means to accomplish the same thing?

Found this link dated 27 Oct 2020. It references the loss of airline data being as much as 90%. “One of the many unfortunate aspects of the COVID-19 crisis has been the severe loss – of up to 90% - of aircraft-derived meteorological data as a result of the steep decline in airline operations and passenger flights since March 2020,” said WMO Secretary-General Professor Petteri Taalas.

But of course! Was there any doubt?
