    Just measured exactly 3" out back here north of Kernersville, NC. Started snowing here about 2 this afternoon...Never had any rain. Picture is from my back yard at 3:45 this afternoon, a little more than an hour and a half after light fine flurries started followed by a medium steady snow.

    Should be good as long as you don't lose power.

    Hush your mouth! I don't live far from you Burnsie. So far Pine Knolls is underperforming our near neighbors but are catching up quickly over the last couple hours. We're right around 4" since the rain started.

    Yep. This is crazy. We now have added another 2.45 inches of rainfall today. It's a firehose. Might be a little break coming shortly. My basement is beginning to take water. Ugh. Just got home from Asheville area where it was surprisingly much drier. Only to find water seeping into basement. Got out the wet vac and cranked it up.

    After all of the earlier monsoon rains I purchased a rectangular Rubbermaid type storage box, set it over where 95% of my water leaks in, got me a pump and float switch, and am hoping it works. Got tired of having to use the wet dry vac.

    Last time I checked so was weather. Still opinions that provide information good or bad. YOU missed the point.
     

    Let's face it. When the rubber meets the road, all of this falls into a form of basic statistical analysis. You determine a problem or a desired positive result and look for a cause. In medicine, you have a disease and search for something you see over and over and you determine if there's a connection, and if so, the causation of the repeating observation. Same with finances, science, behavior, fishing and weather. If the fish tend to be biting more when it's cloudy, you'll fish when it's cloudy. If you get spanked for hitting your sister, you'll quit hitting your sister. If it snowed in the past when certain conditions occur, we go weany mode when we see these conditions. None of this results in a perfect prognosis, else cancer would have been cured aa long time ago. And as for Robert, I really appreciate his insights into our weather patterns!

    Winter 2018-2019 Speculation

    We speculate on here about winter, and some write winter outlooks, etc., but in the real world, are there companies that actually make use of winter outlooks?  I would assume that they are used for energy market trading...and I would assume that, say, outdoor clothing companies (e.g. North Face) could make use of winter outlooks in preparing for supply & demand.  Anyway, I'm just speculating.  I was wondering if anyone could share info beyond speculation on this topic.  Thanks.

    I worked for a large apparel company in IT. Planning looked 13 weeks out into the future driven by market trends, placed orders, and anticipated orders based on input from relations with the retail stores. I wasn't at the level of knowing what was discussed, only in supporting the IT infrastructure. I'm sure that weather would affect the retail stores order planning, which would then affect our planning thru a change in the placed and anticipated orders.

    I think Burger was correct the first time, in that in the weenies mind, he HAS no lack of knowledge when it comes to knowing more than the pros.

    I think you meant "...lack of knowledge..."

    "No lack of knowledge" would be a double negative implying they do have this weather knowledge you speak of, upon which they base their opinions.
