Buckethead

I was heading to central SC this weekend. Maybe not though...this setup looks mighty impressive.

31 and flurries currently. I'm glad we return to spring tomorrow.

Sunday is shaping up to be an active day in the mountains. SPC AC 120730 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0230 AM CDT Fri Apr 12 2019 Valid 141200Z - 151200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN OHIO AND WEST VIRGINIA SOUTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHEAST... ...SUMMARY... Strong/severe thunderstorms are anticipated Sunday -- centered over the mid and upper Ohio Valley, and central and southern Appalachians. ...Synopsis... A strong mid- and upper-level trough exiting the Plains early in the period is expected to advance steadily east across the Mississippi/Tennessee/Ohio Valleys and central Gulf Coast states, reaching a position from the lower Great Lakes to the southern Appalachians/Southeast late in the period. At the surface, a deepening low is forecast to shift east-northeast across the Ohio Valley through the day, and then across the central Appalachians to the Hudson Valley vicinity by the end of the period. Widespread thunderstorms -- and a broad severe risk -- will accompany this system. ...The Ohio Valley and central Appalachians south to the Southeast... Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to be ongoing in a north-south band from Indiana to Alabama early in the period, ahead of the advancing cold front. As modest heating of a moistening pre-frontal warm sector commences, 500 to 1000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE is expected to evolve ahead of the ongoing band of convection, from the Ohio Valley to the Gulf Coast. This should result in a gradual intensification of storms through the afternoon, aided by a very strong deep-layer wind field accompanying this storm system -- including 80 to 100 kt south-southwest flow at mid levels. Primary storm mode is progged to be banded/loosely linear, with embedded/complex bows and rotating updrafts. Damaging winds will likely be the primary threat, though tornadoes will also be possible across much of the area -- particularly near and west of the mountains. Risk should diminish gradually through the evening, though local wind risk may persist through the end of the period.

Got a feeling that I'm too far north and west to see much...which is fine by me.

Pouring snow up here in Wolf this morning, 26/25.

I'm ready for some 50's. I can break out the flip flops then.

I'm smelling petrichor this morning for the first time in quite a while. It's been a while since the ground was dry enough for that.

Much like Gamecock fans, I think most people in here are already saying "wait until next year." I like where I'm sitting for next week.

It's currently 11° here. It's cold but it's nothing like last January's cold. We hit -9° a few times.

Well, not nobody lol...

You had 6" of snow last Saturday?

37/36 here in Wolf this morning. The heat has been turned on, lol.

Come on 384 hr. GFS!

177mph winds at 900mb. Geez.

That's what I did. 20 years of Columbia SC summers is enough. Now I live at 4400' and never reach 80°.
