    I love northern Rutherford County. And I swear, if you wanted to drop off the face of the earth, you could do it in northern Cleveland County.

    Light rain in PG at 38.8/32.5. Temp has gone up a degree or so with onset of rain.

    40.1/30 here in Pleasant Gardens at 9:00p.

    We need @strongwxncup in here as well.

    @wncsnowjust tryna keep it real. Nothing wrong with that.

    Open for 10 minutes and the "hot" light is already on! You like to see it.

    I made it to 55 today. 48 currently. Clouds rolling in. Doesn't seem like we'll see much out of this first system. Won't keep me from looking. But, it's the weather, and subject to change!

    I'm in. I grew up in Rutherford. Been in McDowell now for 39 years. I guess I am Mr. Foothills. :)

    50 up the hill here. I'll follow the projected forecast temps closely the next few days.

    I'm trying to recall the evolution on this one. Not coming to me presently. Interesting precip distribution. Did they lose it down in Raleighwood?

    4.13" here. Not much wind...yet. Hope it stays that way. Big winds have long unsettled me.

    2.44" in the bucket so far. 37.4/37.1

    Got a little sleet mixed in with some light drizzle here in Pleasant Gardens at 12:25a. Temp is 37.6 with a DP of 32.

    Looks about right to me, too. That's a juicy system. I also wonder if the school delays and closings have as much to do with the forecasted winds and how they might coincide with bus travel. Soggy soil and high profile busses on windy roads seem a bit of a liability.

    Anybody got a weather radio recommendation? I have on old Archer Radio Shack model my father had given me many moons ago...and it's seen better days (kinda like Radio Shack). Still works...somewhat, but the broadcast from Mt. Pisgah WXL56 is really garbled.

    I might do my "Old Man Yells At Clouds" impersonation.

    I do recall January '77 being a very snowy month. I was a freshman at Wake Forest. I think that was the only time in my four years there that classes were canceled. Maybe twice during the month? I had a suitemate from Haywood County (Canton, to be precise) whose younger sister did not attend school the entire month of January. I'll have to see if I can find NOAA records for that winter.

    1.04 here and currently 33.3.

    32.2/32 here just after 8a. .63 in the guage. Some icing. Just enough to make my 'indicator' jack pine droop from the top a bit.

    19 for me this morning. Just shy of 46 for the high today.

    I remain fascinated about the consistent temp difference between @wncsnowand me. We're only a very short distance apart, and I'm probably 300'+ in elevation difference. I've crept up to 35 in the last hour. He was at 29 when I was ~33.

    Currently 35.4/22.5 here in PG.

    Been a minute for me, too. I think it was during the Eastern days when I joined. I was still teaching then (gone now 13 years). I was (and remain) fascinated by the weather; especially winter weather. I was the "snow guy" at my high school. Not a better resource than this community to up your weather street cred. Appreciate y'all.
