The wind is now whipping

Indeed Toss it

It sounds absolutely perfect I’m glad the kids are enjoying it and bringing smiles to everyone’s faces

That’s because Columbia is surrounded by portals from hell

The sref gives mby a flizzard after 1.5” of rain, possible thunder and a breeze

Welcome MegaMike! The spiders don’t bother me, it’s the flying palmetto bugs that freak me out Mosquitoes will carry you away, so keep your spray of choice handy. The noseeums are the spawn of satan. We have the following seasons...Almost summer, summer, molten lava and a glorious 2 weeks of fall. Dress accordingly and be prepared for humidity so thick, you can slice it. I’ve been here 30ish years and I still haven’t found where yonder is, but it’s in every request for directions. Barbecue is for eating, not cooking, because it’s too hot already without having to keep coals under the meat. I leave it to the professionals. You’re on your own when it comes to sports though The best thing about living in the south is when it does finally snow, everything closes and the only thing to do is play in it. Don’t ever wait to play in it because it’s melted before the day is over. Life is much more relaxed than up north and the people are super friendly. Magpie is correct about the casual waving, especially on the back roads and neighborhoods. You’ll get teased about your accent here and after you go home to visit, they’ll tease you about your new southern slang and drawl. One more thing......The SE crew is the best of the best

It has been perfect temps for the most part. Great riding and training weather for the horses. Who am I kidding...great for me too That looks really nice as we head into the heart of winter OMG! I’ve missed your face

The bolded: Right!? This is the first winter in a very very long time that I’m actually excited about. Will it come to fruition? We live in the south and only time will tell, but I’m happy there will be opportunities as we head into the heart of winter instead of what we’ve experienced the last couple of years. The italic: Agreed

They are jellyfish clouds https://weather.com/science/weather-explainers/news/jellyfish-clouds-cumulus-altocumulus-cirrostratus

That’s exactly what I said to my co worker I’ve only experienced one, while at Arabian regionals, just west of Ft Worth back in the 80’s. I would love to experience another.

It’s close enough for me besides..... I didn’t sleep the week leading up to it so all my days ran together

Nice Severe in the midlands and snow for the upstate

I’m so old that I walked across the Ohio river when it froze back in 77-78 We did have the day after Christmas snow 10 years ago

Yes

There’s a mini flizzard imby at the moment

I’m old and forget names if I don’t see it often enough

Glad you decided to post

I’m not sure our thoughts have agreed this closely in almost a decade I don’t know whether to be scared or stoked. I’m going with the latter

GSP.... .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 100 PM Sunday...A broad area of hipres will build across the Glakes region and push east thru the period. This will provide clearing conds across the FA early Tue and deep layered dry air will persist thru the day as an upstream h5 ridge axis crosses the southeast states. Winds remain rather gusty across the higher NC mtn elevations early Tue and will begin to subside as the flow veers ne/ly throughout the day. Min temps will be noticeably colder than Mon/s lows as a cP airmass mixes in and drops temps to arnd freezing over the non/mtns and a few degrees colder across the mtn valleys. Very good isol will be had during the day, but with llvl CAA maintained, max temps will be held abt 8-10 degrees below normal. This new airmass will set the stage for a likely wintry event Tue night as a dynamical upper low quickly impinges upon the region. Expect a primary sfc cyclone to develop across the nrn GOM and traverse NE thru the period. The associated h85 flow will bring moist WAA advection, which is noted in well defined warm noses on the latest soundings. The models have trended a little colder with the sfc layer air and for now have only bumped temps down a degree or two. This brings freezing and below wetbulb temps into the Upstate, where a mix of -fzra/ra may occur along the I-85 corridor and more predominantly -fzra north across the NC/SC border and into most of NC thru mid morning. The warm nose will be weaker across the NC mtns and expect the better freezing rain accums east over the NC fthills and NW piedmont. Too early for specific values as any change in sfc temps and the timing of the warm nose will make for sigfnt diffs wrt p/types. But for now, this looks like an advisory level event with marginal warning criteria possible along the srn BR escarpment. Snowfall amts should remain low-end as most of it shud fall as sleet, so will expect only an inch or so across the nrn NC mtns and higher peaks. There remains some uncertainty with the breakdown timing of the llvl wedge, so have low-end chance PoPs persisting into Wed evening. Min temps will again be quite cold with readings arnd freezing over all locales, while max temps struggle in the lower to mid 40s.

Still looking icy I see. The next few days will be interesting to see how well the models play ‘catch up with the cad’

I agree I agree

Something is brewing next week. Will it be ice, snow or a frigid rain? Stay tuned for tomorrow’s edition of how the models run

Congrats Ga and NC! Can’t get the cold air over the mts for the upstate, so lock it in
