Well above normal is well above normal. You can sugarcoat it all you want but “normal” takes everything into account and above is above. Just because it happens when your sleeping doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
I’d say a week is a good estimate. I got married September 29, 2001, so I typically note the foliage around this time. I don’t recall a drastic difference.
As usual, further along around home than it is here in BTV. About to take off for a week in San Diego for a work conference. Should get some nice views as we fly out of BTV
Record snow year incoming! Good luck. NC has some great areas. I love the mountains and the OBX, in between, meh. My paternal grandmother was from Cherokee and my Grandfather was from Durham.
At the Pit? Surely you jest. At the Pit and that magical glen in West Chesterfield the temperature never warms enough to cause you to break a sweat unless you are engaged in heavy labor.
Was 37° when I left for work, an hour late (stupid alarm clock grrrr) but there was ice on the car roof. Pretty chilly out there now, 49° and overcast.
