I hope to have a better year with my garden than last year. Had to replant twice due to too much rain. Had the most beautiful garden, but did not produce anything other than some green beans.

Was there a strong/severe storm threat for today? I don't recall seeing anything about it. Had a nice thunderstorm just now.

Yes! I was in east Charlotte at the time. We had 16". You're right, this was the last "big one" for Charlotte and I'm always chasing that 2004 redux dream every winter since.

This was mixed in the replies. CAPS is the primary school he was at. Sounds encouraging.

Switched to sleet/snow mix

33.5 with snow. Started as rain and transitioned to snow around 6:30am.

I'm waiting for this to happen here. I'm in Hemby Bridge. Lights have flickered a couple of times.

I'm actually a little concerned about the ice. Was surprised to see how much was on the trees. Plus the winds.

I live off of Idlewild 2 miles from 485 and I've got heavy sleet and sloppy wet flakes. Notice more sirens from emergency vehicles. It must be nasty out there

Back to sleet/rain mix. More sleet than rain. 37/35 Hemby Bridge NC

43/31 Sleet Hemby Bridge NC

Like expected, the creek behind my house has risen past it's bank. My business which is 1/4 mile from my house and next to the same creek has water inside of it. I measured 4" yesterday evening. Not sure how much we've had since then.

Obs from well inland where wind won't be an issue, but rain. The Monroe airport is reporting 77°, cloudy skies, winds 17mph from the North with gusts of 25mph. The NWS mentioned in this mornings discussion that this area could see up to 12" of rain.

Some of the schools in the CMS area are being used as shelters for those evacuating the coast. Other school systems are closing around the area, but i dont know if its for the same reason or just overkill.

I went to bed at 1:30 this morning and got up at 5:50. I was bummed when I saw the temp at 41 and rain. Finally switched over around 8:00. My husband thinks I'm crazy as well, but has learned it is what it is. It's actually kinda funny.
