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.

I'm pretty sure this storm in 2004 was our last SNOWMAGEDDON!! Anyone else remember this one?

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.

Coating of ice on everything here.  Still 31/31.  Sounds like a little sleet mixes in with big bursts of precip. 

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

Sounds like line is at 485 for sleet/snow. Hope it pushes south

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

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.

So, what time did everyone get up this morning? Or any all-nighters still up? 

I got up at 3:47 am. Still running strong this evening. Wife thinks I'm crazy but she does not understand this sport. 

 

 

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.

I don't know how I'm suppose to actually work today. I've been invested in this storm for a week now and it's almost here! Guess I'll be gathering my obs from looking out of the window today.

servers are starting to struggle must be from the party theyre having up in the north east forum 

I thought it was just me and my connection. I guess in about an hour or so, we can expect another board crash.

Hi beautiful lady!! Glad to see your smiling face

Here's me and my amazing partner in green

 

Heeeeeyyyy! Did you know you may have a problem with raccoons? Just kidding! I love Snapchats wacky filters. Y'all look great!

Last post was from last Christmas!! Summer is coming to a close. Definitely ready for fall and winter. I'm still lurking, but if Irma decides to come hang out with me, I'll be posting obs as much as I can. Anywho, most recent pic and I'm hanging onto my summer glow! See you guys more in the winter!

Thanks Calculus he is only 6 lbs 6oz and very tiny.

Both of my girls were a little under 6lbs when they were born. I really didnt think too much about it. When my neighbor had her baby a couple weeks ago, he was around the same size as your son. I was so scared to hold him because he was so tiny. It's so easy to forget how small they were at one time. Congrats and enjoy every moment because time will get away from you real fast.

I like the cut, color. Looks good on you!

Thanks so much! I have really enjoyed this cut, it's been so easy to maintain. As for the color...red is my absolute favorite!!

I you in red!

Great picture!

Here I am with the manchild on nye
