  1. Year 2024 final stats from my backyard Davis Vantage Vue:

    • Hi Temp: 100.4 F
    • Hi DP: 82 F
    • Hi Pressure: 1043.8 mb
    • Lo Temp: 11.8 F
    • Lo DP: 3 F
    • Lo Pressure: 991.0 mb
    • Total Rainfall: 69.71 inches

    This year's rainfall total increased my 10-year mean annual rainfall by ~2.5 inches to 63.17 inches and increased my 10-year median annual rainfall by ~3.5 inches to 60.48 inches.

    We used to get a lot of snow to sleet to ZR storms. 

    And, they made for excellent sledding conditions. I remember several of those types of storms growing up in the 80s and 90s in Lenoir. 4-6 inches of snow, followed by a half inch of sleet, and then a glaze of ice makes for fantastic sledding, as I recall.

  3. Almost 1/3 odds now for Hickory to net more than 6 inches. We are going to riot soon [mention=4420]calculus1[/mention]

    I know! I am afraid to mention anything to anyone about our chances. Don’t wanna jinx it. I’m thankful the weather has been seasonal, at least, this winter. And now, it’s looking like some true winter cold is on the way. Just got to time the precipitation right.

    On a related note, I feel the pain, @wncsnow , but I’m not quite to the doom-posting level that you have reached. I suppose I had the benefit of watching snow fall for an hour or so back in early December. That was such a nice treat, even though it only amounted to a minor dusting.

    The Catawba River is very warm for this time of the year.  I think that's keeping it a little warmer the closer to it you are to it.  Yesterday morning it was 10 degrees warmer at Riverbend Park (near Oxford Dam) than at my house in the St Stephens area of Hickory only 8 miles away.

    I think it’s even warmer than normal here in St Stephens than it normally is. I hadn’t thought about the Catawba River as the reason, but that seems spot on. I’m probably only half a mile, as the crow flies, from the river. Great hypothesis!
