  1. 29.4, should probably be as low as it's going right now. Stations around the area are 29 to 31. One just went from 29 to 30.
  2. 31 currently here at my house, 32 and 33 on two nearby stations. Very frosty. I'm hoping to stay out of the 20s, have about 2 hours to go before the temp should start rising. So I've at least avoided one of those 5 hours in the 20s kind of hard freezes that kill everything. Hopefully this doesn't blister the acorn sized apples on my trees.
  3. 39 degrees with some mixed rain and snow moving through. Was clear earlier. Clouds or lack of will determine if we get below freezing tonight.
  4. My point forecast now says snow showers, then upper 20s Friday night into Saturday morning.
  5. The temp has dropped all afternoon. Currently 43 degrees. I'll be surprised if I can avoid a weekend freeze. I'll probably frost tonight barring cloudy or windy weather. But the ridges on all sides of me block winds pretty effectively.
  6. 49 degrees and rainy this morning. We can't get winter in winter, it just sticks around later in spring lately.
  7. Normally I'd plant tomatoes and corn this weekend. But another week or so looks like it will be the timeframe. MRX has the low here at 35 two days in a row and they tend to be too high imby due to the cold bowl microclimates here.
  8. Those 30 degree departures here would put me in the lower 20s. My average low for early May is around 51.
  9. Some really windy and cold rain showers this evening. Not sure I didn't see some graupel around sunset.
  10. It's crazy. I'm at 40.57 through 4 months this year. That after two years in a row of 70+ inches of rain.
  11. Temp is currently holding at 53 degrees here, which would be as low a high as I can find here in the last 80 years for April 30th.
  12. It was incredibly windy today before the rain moved in, it was rattling my roof at times. Snow has happened here around May 9th/10th. My grandfather always told the story of snow flattening knee high corn one May to the tune of 9 inches. This would have been at some point in the 1910s.
  13. 44 degrees and rain, feels like winter. Thought I posted yesterday but it seems gone now. 1.05 inches from Saturday, over 10 inches in April now.
  14. Saw a photo of trees and overturned tractor trailers of where the tornado supposedly crossed I-40 earlier. Could have been straight line winds too. Nothing not extremely heavy rain here and a few thunder claps.
  15. 1.58 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, now over 9 inches for the month with 1.5-2 more inches being modeled through April 30th. I can't imagine there's ever been a more rainy 28 months than the prior 28 months in my area. Basically since the drought broke after the severe fires of 2016 the spigot hasn't really closed off except for a few weeks last September.
  16. That tornado video was way closer than I ever want to be to one. I imagine the power for the traffic lights was probably underground or possibly even on a solar back up. I wonder what the f rating was on that tornado? I was in the slight risk area but that seems to have been downgraded to marginal at this point. So once again the non-stop heavy rains are the bigger issue here. Going to approach 10 inches again this month it looks like, possibly exceed it. I've not actually looked at the rain gauge yet from today's rain but I was at 7.43 inches coming into this event and it rained heavily overnight into this morning.
  17. I never bother with tomatoes before the first week of May. Not uncommon to get to 31-32 during that time frame here.
  18. Cold, blustery and a few flakes out there this evening. At first I thought it was dogwood blossoms blowing past me.
  19. Ended up with 5.02 inches of rain. Tons of mudslides including a large one on the ridge behind my house. County road crews had to do major work on two bridges by my house today.
  20. One of my brother's insurance clients lost their home. He's okay, just no power. Tornado was a few miles S and East of him.
  21. Only experienced a few rumbles of thunder out of this system but it's been a heck of a rain event with quite a bit of sustained winds and gusts. 4.79 inches of rain and possibly some more still out West with the upper spin moving this way.
  22. I get off at exit 4 or sometimes 5 (Shallowford/75) whenever I go to my brothers house. Seems to be a lot of businesses in that area vs a lot of housing. But I'm sure there were lots of homes hit as well.
