Just noticed my weeds are up in the back yard here in the triad.  Beat me to the pre-emergent again this year.  

Not sure what it was , but there was a tree with blooms on it in Cary today.

We need some soil soaking rains here in Northeast North Carolina badly. It's been very dry. Just really hope the wind doesn't get too ratcheted up. Tides will be interesting in the usual spots but particularly up in Norfolk and some of the lower areas. 

We need it. I put 350 lbs of seed out last week.

Power outages will likely be severe today.  Generally speaking, there are so many dead trees around my area in the triad, mostly diseased pines and lightning strikes, that I expect quite a few of those will find their way to a power line.  Ian is certainly cementing his legacy.

Everything is above ground in Chatham County, expecting a lot of outages here as well.

Since it’s that time of the year, I thought I’d find out what traditions you have for winter storms.  I’ll kick it off:

- Leaves on my yard absorb heat and help snow melt faster.  So, a day or two before accumulating snow/sleet, I mow my yard with my rear bagger mower to get all the stray leaves off the yard.  It also whacks back any long sprouting weeds that take longer to cover up.  
- Big breakfast (usually bacon and pancakes/waffles), but only after precip is falling and beginning to accumulate.  
 

What about you guys?

Lol, I thought I was the only one.

March 2009 comes to mind for me. ULL was all over the place and then at the last second folks along I-85 cashed in. 

Didn't the Boxing day storm go away late in the run up?

Was working all day and stopped otw home for more bread and milk. What did I miss ?

I love my Davis Vantage Vue.  Had one for probably 12 years now.  Does great on temperature and rain measurements.  Easy to setup and transmits to an in-house receiver with all kinds of cool graphs, measurements, etc.

You can also use their software program to keep records and do whatever else you might wish to do with it.

Ditto here

Greg is a good guy. He took off to Florida for a while but now is back in the region and very well may be a reader of these boards. I hope the above comment is deleted.  

He is, probably does and is not sold on this storm just yet

Yep, always when we're on the outside looking in....but hey you got sun and waves. All I got is cold barren trees to look at. 

Still hoping to get that way sometime. Might get a chance soon. I hung up the spurs in Nov.
