Colder this morning than for our freeze warning last week. 37.4 here for the low. Very light frosts on roofs 

Same here.  32.9º this morning vs 34.7º under the freeze warning.

Low of 31º, high of 67ª.  I like it.

We have a forecast high of 80 today and low of 32 tomorrow night here. These swings are nuts.

All it takes is low humidity.

Of course it’s the infamous Happy Hour run, when the GFS has an excuse to get drunk and be happy!

 Enjoy tonight’s 0Z runs. They’ll be an hour later starting tomorrow for almost the next 8 months. 

Looks like that 20% ram cutback did have an effect.

On a related note, I'm determined to actually watch my iPhone or desktop clock jump from 1:59 to 3:00 tonight.  I'll let you know how it goes.

I’ll be making love with my wife at the clock change.  At my age it is the only time all year I can still go for over an hour.

BTW, we did the same thing when the millennium changed.  Try and beat that.

I can explain the triangle part, that's the only geometrically sound way to serve a round pizza.  Just think about how a round object is sliced into equal pieces.

As far the square box is concerned, well, it's cardboard and this is how cardboard is typically made.

Women are harder to understand than any of the above though.

I'll bet my house that North and West is a dad.

Q: How can you tell when a joke is a Dad joke?

A: When it’s rjayapparent.

 

@Rjay

 OK since Rjay brought me here and I often get brutalized by Randy for my dad jokes I will instead leave you with some deep philosophy. If you’re from Brooklyn you can just skip this.

When you can explain why a round pizza is packed into a square box and served as a triangle you will finally understand women.

@Rjay   Damn it Rjay.  You know I hate coming it the NYC forum.  It takes me 20 minutes just to get dressed.

Nifty new graphic from IEM showing trends in drought status across the state

Is there a math problem in the header of that image or am I missing something.

29.1 - 71.6

Same for me , And it’s my BDay

Happy birthday weather weenie.

Not a spec of snow to be seen on the ground here.  Kind of bizarre. Had about a half inch total yesterday and this morning but even with temps in the upper 20s and full cloud cover it started to disappear even while it was still snowing a bit.  An hour later it was all, and I mean all, gone. Even in the spots shaded by bushes and buildings.

I think there's a lot of rounding up around here haha

Not me.  Another pitiful 0.25”.   Tied for the heaviest snow in the last four years.

The only storm in my life that I remember Charlotte proper capitalizing on was that late Feb 2004 storm. They had like 12+. It's not in a great location climo wise. No elevation like the foothills, too far west for coastals like this one, and normally always mixes to sleet and zr during Miller A's b/c it's too far south.

My house is right under the 20.

Actually if oxygen in the room is always sucked out then others will not participate. It's not my sole job to ask others offline to join in to discuss weather discussion of us all across in the Carolinas (NC & SC). It's supposed to be welcoming to so not defensive about engaging others in other areas of the SE forum to feel included in weather forecasting discussions.

FYI, I'm originally from Birmingham and lived in Atlanta before hands and I still try include and engage with others in AL & GA in the forum with major weather events. 

 

But it is my job to see that things stay on topic. I waited for you to stop on your own but it seems you might need some help.  Hopefully all you need is a request to stay on topic.  Consider this that request.

See that's how I know this is the South, otherwise you'd be taking them out to do donuts in an empty parking lot...and then getting Chick-fil-A afterward

Yep.  That’s how my dad taught me to drive in NJ.  He was a state trooper.  He took me into a huge parking lot and had me accelerate to about 30 MPH.  Then he reached over and yanked on the steering wheel and said straighten it out boy.  Did it for several hours.  It was amazing how much better I was at controlling skids at the end of those few hours than I was at the beginning,

Let me try and help here. You do not need to pay for a parachute to sky dive unless you want to do it more than once.

Not only that but the 310 day GFS says 2025 will have a white Christmas across all of North Carolina.  I’m going to buy a sled right now!!!

I’ve told you before, I can’t ban people just because you are allergic to them.
