I am one of those old people of which you speak. You asked for it. It gets earlier every year. Top Six Southern Winter Folklore Sayings 1. If you count the morning fogs in August you will know how many August mornings were foggy. 2. A heavy crop of acorns will lead to fatter than average squirrels next spring. 3. If it thunders in winter, 10 days later it will have happened 10 days ago. 4. If you study the bands of the wooly worm you will know how many are brown and how many are black. 5. Snow that lays on the ground for more than three days is dirty. 6. A ring around the moon means your Lasik surgeon screwed up.

Even down here in the lowly Piedmont I am already above my average yearly total rainfall.. My lawnmower had a rough time mowing this evening. The grass(weeds) are thicker than I’ve ever seen here. We have toads everywhere. I also have not seen a single tick on me or my three dogs. Maybe the toads are eating them. Lol

Actually downtown Greensboro was on the edge of the storm and didn’t get much rain at all.

I waited all day for things to quiet down before giving you this important information. You will never get accurate rain amounts with your gauge mounted that way.

Now this is a hot day. 95º, 80º dew point, 111.3 feels like temp. My grass can wait.

You guys are so old fashioned. This is the 21st century. Hike? Uh-uh. Not me.

Yep. A map like that could make the difference between 35º and rain and 33º and rain.

I did 2 years in Germany. I was a bit further north near Frankfurt. Except a lot of gray foggy days but very little in the way of snow. Cool summers though.

Where in Germany are you stationed?

An engine block heater might be he solution.

Hell no!! Just kidding.

I used my new calculator and after in depth calculations I came up with a mean temp of 48º. Not bad for June.

No rain here as of yet but I’ve been sitting on 59º since I got up this’d morning.

I ended the month with 12.98” of rain. I thought about going outside last evening and spitting in the rain gauge just to get it to 13” but I have way, way to much integrity to ever do such a thing.

I got 2.75” in a bit over an hour. Surprised there was no flash flood advisories issued.

On and on it goes. Have added 2.25” since midnight giving an event total of 7.66”. Have I mentioned that it is still raining?

I am currently at 4.99” for the event. Since it is still raining I could have waited a minute or two and reported 5”.

. forestall?

Ah yes, the oft talked about but seldom seen SE winter weather. Old men talk of it at their early morning McDonalds coffee meetings but most younger folks think it is nothing but a myth.

I can’t believe you ate rsndom people you found on a river. Don’t you realize they have to be inspected to be sure they are safe to eat.

You spent a good deal of time on that post. Paragraphs would greatly help readability and therefore increase the number of readers.

I didn’t close it but, it quickly morphed into bat-shit-crazy.

89.1º was the high. So close. Mowed the yard wearing shorts felt great. March isn’t what it used to be.

Florida has barely started testing. Australia is just getting started. Time will tell.

Hope is not research. Keep an eye on Florida if they ever get their testing ramped up.
