It’s also going to storm this weekend, you know what happens 7-10 days after that in winter!?

Sure do. It will have thundered 7-10 days ago.

Brad Panovich just posted on Facebook that today marks the average first date of measurable snowfall for Charlotte.

There's something to hang your hat on!  

Until you realize that tomorrow is the average last date of measurable snowfall.

Edit 2:  Reading their AFD is just unreal.  Check this out:  "For the Fairbanks areas, near power plants, some industrial flurries may occur as the atmosphere wrings out the moisture in the power plant plumes."  Industrial flurries!  I don't think you should make snow cream with that snow.

Mommy, why is Frosty glowing?

Happy New Year sir!

Thanks bud. It is shaping up to be a different kind of year.

Not much banter last year so let just keep this thread active for 20.

My apologies.  I deleted two of these map posts thinking they were identical.  Guess I need to see an eye doctor.

EDIT: I managed to recover them. No harm no foul.

Another bad sign. Last week in December and the Buffalo Bills are playing a home game in the rain.

70.5º Nothing much to add to that.

the south is one thing, but when the WNC Mtns. can't get any snow is another. 

Today it reached 67º in Elkins, West Virginia. ELKINS.   Not a good sign.

Another year begins.

66º and sunny!! Happy Easter!!

Forecasted high today was 51.  Currently sitting at 58. Winter warmth temps almost always over perform.

At 8 pm tonight my temp was 30º.  High clouds have rolled in and now two hours later I am at 36º.  I think I've seen this play before.

I’m upgrading from a portable gas generator to a propane whole-house generator, but it’s not scheduled to be installed until the week between Christmas and New Year.  Y’all can thank me for this early potential activity in December.  Once the generator is installed, January and February will be quite. 

Quite quiet?

Not going to lie, this far out it looks like the players are on the board. That is an optimal SE winter storm low track and there is cold air available. For Mid-November, that is as much as you can ask for at this point. This is definitely something worth tracking atm. Keep in mind, this is more than a week out. I wish this setup was a month from now!

Yep. That month can make the difference between a 35º rain and a 33º rain.

Hoping for a quick and complete recovery.

Once a week should do the trick, right?  

Only during our usual two weeks of winter.  For the fifty weeks of summer you have to up your shower game.

I’ve had these stupid house flies pop up in the backyard this week.  Not a huge swarm, but enough to be a nuisance.  Not sure if it’s due to this warmer, wet weather or not.  I keep the trash can sealed up and the dog poop picked up, but I can’t go out on the patio without eight or ten flies buzzing around.

Fly Prevention

Trash sealed....check

Dog poop picked up.......check

Took a shower this morning.........oops

A nice slow .80" of rain this morning. Not a puddle to be found.

64/49 here. Quite a  change.

You know you are in drought when you get a cold front passage that will drop the temperatures about 25º and it comes in without a single drop of rain or even a single dark cloud.  

And there it is!!!!  My weather station just dropped to 89.8 degrees!!  Hopefully the last of the 90s until next spring. You know, February.

97.5º was my high for today and for the year.  Pretty amazing stuff.

Morning in the low 70s in Oct.....Ugh!  Highs in the mid 90s....ugh!  Still bone dry....Ugh!  Friday better be the beginning of the end of this crappy summer because my 100lbs of grass seed depends on it.  I either get the rain now or I'll be watching that new PBS special called "Growing amazing weed lawns with JBurns".

Wrong title. I need to bring in more young folks.

Weed. It's not just for smoking.

Stats September 2019.
