Doesn’t it often snow in the NC mountains in May? Every year, people act like it’s shocking 

I would say it is unusual unless you are elevations like Clingmans Dome or Mt Leconte. But early in May it is possible at some of the lower (5500') elevations like today.

2k lbs of fertilizer a year is finally starting to pay off. Luckily the cold didn’t hurt the water plants.

It looks awesome there Fraz. Lawn looks great and the fish pond and hot tub area looks awesome

If April showers bring May flowers, those pilgrims are S.O.L.  The latest drought map is showing abnormally dry conditions starting in South Carolina and spreading out.

I guess we’ve had pestilence and famine lately.  Might as well as drought to the list.

I’m not ready for the 80’s 

Im so with you, it was actually HOT out there today, ugh. Tomorrow and Thurs will be even hotter, ugh again

Reached a low of 33* here this morning.  Time to turn the heat on next week as in outside temps, ugh

64 for a high today and the low was 32* this morning.  Really the perfect day today.  Next week it looks to warm up to the mid 8-0s for the triangle area, ugh

Easy to play Where is the Cold Front located. What a large temp swing from west to east across NC. 

Reached a high of 80* here today, currently 64*

.67" Rainfall MTD

Man I love Hilton Head. A beautiful small town.

Especially this time of the year, not crowded at all. Post spring break and pre summer crush. We like it there a lot

Its been beautiful here in Hilton Head since Friday. Not too hot and humid yet. We head home to RDU tomorrow.
