The Alchemist

I’ve been watching Ryan Hall on YT… I can’t believe how fast the tornado warnings are being issued…. Between 1130pm and 1145pm it felt like they were coming in every 30 seconds…. Tomorrow night is going to be rough….

Hey, could anybody recommend a good gardening forum for the southeast?  Or has there ever been a sub thread here in the southeast part of the forum discussing vegetable gardening as related to current weather?  Haven't had a garden since 2014 and this is the year I think he family could benefit from one.

Got cold out there 21.8˚ already,  One of the rare times flow snow "flurries" make it all the way down to Saluda...

I’ll say this. Someone correct me if I’m wrong and granted it was a miller b, but I vividly remember in 2022, that storm had paltry QPf 48 hrs before the storm only to see the 3k and HRRR come into range and slowly tick up. Eventually it got all the way to .7 imby.

Yup, up here in Saluda we only were forecast 1-3" , and ended up with 10"

Getting reports of snow all the way down in Hendersonville. 

Wow, that euro run was depressing. I guess the cold push is really that stout…. Stay warm everyone, goodnight…

Alligators are gonna have more snow on their frozen asses in cajun country than bobcats in the hills of WNC. 
Atlanta somehow managed to get 4+ inches of snow while we barely squeezed out 2 in the same system. 
Like you said, this is mostly because of the dominant northern stream. Or maybe the skies still need to heal after Helene?

It’s weird but I think people are gunshy. I love where we sit

Me too, just printed a snow depth gauge...  I can add another piece to measure up to 21 inches...  but I don't want to jinx us...

I hope I’m not speaking out of turn as I don’t know the personal ins and outs of most of the posters on this board. I’m more of a lurker than anything else. But I wonder what the chances are of getting Burgertime to do a play-by-play of the European Friday night or Saturday night… It’d be fun for old times sake and really bring some good mojo to the board.

Are you sure? From this FB link, here are some quotes from him:
“To cover the entire E US in snow and ice”; “Coldest January in over 300 years”; “Last well into Feb giving us 2 weeks of freezing temperatures, something we’ve never seen before“; “This will be the biggest PV to ever hit the US”
 I’m not making this up. Listen for yourselves.

15*3 this morning down here in Saluda NC. Hasn’t done that for a morning low in several years….

Yea, first time I ever went cross country skiing was on the Parkway starting at the Hwy 276 intersection in May 1992.  Winter is far from over.

My weather attention the balance of the week is how closely forecast temps track.  

I'll be especially interested to see if the weekend's temps verify.  

This Saturday's show is going to be cold!!!

Red 3 checking in....

Honestly not the worst idea. We do have a pretty deep crew at this point lol. I know I’m missing a few, but what say ye @wncsnow@calculus1@strongwxnc@westmc9th

Would Saluda fit into that??   Though I like living vicariously through some of the folks up north of Asheville....

I was over at a friends house picking up some rough sawn hardwood and he had this over in a corner.... is this where Buger got his handle from??  It was one of those "Where have I seen that before" moments...

Couldn't make it in to work (ICC) I-26 is flooding at the bottom of the mountain near the Columbus NC exit. Took Hwy 176 back home to Saluda and can't believe how much water is on the road and how fast the waterfalls are running.  This is like a tropical system getting caught in the southern Apps.  

Reports of a few sleet pellets mixing in down in Columbus NC…. At 47*. Seemed strange but mom has a gas fireplace with a metal flue and said she could hear it quite clearly…. She could see a few pellets bouncing on the deck…

New mountain thread has been created, Can a mod please pin it?  sorry so late, internet was down...

Let's hope I bring the Mojo to this... after all, back on March 11th 1993 I wanted snow for my birthday... and we all know how that worked out!!

I’m not well known around here, but I’ll do it tomorrow at noon if everyone’s ok with it…

Really rocking tonight down here in Polk county!!! Been a while since I heard thunder like this…

Edit… looks like Rutherford county is about to get slammed as the line moves north from SC

Drove back from Charlotte tonight. I 85 and 74… Shelby got hammered with that storm… I’ve not seen that much lightning from a storm in a long time…. A few times had to pull over as there was so much rain flooding the road you couldn’t see the lines to tell what lane you were in…

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the NAM was sniffing something out for Easter after the winter we just had…
