    Now THAT is the Oconee Snowhole if I have ever seen it. If it ever makes it’s way into a textbook someday, they need this as a graphic.

    I would have literally admitted myself to a psych ward if that happened to me! How does that even happen! I was living in Philly during that storm but mom was living Mooresville on the Iredell/Rowan County line. She racked up 14" from that storm. 

    The saddest part may be that this happens over and over to the western upstate with certain setups. -The Carolina Crusher everyone gushes over was the exact same thing; complete skip job. Greenwood up to CLT big snow, NW upstate flurries. -Feb 2014 huge snow for everyone...couple inches of slop here; and I remember one spot with no accumulation at all. Other storms like Dec 2010 very little. Dec 2018 saw huge snows in NGA, NC, and Eastern upstate up to 1ft. NW upstate... couple of inches. It can be tough. And I'm actually in a much better spot than Burrel for whatever reason.

     

    We've had some wins too; Jan 87, 88, Jan 96, Jan 2011, March 93, and this past week. But we have a ton of misses and it hard to get a big dog.

    A word of caution on the pretty Euro maps; these lose accuracy close to the event and this will not be a 10-1 ratio for those outside the mountains. Hopefully we'll get a good front end thump though; I just hate we won't be able to ward of the warm nose. I'm interested to see how the HRRR does.

    Been disappointed with my temps the last couple mornings; 37.1 and 38.8; no frost. Most areas around me, even South have been significantly colder;  I think that northern upstate thermal band effect that happens sometimes has been at play... or something has.

    I highly doubt that map. I don't think I have ever seen 50's in early Sept. in my area. Mid to late Sept. yes but not early.

    It's probably overdone and may not happen at all, but man it's nice to see a cool off show up repeatedly. Once we get to Sept summer's days are numbered, no matter what 2018 and 2019 have to say about it!

    For weeks now, I’ve been used to storms coming from the southwest and dropping the most intense rain to my west and east.  I’ve been in a dry corridor.  I assumed that since this week’s front is approaching from the northwest there’s no way I could miss out on a good soaking rain.  But the models are hinting otherwise.  Most of the intense rain will form to my east after the front passes.  I’ll end up with a 0.20” light shower of Friday while the Triangle will end up with 2.20”.  You might think I’m joking, but just wait and see.  :D

    The updated 30-day and 60-day precipitation map shows how dry the western areas of NC and SC have been compared to the east.

    Meh; 3 plus years of constant monsoon - this a blip I'm happy for. Still just over 3 inches for the month, and over 30 for the year, which is still above avg for mby.

    Nearly 5 inches of rain brought my yearly total to 26.88 through May.  Still fairly wet but much MUCH better than last year when nearly 13 inches fell in May and I had 52.45 inches by the end of the month! I was also able to avoid the dreaded 90 here IMBY, got up to 88.7; low of 40.1. Very nice spring all things considered.

    You guys must have had a lot less rain than me. I've only had about half the amount of rain through May that I had last year  but it's still above average. After nearly 3 and a half years of nothing but rain on top of rain I have been happy for the drier past two months, though I still had nearly 5 inches last month.
