superjames1992 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The last bit of my snowfall in my shady (as in no sun) front yard melted away today from the 1/17 event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Lol who is we? That weak sleet and snow event wasn't winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I've been wondering why I've been feeling such weather ire so early in the season. Here I am in shorts and covered in Off again... so I don't have to slap at 'em all day like yesterday...but I'm used to warm spells in winter, so something else had to be going on. I've seen some sleet and snow this winter, though just a spattering...it was much better than last year, and I'm used to that. Getting sleet is much harder than getting snow, and though snow is no substitute for sleet, unless it finds a way to be here tomorrow night too, which it rarely does, still...I'm used to that too, lord knows. No, it was something else...something to do with cold. But, it's been cold, I saw a 17 last year, and I've seen some mid 20's this year. No, something cold is missing. Then it dawned on me. I haven't been tempted to put plastic over the windows in years. It doesn't get "cold" anymore, ever. So I looked it up. It has been 3 years, 3 weeks, or so, since I've had a high below freezing, Jan 8th, 2010. No wonder I'm getting mean as a snake, and ornery. I'm amazed I haven't exploded. I've been suffering through 3 years of summer!! Man can't live like that....live without true cold. It just ain't natural. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Today's severe weather busted. Next! One tornado lolxz Tomorrow should be the real deal with widespread wind damage likely. It hasn't even gotten started .. It wasn't supposed to really get going until this evening/night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 It hasn't even gotten started .. It wasn't supposed to really get going until this evening/night. Well that's not good. Hopefully people are fully aware. We haven't had a tornado death in 216+ days and need to go at least a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah, I can see where bitter cold kills the elderly, and the poor in general, but snow itself? I would think it would be the winds in a snow storm, or the frontal passage after, that would do the most actual damage, beyond the random roof collapse, so the thunder storm vs snow storm/blizzard would equal out. Just guessing. Be interesting to see the stats. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well, there have been some tornado warnings in GA. But I think the cloud cover today could limit the instability and keep the storms around here to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well, there have been some tornado warnings in GA. But I think the cloud cover today could limit the instability and keep the storms around here to a minimum. Tornado Warnings in south-west NC. My driveway is clear of snow/sleet now. Only remains are probably in parking lots at stores etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneR4 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Looks like DixieBlizzard is in the Adairsville, GA area (per the Google SE_Members_Map). Hope they made it through the Tornado ok. Plus others are in the danger zone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Why isn't the severe weather thread pinned? No reason to obsess over this. It will stay at the top of the page during the event all by itself, simply by the number of posts. When the event ends it will slide down the page as it should.

Isopycnic Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 When I saw this on FB attributed to Kansas I agreed. So not true in NC for the typical day. The mountains temper any chance of any large temperature swings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
