SnowDeac Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I had graupel hitting my windshield on the way to work this morning around 9 near the airport. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Absolutely perfect spring day! Pouring rain, and 43.7 I'd take this the next 6 months without question. Got an inch in the bucket, more on tap, and the cold wind blowing from the favoured spot. Of particular note is the Experiment Station is reporting 76, and they are only a mile or so away Larry's March and April fun continues to entertain. Way to go Crossroads!

I'm in Charleston, SC, on the Cooper River enjoying every little bit of this absolutely delightfully extremely nasty wedge generated wx. The wind is howling, there are whitecaps, it is overcast and raining, and it feels like midwinter! It is actually near the average noon temp. for mid-Jan! Ahhhhhhhh!! Hopefully, I'll get in a nice cold walk later today. By the way, I've been told that April 4th has been designated as Wedge Appreciation Day for GA/NC/SC by all three governors. It is so nice to see the wedge get the recognition it deserves for a change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 My mother reported snow/sleet in Lenoir this morning around 8 AM. Cloudy and cool outside Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well, Jonathan, one suspects you would have been better off visiting your mom, than those notorious girly bars outside of Orlando This system is producing more than expected by my watching the models. I'm getting lucky at finding the sweet spots, unlike all the preceding years in this century. And I guessing the Masters will have some weather surprises for the players and fans too, next week. Bring a coat and some galoshes, sports fans. Larry obviously had the right idea and headed into the teeth of the wedge. Ice cream on the beach in a cold cad wind driven rain..ecstasy.

calculus1 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well, Jonathan, one suspects you would have been better off visiting your mom, ... I do miss the opportunity to have seen some late season wintry precip, but it's not been too bad down here. Florida's fine...for a week or so...in spring. Otherwise, it's way too hot, humid, flat, sandy, and crowded. Time to head back tomorrow. Currently, it's raining pretty decently with gentle rolls of thunder in the distance. Radar looks quite wet for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Stinging sleet finally going over to snow mixture here. Grassy areas getting a little white...cars are covered in slush/sleet. Roads fine except for parking lots...kind of slid a little. My English class was watching An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore...don't think anyone in the class but myself got the message with it snowing in April.

GaWx Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 This wedge is bringing lots of joy to the SE US (Merry April?) and is making for one of the most interesting days of the winter/spring so far. The desirable nastiness continues here in Charleston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 It is a cold 37 degrees here at 3:25 pm in April!!!!! Reports of snow from the county are coming in but just rain here at the house. It is actually colder here now than this morning! Dynamical cooling in April?! What a storm this would of been if it were January. We finally got a good track but wrong time of the year.

WilkesboroDude Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Winter Weather Advisory issued for Wilkes/Surry/Stokes 2-4 inches. Won't happen but nice run. 1.1 inches reported in Surry. Looks like up to 2 inches would have been better wording IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I think today would qualify as a mild bust temp wise. Watching trends this week, earlier , and over the weekend they had it colder (42-44) range. By Tues all media had 48-50 range. Currently 39.4 ! Didn't see this coming! Didn't see any snow or sleet, but today was winning in my book. See y'all 30s again next October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When 99% of people look for weather info for highs , they don't say 55 degrees today? I bet that will happen at midnight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
