UnionCountyNCWX Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 16 minutes ago, CentralNC said: Don't think I have ever stated this, but BRING ON SPRING. I've had all the disappointment I can handle for one year. And everyone (except for a couple of posters) said amen lol. I like how the storm threads have reached the point of assuming what the radar shows is what's actively hitting the ground lol. It's almost unbearable to to read through, but it's very entertaining.

UnionCountyNCWX Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Also not to post some junk in the storm thread, being in charlotte this winter has absolutely sucked. Seems like everyone around us has scored better than charlotte proper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alchemist Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx367 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Last few days in Australia. Getting sent to Anchorage Alaska next. Lol. Well I guess that historic snowstorm in GA last month was just the warm-up for Alaska. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Last few days in Australia. Getting sent to Anchorage Alaska next. Lol. Well I guess that historic snowstorm in GA last month was just the warm-up for Alaska.I love Anchorage. Spent a summer there about 20 years ago. Have been back on several summer trips since then. Never experienced a winter, though. Are you in the military? Going to be stationed at JBER?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaleighNC Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago John Burns Hello everyone. I am writing with sad news. My father, John Burns, who you know as your moderator jburns, passed away on Monday at the age of 77 after a battle with cancer that returned after he beat lymphoma in 2020. AmericanWX was really important to him, and I know he considered many of you to be friends. He became highly involved on this site after he suffered a heart attack about 15 years ago, and this became a key outlet for him and his love and impressive amateur knowledge of meteorology. Whenever there was going to be a storm in North Carolina, I had two sources to check: WRAL and my Dad. I remember him texting me before an ice storm was expected to hit Raleigh. No "hello," no "how are you." Just: "get a damn generator." He was absolutely never happier than when a snowstorm actually hit. He was known to drive hundreds of miles just to get into a blizzard. Thank you to all of you who made his later years fun and engaging. He loved it here. He loved arguing, he loved the weather, and he LOVED the ban hammer. John D.

Burns Son of jburns Raleigh, NC Hey John, Though this is very sad to hear, we thank you for taking the time to let us know. May your father rest in peace. Hopefully he’s now in a better place and that that hope gives you comfort during this difficult time. He was an extremely proud father for what you stood for as a NC Rep. His mainly clean, witty jokes made many of us laugh. He’ll be long remembered by many here for those and his love of following the weather among other things. He was til only very recently still moderating, a position he took seriously til the very end. For example, we could always depend on him as needed to pin a new thread and unpin an old one in a timely fashion. Sadly, he’s not here to pin this thread. @buckeyefan1 @stormtracker @Mr Bob @ORH_wxman@Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
