Please hid my thread Michelle. I'll gladly take a little less than an inch out of the front. Here's to a typical Season with no damaging Tropical Mischief!

Does anyone remember this storm?  The Spring Snowstorm of April 2-5, 1987.  I was not living here but ran across this today.  WOW-

[ncjoaquin]

.09 inches so far. That's the extent of my rain. It has been hard to get good rain.

Since I posted that, I have had enough rain to get to .15, but still not a lot. Better than zero though.

3.04 since night before last.

Rainforest almost matched my yearly amount in one event.

I ended up with an inch of rain and I am very thankful! The pollen has been washed down and cooler air is filtering in. I could make a run at freezing in the morning. We'll see about that.

I didn’t because I was a weee lad but I read about it today.  That would have been amazing. 

[Met1985]

Yeah I ended up right at .92 inches of rainfall myself.  Wind has been cranking and temp is all the way down to 51 degrees.

I was living in Boone at the time. It was epic. It didn't matter that it was April.  Here is write up from Gary Stepenson, who worked at WLOS.

I remember Gary. He was a great meteorologist.  A lot of people forget that Mike Bettes came from WLOS also.

Yeah im not sure but we've seen a lot of local mets go from here to Atlanta.  I'm sure the money is great.
