Well, beat the 37 with a 34 , so climo wins again. Hardly ever fails that the weekend of the Master's is cold, or coldish at least one night.

My new station says I had a 37, so not bad for winters last gasp. The point forecast put the next shot at a 42 low, and I don't count it if it ain't in the 30's, lol. Bye winter..had two slight snows and a slighter sleet, so not too shabby compared to the last bunch of winters, but still pretty pitiful. I'd like to see Rory get his slam, though all three in tandem is what a real slam is, but it's hard enough to get all three in a lifetime

Had a tornado touch down a mile down the road Mon and just found out about it today. I sleep real good, lol. Sounds like it was an f0 or f1, but I haven't gone down to look. Certainly not like the one that went thru a few years ago. That was so loud no one around here could hear the siren a quarter mile away in daytime, and that would have woke me up for sure. It went by a mile south, and I lost trees. This one was a mile west, and apparently blocked roads with downed trees but not here. I didn't hear a thing. Still way to close. I'm ready for winter! Looks like a cool to coldish night for Masters weekend. Right on schedule, but not freezing here. Point forecast calling for 39. Still not bad for what's usually winters last gasp around here. Goofy says there is another chance at coldish, but it's usually over this weekend.

My point cast has always been in the upper 80's, 88 being the highest. Now it's 86, and the difference between 88, or 90, and 86, is vast when you are out in it, in full sun. Not near so apocalyptic this early in the year.

Yeah, this just ain't right!! Below normal cold is ok, but record heat...no, just no, lol. And if only one verifies, you know which one that will be....

I just enjoy the anomaly factor. Unusual is interesting, and unusual cold even more so. I can see flurries in the wind in Ga during the Masters. Wouldn't be the first time. I'm starting into a book on the Little Ice Age, the minimum...this won't be that, but it's a small taste, lol.

I should think plants might want to wear sweaters in case of incoming frost, lol.

Figures it'd be near 90 the weekend before a cold snap. That's a Ga. spring for you. I bought a kite recently, might be able to do a moon landing with the weather whiplash, lol. Near 90 and tstorms...that means wind.

I like the odds. Seen lots wearing sweaters on Master's weekend, so climo says maybe flurries, lol.

Yeah, it's a shame as it was so clear earlier. I've seen a blood moon on a super clear night and it doesn't get old. At least they aren't as rare as a total solar.

The haze detracted from the clarity of the blood moon right up until about 20 minutes before totality, then the clouds fully obscured. How do clouds know right when to thicken, and ruin the whole show?? Kind of like snatching defeat from a "heavy snow" warning, lol.

I've been getting ticks on me for weeks, and a few mosquitos on the warmest days, but no wasps etc.

It will be cold enough this week and it will be wet enough this week. All it ever takes is timing....and a long list of unlikely scenarios and happenstances, lol.

Circumstance changes too. Once I was no longer successful in chasing bikini babes, 75 was warm enough, and now I'm on blood thinner, 25 is low enough. I still enjoy winter extremes as long as I can get propane, and they don't last too long in the teens, or below, but 75 is my tops the rest of the year. The only summer extreme I enjoy is 75 in July/Aug. California would be ok, if the cold nights were cold days at least half the time. The way they have it now would make me irritable year round, lol. 25 to 75 and ip/sn once a month would be great, but I don't think that place exists on this planet. Once every few years an f 0 sleetnado or a cat 1 snowacane would be great.

18.8 here. exp sta had 18.5

I really want to fly my Mavick but both snows I got didn't cover like your's did. Way to go. I'm jealous of you getting shots like that.

Can you tell me where to get in line for the big winter storm in the first two weeks of March ?? I feel the calling.... It'll be 32 years since the blizzard. Three and two are 5. There are three bugs pictured above. 5 less three is two...and there have been two snows here this year! Boom!!! Drop the mike.

I'm pretty sure that 1 20 and I 85 are the first data points entered in every model run.

Went to bed with a tornado watch, woke up to a squall line and tornado warning. Went back to sleep and snoozed thru it all. Glad I didn't wake up wrapped around a tree. Hope that's it for tornado season After the Masters, I'll be ready for fall.

I thought winter cold was over and no more threats from way back in Jan, lol. I guess real winter didn't listen. I saw a blizzard in mid march and heavy snow in late March, so winter is never over until it says it is. Please don't tell me there is a Winter Storm Barney now, lol. Oh, the humanity!

Nope, all heavy rain, and zr from the outset. Never saw it waver off 32, but that was a sign board on the bank up the street, so take it with a grain of salt...but over time it was pretty accurate and I was there 10 years. Don't recall my steps being iced but the build up on the rail was near 3 inches, and the roads were impassible due to all the hot wires, trees and poles down block after block but not iced. I don't think Ptree St had a pole left standing as far as I could see. And the side streets were all downed trees as well. No one could go anywhere for days. Never ever want to see that again, or anything close. A terrifying night.

It works the way it wants too, not based on what humans think, lol. I've had an 8 inch spring storm, and another 4 inch one, so it just has to be cold enough in the column while rain is falling. Not much to it.... just a convergence of factors plus exquisite timing. I had a blizzard in mid March and it was really warm before and really warm after, but in between, bingo

I think it's the old "reloading" thing. Early Jan, actually from Xmas on thru most of Jan used to be cold, then reload.... indigenous people's summer....then mid Feb, to late, gave some great storms back in the way back. Then March was a crap shoot. Now, who knows.... but people saying no more chances before Jan is even over, maybe right, but maybe not. The actual weather generally has something to say about these things, lol....and I've never seen a script.

Well, Climo likes the last third of Feb for Ga snows, so it's in the bank....right?? A three peat for 2025. And this time the big one for Tony...not these piddly 1 inch snows with a little ip, but a three inch ip with a little snow. Make is so, Mr. Abacus...if you please

Always broke the stalagmite everyday to stop it damming. And I agree about the pencil width, and it's the hot water that freezes first, but the cost of heating water is way out weighed by the physical cost of lying on your back in sub freezing temps working on pipes. In my case the out door faucet was near the kitchen and on the same line as the sink, so I needed to keep water running in the line. So much depends on how insulated you are, how hot the house is, wrapped pipes, heat tape, etc.
