  1. It was 86+ today depending on where you were, hot a humid, brutal. 5:30 front rolls through, big storm, heavy rain and the temperatures drop like stones. Currently 9pm and it’s 60, breezy and already drying out. Nice.
  2. Strong storms here, confirmed tornado in Lexington SC near 378 and Rt.1 very windy near me in Chapin.
  3. Confirmed tornado on the ground in Lexington SC, possibly 2.
  4. 10:00 AM, 67 degrees and fog, oh so much fog, fog, fog, fog, thick spooky fog.
  5. Disappointing 0.14 in the rain bucket this morning. Showers still around so hope is still out there.
  6. 0.43 down in the midlands of SC. Had the windows open and it was joyful to hear the rain and thunder outside instead of the A/C hum.
  7. 0.36 so far, hoping for more and that everyone scores something over night.
  8. 63 degrees with a dew point of 57. Yeah it’s humid but I will take it. We actually picked up around an inch and quarter rain so I have no complaints
  9. Well a surprise this morning. 69 degrees, 1.15” in the rain gauge this morning. Light drizzle falling. The gods have not forsaken the midlands of SC after all.
  10. Observation: It's HOT here in the midlands of SC
  11. We have a blip of potential rain for Friday. Yeah, not betting on it but man do we need that rain. I am now looking up how to do Pagan Ritual Sacrifices in order to apeas the various rain gods just in case it might help. All Hail Freyr!
  12. Living near Columbia I have already switch to snow denial mode in a feeble attempt to reduce the severity of the inevitable let down. Heck one year it snowed west of me then east along the coast. Felt like I was living in a weather related practical joke. The emotional toll (and resulting liquor expenditures) for every missed snow chance was more than a little frustrating.
  13. Too muddy to fish. Did get some casting lessons in and grabbed lunch at a nice restaurant so it was a an ok day. We will try again soon.
  14. Well I am going to get fly fishing lessons Sunday at Davidson River Outfitters. Yeah it’s gonna be rough for fishing but what the hell. I have two teenaged boys who are going to learn the basics with me. Hey a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.
  15. Well we had a very brief shower here in Chapin SC. I been seeing dust devils lately with it being so darn dry so even a little is appreciated. Of course I am going to Brevard this Sunday to fish on the Davidson River, I hope it's not a wash out. I will fish in the rain so long as its not a thunderstorm.
  16. As much as I am rooting for this to be true. this sounds a lot like our winter discussion of pattern changing snow in the long range kind of thing. I have given up on my lawn (weed patch) and just trying to keep the gardens from getting baked alive.
  17. Ok “Charlie Brown Football” is going into my lexicon of dadisms I now need to say.
  18. After a series of winter storms giving us rounds of -> high hopes ->crushing disappointment -> repeat. I am not buying into anything more than 100 hours out and hell this time of year 72 hours is still suspect.
  19. It would be hilarious if this verified. I will try and schedule a test for all of my classes around that time to get the karma aligned to help make it happen. Hey I am willing to do what I can. We lost days due to the fall hurricane around here, now a late season snow storm to cost us a few days and destroy any hope of decent AP-physics scores this year. Yeah that would be classic.
  20. It was 80 degrees according to the thermometer in my car, officially 79 in Cola. I really need to mow my lawn.
  21. House full of people last night, needed to put the A/C on to make bearable. 74 yesterday and humid as hell, weeds green and growing. I likely have to cut the lawn next weekend.
  22. Personally, I like cold, snow or no snow, I like cold rain, cold sunny days, etc. Living in the SE our cold really isn't all that cold and is quite tolerable as compared to real cold, below zero temps, etc. My issue is an early spring in the 80's flipping back to cold frosts, the back and forth is frustrating. 95% of the SC peaches were wiped out last year, I hope those farmers are doing better this year.
  23. Cut the lawn this past weekend, trees are starting to blossom, daffodils are blooming, put the A/C on today because we hit 82 and I swear I was bitten by the years first mosquito. Spring is here with a vengeance. Now I wait and watch for the murderous late winter or early spring frost/snowstorm to kill off everything but the mosquitos. Sigh.
  24. Venting Frustration! Apple trees starting to bud out, expecting the typical SC midlands killing frost to pop up in two weeks or so, sigh . I really wish spring would either hold on from here on out or that it turns cold soon and gets the last cold shot out of the way. This mid-february and near 70 degrees plays hell with my fruit trees.
