  1. Wow! That's a two-inch difference in only a few short miles. I don't guess we have any chance of seeing the sun until Friday, at the earliest. Cool, rainy, cloudy weather for several days. I can't complain too much for mid-May.
  2. Surprisingly, I've only gotten 0.68 inch out of this flow so far. However, as the orientation turns more SE to NW, I do expect a significant increase. I'm not complaining, though. I prefer my rainfall in sustained gentle showers rather than intense tropical downpours. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
  3. Here are a few more pictures from my Mt. Rogers hike on May 9:
  4. Hiked to top of Mt. Rogers, VA, today. Left the parking lot at Elk Garden at 10 AM and 31 F on the car thermometer. The wind was ripping. Once we got in the trees on the AT, it wasn't too bad, though. Beautiful clear blue sky and skiff of snow everywhere. Maybe an inch at the top. The rime ice was impressive too. We did 9.9 miles in total, according to Gaia GPS. Now that was a perfect May 9! Here are a few pics:
  5. 37 F was the low IMBY. Awesome for early May!
  6. 2.6+ inches of rain last night. A gully washer. I'm now over 8 inches of rainfall above pace on my 8-year average. Wet it is.
  7. Not quite as much rain here in Hickory (25.22 inches), but I'm still almost 6.5 inches ahead of pace on my 8-year average. The yard looks awesome, though! =)
  8. Yep, this place is dead, understandably so. Not only is the weather rather mundane, but we have an international crisis occupying most people's attention. Oh, to have a snowstorm to distract us...
  9. Still light snow. Seems like back end is approaching quickly. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
  10. 32.7/32 here at home. Steady light snow. Grass and elevated surfaces are white. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
  11. Alright, the snow has begun! A little later than predicted. Very wet, still. Let's see where we go...
  12. Yeah, the orientation of the major moisture flow on radar is almost due west to east. And...it has set up to our south.
  13. Dewpoints in the 20s for western half of NC. Surface temps are not below freezing, though, except on the highest peaks.
  14. 37.7/34 in Hickory, NC Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
  15. Yep, this is just crazy. Fortunately, the new interior drainage system I had installed since the flooding of last July 2019 has worked very well. It's gotten a really good test these first few weeks of the new year. My record rainfall was 76 inches during the 2018 calendar year. This year may give my record a run for its money, as I am on pace for 126 inches of rainfall. (126 is not gonna happen, but still.)
  16. Over an inch and a half of rain yesterday. I'm now up to 15.55 inches on the year, at the halfway mark in February. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
  17. Closer view of mountain counties. Just amazing the differences in only 50 miles from Asheville to Lake Toxaway: Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
  18. Don't be such a downer, man. It's just beautiful to watch fall. Any day there are flakes in the air is a win. I have one inch for the season, but I am enjoying the beautiful snowfall outside (even though I want even get a dusting before it's over). Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
  19. 6.29 was my storm total. Crazy wet winter so far. Down to 42.7 here now. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
  20. 5.36 inches since midnight here IMBY in Hickory. Just. Crazy. Still pouring outside.
  21. 4.40 inches since midnight here IMBY in Hickory. Rain cranking up again after a brief lull. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
