  2. Exactly. Knowledgeable ones knew yesterday it would bust in many areas This type of bust is really a huge blessing. Our lineman brothers in Virginia especially Southern Virginia cooperatives are still slammed from last Friday night with over half of the customers in Southside Virginia cooperative still out
  3. Anyone wishing for ice should think twice Southside Electric Cooperative in southern Virginia this morning still has 77% of their customers out this morning 48 hours after the event. Their area was torn up by ice Our lineman need a break. They work harder than any NFL Lineman ever does. Jacking and restringing wire and establishing equipotential grounding zones around the lineman to protect them from generator back feeds is tedious hard work. https://poweroutage.us/area/state/virginia

  10. You are spot on On Friday the MJO gave signs the implied pattern was going to unravel Yes it is very disappointing however it has been a great run of winter since 11/29 in western NC with 41 days of general snow cover above 4500’ and already 60” this season in places. Far better than last year

  15. Not feeling this one We were blessed to have the terrific snow in the high elevations the week after Thanksgiving.
  16. Fellows: We need urgent prayer for Big Frosty (Rodney). He and his wife both contracted COVID about a month ago and he cleared it after a brief hospitalization and was back at work. Unfortunately, the side effects came back last night with blood clots in the lung and pneumonia. He is hospitalized today but not in ICU. Rodney asked that he will appreciate prayer from everyone for a quick recovery. There is no one else that has a higher level of interest in winter weather and knows his local climatology the way Big Frosty does. To all, thank you for taking the time to be prayer warriors. It is gratefully appreciated. Thank you.
  17. Joe Bastardi put out an extremely warm initial call map for the East today +3 everywhere in East and 75% of normal snowfall.
  18. It’s all about humidity control. Even though upper 50s to mid 60s can be prevalent the dew points can remain high. A separate dehumidifier in the system can help
  19. NAM is bullish https://imgur.com/gallery/b9ubOd8
