Upstate Tiger

Boy does the Piedmont look dry over the next 2 weeks. We need some rain!

Interesting read on the ENSO transition underway and downstream impacts. https://www.severe-weather.eu/long-range-2/spring-2026-forecast-update-polar-vortex-core-el-nino-rising-united-states-canada-europe-fa/

11" IMBY is good even by 1970's standards so I will have to go with A+.

Impressive!

You’ll have to give us a seasonal update tomorrow.

The 06Z GFS shows some post St. Pattrick's Day snow for the SC coast . That would cause some confusion for those who celebrated a little late the night before. They would wake up thinking they slept through spring, summer, and fall.

Why? She smells like a blooming Bradford Pear tree, is covered in an obnoxious yellow powder, draws flies, and can’t make her mind up from one day to the next.

Looks like we could see some lows in the mid to upper 20's here in the NC piedmont next week. That will at least temporarily unalive some of these early insect hatchers.

Received my first misquito bite of the season on the golf course Sunday. Got me on the calf before I could swat it away. Guess from now until November I will need to be all sprayed up...

Weekend looking great! It's a good thing too, as Monday looks miserable...

Just like clock work...

Looks like cart path only again this weekend but will take the rain.

966 is amazing. Check this out. Tells you all you need to know.

Someone on the NYC forum posted this is there second 50" plus winter this decade and there were only 2 50" plus winters in the 70's. Kind of surprising for those of us who lived through those cold 70's winters. Of course I could argue that this winter IMBY with 11" from 2 events would be up there with the really good winters of the 70's and 80's in the upstate in terms of seasonal snowfall. A quick check of GSP snowfall records confirms this... The only difference would be below average temp. winters were more common and the winter storms impacted larger areas of the SE when they did occur. I still think there is opportunity for another SE winter storm before mid March.

NYC is going to be over 50" with a real shot at over 60" by the end of the month looking at the GFS. Not sure what the Euro shows as I no longer waste my time looking at it ...
