Erwin update. Our church is the main distribution hub sending supplies into NC. We are rolling non-stop. It's going out as fast as it comes in.- 658 replies

This is a mass casualty event here in Erwin. 39 people missing. Not a single found. No telling how many others unaccounted for. We have people calling/asking if we have seen people. Reports of bodies being found in trees... The police department estimate water rose over 30ft. There are caskets laying around the river.- 658 replies

Jackson Love was still up as night fell. Of course that doesn't tell the whole story but theoretically there is a route down I-26 and detour down Jackson Love through town and back to I-26. thankfully the I-26 bridge is not on the south side of exit 40. I have some jaw dropping footage over that bridge from lunchtime.- 658 replies

We are all good here. Well away from any water thankfully. I-26 has just confirmed to be collapsed at exit 40... and I think it'll be much more washed out than it is now. kind of shocked... can't believe this is happening here. We are a small community. This type of event is something that alters the course of our entire economy and way of life..- 658 replies

One of my favorite things about tropical systems is the nice cool/dry air that often chases behind them.- 658 replies

My best winters here so far have been weak/mid Nina's. So honestly I'm not super negative on this winter. The last two have been mostly nothing burgers for the mountains. I haven't taken a peak at winter yet. I feel like the last few winters we haven't gotten the pacific to work with us at all. The last two winters have been mostly -PNA with shots of +pna. And a dominate -PDO for years now.- 658 replies

It's amazing how fast we can go from wet to dry. We had such a wet start to summer here but after a few weeks of no rain and this heat my grass is crispy. My family in East NC are saying crops are not doing well and the corn crop is close to collapse. Don't really see much relief in the next week or two besides isolated storms. Maybe one of these fronts on the GFS will bring some widespread rain.- 658 replies

February 2024 mid/ long range
fountainguy97 replied to Holston_River_Rambler's topic in Tennessee Valley
Yeah I've been tuned out since shortly after the January snow week. Some winters it just wants to snow and every system just works out. Others are like this and we have 3+ systems scoot south and whiff everyone. Tough draw of the cards this winter. Early season bushes/trees have buds here. It was very warm but has been colder recently especially the mornings. Just need a few good days in the low 60s and spring has sprung!- 750 replies

Winter 23-24' Wx Observations Thread
fountainguy97 replied to Carvers Gap's topic in Tennessee Valley
A cool 27 this morning but the song birds are out in full force today around here. Sounds like spring. These days in the 50s are perfection this time of year. I'm not complaining.
