calculus1 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Drove up to Blowing Rock, NC, this morning to do some early Christmas shopping with the fam. We planned a picnic lunch and short hike for the kids. It was around 60 here in Hickory when we left. We arrived in Blowing Rock around 10:45 with heavy clouds and a light mist and a pleasant temperature of 42! That's great for winter weather, but not exactly picnic weather. Thus, we did our shopping and headed back down the mountain. We tried to have a picnic at a local park in Hudson, but the wind was so strong that the kids couldn't stand it. My two-year-old could barely walk in the face of the wind. Epic fail on the picnic end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I had a 61 mph gust at 1:37 this afternoon. 36.7 Wind - 24NW Cloudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Flood gates aloft opened up just before sunrise and ended up with 2.8" in about a 2hr period between 5 & 7am. PGV officially checked in with 2.82", and that matches up fairly closely with what I had in the gauge, right around 2.8. A couple claps of thunder around six, two I think, but an absolute gully washer for shore. Stiff wind today, gusting close to or just above 30. Convective type line formed overhead and currently looking at it to the east, love seeing the clearing and the afternoon squalls roll through this time of year!

jrips27 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Sure has quieted down in the SE subforum. Either everyone is sulking over the latest Euro and GFS runs, or they are preparing for Thanksgiving madness. lol. Currently 48oF here. Nice and breezy today with some 25+ mph gusts. Looking forward to some beautiful weather tomorrow with highs in the mid 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to some beautiful weather tomorrow with highs in the mid 60's. Likely both haha. It's the model drama that many of us alluded to a while back and this is its first time making itself known. I know that I will be quite busy over the next couple of days with Thanksgiving and then heading to work that Black Friday before heading over to a friend of mine's house for more Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. It's been quite a cool day. 64 for the high but felt more like the mid 50s with the winds gusting all day (31 mph max out of the NW). Haven't had to kick the heat on for the past few days but tonight forces that once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajaronw10 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Just thought I'd share a video that was posted on our station's Facebook page... This is from Highway 280 in Lee County, AL. QUITE IMPRESSIVE!!! https://www.facebook...150547925843677 Very cool video! My only question is did the trailer that you can see in the background survive? I see a few trees didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Very cool video! My only question is did the trailer that you can see in the background survive? I see a few trees didn't I'm not sure about that one.... We got in contact with him last week and he hasn't emailed us back. I can tell you that there were only 2 minor injuries during the whole thing, so the trailer may not have survived but, if people were inside, the residents survived.

Well holidays have never slowed us weather weenies down if there was something coming lol But you know if something turns ugly on the models, at least we don't go into a frenzy about it and raise hell like some other forums.

BullCityWx Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 According to the 0z euro, we stay at or above normal the entire run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullCityWx Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Although, I guess it's hard to get below normal with the NAO and AO so positive. I'll be surprised if we don't escape the first two weeks of December without having some +4 or +5 anamolies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Today's NAO is heading for the cellar. I think what we need is a big storm to break the pattern over eastern NA and maybe scoot up into eastern Canada and pop a 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens when you get older Robert. But, I promise, when that 1st Winter Storm Warning is issued, you and I will be as ready as anybody to post snow totals.

But, for now, I've reached the pointed where I'm not frustrated when it is warm. It used to drive me crazy. the older part. I'm feeling it now. Don't get me wrong I love chasing a good snow event or any event wintry-related on the models , but when it happens, I'm all ready for it to go away immediately. I used to love having snow or sleet piles lay on the ground for days or weeks but since 2003 or so, I realize it's just a hassle and adds expense to the ol' utility bills (and car insurance when you take out 3 mailboxes on melting/refreezing sleet). Last 2 years were aggravating, but fun as a weather enjoyer to follow. I enjoy just forecasting and following it for other areas now, just as much as anything. I find myself up way too many hours , like last years couple of big ones, but when the storm hits and you watch the first few hours, the rush wears off and you go to bed, missing out on it anyway...and wake up to dreary gray and cold and sometimes a house with no power. But I'm sure I'll always enjoy it occurring for those that love it. There's beauty in all kinds of weather though, and you won't find me crying when I'm just a couple miles from the rain/snow line.

FoothillsNC Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Well, as long as you don't get tired of forecasting it (he selfishly says...) No doubt I won't stop that.(forecasting). I really wanted to put that out there not last winter, but the one before. Or right after the March 2009 storm. I only thought I liked snow or ice. What I really like is active weather, mixed with good changeups. This has been an incredible year, the best I can ever recall for a weather lover of any type, around here. Now if I start complaining of rain, somebody call a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
