toxictwister00 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 been under the rain train all morning here. The radar shows it constantly redeveloping over the upstate of SC and coming right over this area. Strange to see Atlanta to Athens keep avoiding it though. There even looks like thunderstorms in eastern Alabama. That line looks like it's headed our way very soon, it even looks like it's pulsed up some within the past hour.

POWERSTROKE Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Real breezy outside here, not raining at all. Working in shop wiring a snow plow and salt spreader on a truck we just bought. It will be ready for next winter!!! We may use it to push water out of the streets from the rain!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 We may use it to push water out of the streets from the rain!! LOL. Don't forget frosty says we will be mowing lawns in January. I think the ground will be too muddy to mow. I've got a swamp going on. Still moderate to occasionally heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL about pushing the water out of the streets, last year I missed out on the Christmas snow cause it stayed 33 degrees and had rain while 15 miles away it snowed so again this year I will be throwing mud balls with qwik-crete mixed in with 60 degree temps all while dressed in shorts and sandals playing Elvis's Blue Christmas....

nchighcountrywx Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The ski slopes are one big 52 degrees muddy mess. This is like a bad nightmare. Worst December weather in years!

audioguy3107 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Painful to talk about severe weather 2 days before Christmas. We should be snow watching. Yeah, I was just reading the same thing....it's amazing, I know it has, but it feels like it hasn't even been below freezing this season so far. I'm still in short sleeves. Oh well, perhaps the latter part of winter will bring us some good news, but hey, maybe a little excitement tomorrow in the interim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I've been experiencing some impressive rainfall; twice now that it has dumped bucketfuls here. The ditch is, once again, looking like a mini-river with all the run-off. Only up to 59 now and 1.09" so far with more on the way it seems looking down toward Atlanta. Shaping up to be quite a wet day as we press through the afternoon. This seems to remind me of Dec. 2009 where we had plenty of rain events to track, though the one for Christmas was quite a rain producer giving me around 2.50" that day.

LithiaWx Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 KATL is going to be close to a record high tomorrow. They could easily break it imo. Today KATL is about +20 above normal for the date. December is turning out to be a torch for some areas of the southeast. The clouds and rainy days are not going to save many of us from very high monthly temperature anomalies. There is something wrong with record highs and thunderstorms during Christmas week.

BullCityWx Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 KCLT could be at 49 for the average temperature on the month by Friday. That's one degree short of being on the top 5 warmest list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a swamp going on. Still moderate to occasionally heavy rain. he is probably right based on the warm up first part of January. We mowed grass yesterday and have others we could mow now.

FallsLake Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Man some nice rain coming down right now (north of Raleigh). Current radar looks like bands of rain all the way back to Atlanta.

I have never mowed my grass before the end of March and this year will be no exception. well believe it buddy. I am in the landscaping business and we mowed yards yesterday that were 6 inches tall. Now we are mowing them bi-weekly this time of year not every week. If you fertilize fescue it will grow even in the winter if temps are in the 60's. My personal yard is mint green and could be cut now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 There is something wrong with record highs and thunderstorms during Christmas week. Honestly I remember the bulk of my Christmases as being wet, warm or foggy. The other standout Christmases would be the cold ones (think twice in the mid 80s) and of course last year's snow. Just 2 years ago was the heaviest rain I've ever recorded in about 6 hours (outside of convection) Had just over 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember which year but I think early 80's It was sunny and high during Christmas day was 1 degree. But this is a different year, Can't wait to get my Christmas decorations out of the yard so I can MOW!!! Yep it needs mowing. First half of next month probably want be able to keep up the mowing. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always a bummer to see it though right before Christmas being warm. The temperatures make it more difficult to get into the Christmas spirit also wearing shorts and polo shirts doesn't help.

My grass isn't really growing, I cut it a few weeks ago very short to the ground. I do see wild onions pretty tall now. And the mulch beds are a mess with weeds thanks to all the rain and warmth. Still, we'll get a cold period sometime in Jan and Feb...we always do. The ECMWF doesn't look nearly as warm as GFS does right now (but GFS might be right on the major warmth).
