weatherheels Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Just another overcast day in the mid 40s as of right now. Doubt we break the 50 degree mark. This is the kind of weather I'd expect to have seen throughout January. At least it appears to be short lived, should get into the 60s a few days this week.

Jon Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Seneca guns or sonic booms were heard by many on the coast today, anyone from NC coast hear/feel anything? http://www.wect.com/story/17035306/hundreds-report-shaking-and-booms I'm on Oak Island, NC and we have now experienced 4 of these in a 2 hour period. Very large boom that shakes our house and windows with pictures falling off the walls. My dogs are even going crazy with each one! I called 911 and they have no answers except that it might be a plate under the earth shifting, but she did say they were covered up with calls from all the surrounding areas. Different than Seneca guns, and apparently more widespread. I'm in holden beach... and multiple... I believe I've had 4 here and stronger. With Seneca Guns, I was a mile from home and my daughter felt it at home and I didn't. If these are felt all the way to Wrightsville Beach to HOlden, it's definitely something else. I live in Castle Hayne and it was really strong. It was stronger than any Seneca guns I ever felt. It was a very scary moment and it came in two waves. My two dog went crazy and they do not want to be in the house. You can learn a lot by watching animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 What are Seneca guns? Unexplained phenomena first written about in the 1800's from accounts around Seneca Lake in New York. Now they're heard in many coastal areas and often heard off the NC/SC coasts. Most people think they're sonic booms from aircraft breaking the sound barrier but often the FAA has confirmed of no aircraft around the coast when the booms happen. Also, it's often told that if you're out fishing off the coast you will not hear them but people on land will hear them and feel earthquake-like movements of their home, glass doors and windows, etc. Pretty strange if you ask me!

Gastonwxman Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 68 looks to be the high today, and for once no gusty winds around here when it finally does warm up. Carolina blue skies all around. Great day to do practically anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 First time in quite a while that I had a reading of 53 around this time of morning, and it actually feels kind of nice outside for a change. Seems like it's only a precursor to how warm it's going to get for tomorrow. GSP's thinking 79 for a high now on Thursday, which would be more May-like warmth around here if that panned out.

NavarreDon Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Never got below 55° in Weaverville last night. Some startling signs of spring already, around the Mnts. Trees are in full bloom at my sons school. I will have to mow my grass this week. Frogs & bugs starting to become active. I know it's the last day of Feb. but this is at least 3 weeks early. Just a horrible winter for snow & cold. I would guess it is going to be a rough year for pests in the SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Already getting some nice wind gusts (25-30mph). Going to be quite interesting if any strong/severe thunderstorms make it here for later today with winds like this already out ahead of the main line.

Met1985 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Had a nice storm here in Haywood county. Had lots of cloud to ground lightning and high winds. Several trees are down and lots of power lines are down right now. I would say half the county is without power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Well no storm but still getting into some showers now. Temperatures only backed off a little. Down to 62 after reaching 65 thanks to that brief period of breakage in the clouds earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Didn't see this post. You can answer me here, if you like, lol. Many thanks, T Tony, MAM averaged ~+0.4. JJA averaged ~+0.5. No summer was as warm as 80 F. Compare to last summer's 82.1 F. Four of the summers were within 0.5 F of normal. Keep hope alive for a not so hot summer!

Carvers Gap Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Tornado warning boxes popping up along the SW Virginia border - Gate City/Hiltons to Bristol. No reports on the ground but WJHL is on it - broadcasting live. Good reporting. Still a very strong line of storms draping east to west still to pass for Kingsport. Going to be a late night.

Oh, well, except for the 1940's they didn't put a back to back together...so maybe we get some cold next winter...another one like this might have terrible repercussions Plus my ice age theory is now on temporary hold, lol.
