buckeyefan1 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Pretty amazing contrast between Tennessee and Georgia over the last year! I can't remember the last time my area of SC had normal precip amounts.....sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 An extremely violent storm just came over mby. I watched the storm on radar develop a hail signature as it was moving in and sure enough we got nailed! Strong sustained wind for a couple minutes with lots of small hail mixed in with the epic rains and lightning. I can't wait to look at my gauge as soon as it calms down. It was a thumping. The storm literally peaked right over mby, incredible.

LithiaWx Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Maybe that gauge will be devirginized finally T lol, I think so man! I had over an inch when I came back in town from being gone for 8 days but that was a multiday total and barely over an inch. I have doubts that a full inch occurred in one night. I picked up a QUICK .80" when I looked at it during the lull. Now it's pouring again! This is what the street looks like in front of my house right now.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 FFC confuses the heck out of me sometimes... This is from their afternoon discussion: SUNDAY SHOULD SEE CLEARING AND A RETURN TO MORE APPROPRIATE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES Yet my forecast from Sunday through Friday is mid to upper 70s, with 50s at night. 5-10 degrees above normal. I guess with all the 80's we've had lately, FFC seems to think mid to upper 70s is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Had a nice thunderstorm come through earlier, dumping a good bit of rain. Still got some leftover showers occurring. Up to .13" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Just had a nice storm come through. Saw a quick 1.0 to 1.5 inches of rain. Some strong winds here too and lots of lightining. Here is the storm. Now its gets issued when the storm is over. No surprise though because the winds did seem that strong too.

LithiaWx Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I had a bit of damage from the storms last night. The tops of two trees in my backyard were brought down in the winds. Also another tree in the front of the neighborhood was felled. A couple miles down the road two more trees knocked down. I knew it was a violent storm but it's a bit more damage than I thought. I'm also surprised FFC never issued any warning on that cell with the wind damage, hail, very heavy rains and lightning. I picked up 1.60" from that bad boy last night. It was quite a thumping mby received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 CAE picked up another .03 today I've got a solid .1 for the last few days! After a rollicking first of the month, the pickings have been exceedingly, near invisibly, thin the last few weeks. Oh, well, you haven't gotten to rollick yet, so I have to count my blessings Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Rained a lot over night and hearing thunder over the mountain. Has been a very wet week here with a couple of inches falling. This is the most saturated i have seen the ground in quit some time. Everything is so green. Really have an uneasy feeling about a big freeze coming in April.
