strongwxnc Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I would like to thank all who continue to have hope for an event. Thanks for all the analysis given... Hope is still present with me, but the mower blades will be coming off this weekend to prepare for the next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It doesn't look too promising with the President's Day storm. I think folks are grasping at straws. But it would be great if the models cam back around today. Maybe that is what we need to get a good snow, for the models not to show anything until a few days beforehand. It happened with the Christmas 2010 snow. It would be nice to get a surprise, because I think this will be our last shot for any wintry weather around here this winter. It's really weird seeing Widre being so optimistic, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduwx Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Another day of 50 and rain. I hate living in Seattle. Me and co-worker were talking about that this morning. I'm thankful for the rain but it seems we have had a lot of just dreary, cloudy days this winter. I have to admit, I'm ready for some sunshine and outdoor time.

Isopycnic Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Well....based on yesterdays write up, Robert has his punter warming up. Might be time for Chris's Garden thread Well, if his golf game is like his forecasts... it'll be cold in the LR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Wonder what the severe weather season will bring. Of course, it seems like severe weather is possible anytime of the year around here lately. At least the models usually get that right, though.

Cold Rain Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Sure, as long as the banter I was replying to posted by a mod is taken there, along with your banter reply to my banter reply to the original banter post, as well as your banter post about tropical phantoms start showing up 10 days out.

Of course, it seems like severe weather is possible anytime of the year around here lately. At least the models usually get that right, though. For Wake Forest? Failure most likely. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing your constant complaints of failure for the next 4 months. Then your failed tropical season will begin only to be followed by your warm/dry/cold/wet winter complaints for the winter of 2013/14 season.

But really, if it's just warm and sunny, I don't care. I just can't stand cool and rainy in winter. I want snow or warm and sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevo Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The drought thing is overdone every year. It's the same old thing, as if it will never rain again. Hmmmm.... False. You know CR, part of me agrees with him on this. If I'm not mistaken, I was first introduced to the term "micro-climate" during a debate about whether or not the drought was real in the western Spartanburg County area. I staunchly proclaim that it is NOT - and has NOT been for three years. And eventhough I don't like the term "micro-climate", it makes more sense in this case because I have constantly been under the phantom drought monster. The drought issues are truley dependant on where you live. This past year - from January to December - has been the wettest of my life's memory. Yet that did not stop the drought maps from throwing this area into severe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet that did not stop the drought maps from throwing this area into severe mode. Oh yeah, I agree with you -- location matters. A great example of this is my house vs one of my friends' house. My grass was brown and his was green (no watering) last year. T-storms and even orographic influences can yield a good deal of variability throughout a general climate zone. Kinda like how you've had a fairly normal winter vs the lava dome torch in Waycross, GA. Brick is just being IMBY Weenie man again. There, in fact, has been a general dryness over a large portion of the SE, which seems to have waxed and waned over the last several years. It seems like (generally speaking, of course), that we're in a drier climate now in the SE relative to normal. Maybe that's really the case, or maybe it's because the Drought Monitor maps are trotted out almost weekly in a lot of media outlets now, and because of it, it's visible to more people. But in the end, from a personal perspective, location makes all the difference, as you have observed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevo Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It will be an ULL by Saturday...crazy old NAM. That last NAM ULL was a dooooooozie. It's not often in life that you start an evening chasing snow from a quick ULL but end the evening under rain and in the woods looking for large bipedal ape men. That will always be the great NAM ULL of January 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I absolutely think things will be more favorable as we move into March. We'll finally get cold funneling down and a ton of precip moving in. It will add up to several inches of glorious rain with temps in the 30s that would have been 18" of snow if it had happened anytime in the 3 months prior.
