frazdaddy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah, I was outside yesterday evening and remarked to my wife that I remember last year during March, the trees were much greener than this year. It started in February last year which I though was highly unusual. Now, things are finally starting to bud at the end of March....much more normal. In Myrtle Beach the week before last, the yellow pollen started. We got down there on Thursday. On Friday, nothing. On Saturday, the car had a light coating of yellow. So it's coming. I hate that stuff. I remember a few years ago, we had a very dry and windy start to Spring. Once the yellow pollen started, it stayed in the air for weeks. You could look out the window, and the air had a yellow haze to it. It was the worst I've ever seen. Hopefully, with a wetter start this year, it'll act to keep the pollen out of the air to a decent extent anyway. Fun times. I ran across a picture of the small garden pond we built last year in early March. By this time last year we had 6 inches of new growth on the Hydrangeas and the water plants were sprouting new growth as well. Much more normal this year.

superjames1992 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Temps aren't there yet, but we've got time. I'll take that track anytime. Just give me a stronger high pressure to the north and we'll lock it up. NOT worried about the calendar reading April at all. 3-6" is my first call for the Piedmont. The only real question is "How Much?"; the storm itself is guaranteed. After all, I saw it on the GFS. The storm is still there at 12z, just suppressed. We have this on on lock. Time to bring it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K4CF Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Gotta a strange question if someone can help....Its 27o with light snow here...Im standing on my porch looking Southeast (toward Marion, Morganton, Statesville, etc) and I see 3 or 4 blue flashes within the distant clouds about a minute apart that looks like lightning to me, but I see no lightning on the radar anywhere...Is lightning what Im really seeing? Ive ruled out fireworks....Please...Im serious...There are no drugs or alcohol in me or on the premises...Could it be some sort of static discharge associated with the NW flow here?

Friction from the ice crystals...aka lightening. Best guess considering it is snowing where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check for power outages in the area. Blue flashes often mean transformers shorting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think there is occasionally some thundersnow associated with major upslope snow events (not sure about this far south, though?), so it is possible. Transformers would be my first guess, though, as Jburns said. EDIT: Oh, well if they are within the clouds, then that probably rules out transformers. Probably lightning then, I suppose, though I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I would typically agree with the transformer idea, except it was described as 3 or 4 about a minute apart (and in the clouds). Odd for transformers to go out so systematically. Not impossible by any means...just odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
