Marion_NC_WX Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Foggy and 71... The old wise-tale is that the number of foggy mornings in August equals the number of snow's this winter. We're off to a good start in that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're off to a good start in that aspect. I think the correct colloquialism is an old wive's tale. However, since most wives are usually quite wise, it probably doesn't really matter...

We're off to a good start in that aspect. Has it been a whole year already. Yep exactly. Sigh. Looks like its time for a repost of my winter southern folklore. Top Six Southern Winter Folklore Sayings 1. If you count the morning fogs in August you will know how many August mornings were foggy. 2. A heavy crop of acorns will lead to fatter then average squirrels the next spring. 3. If it thunders in winter, 10 days later it will have happened 10 days ago. 4. If you study the bands of the wooly worm you will know how many are brown and how many are black. 5. Snow that lays on the ground for more than three days is dirty. 6. A ring around the moon means your Lasik surgeon screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Heavy flooding rains here at Simpsondale, NC. Can't wait for the winter when we get a Carolina Crusher redux or a March 1960 cutoff low. Apparently there are reports of a possible tornado that hit Archville, SC. Multiple roofs blown off houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 . SPC bumps eastern NC to slight risk...kiss of death for storms most likely lol PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION INTO THE ERN CAROLINAS...CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS ALREADY UNDERWAY ACROSS THIS REGION --PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE ERN CAROLINAS WHERE A VERYMOIST/DESTABILIZING AIRMASS IS INDICATED. SUBTLE SHORT-WAVETROUGHING IS MOVING EWD ACROSS THE ERN CAROLINAS ATTM...WHICHCOMBINED WITH THE DESTABILIZING AIRMASS AND MODERATE MID-LEVEL FLOWSUPPORTS AN UPGRADE TO SLIGHT RISK FOR EARLY AFTERNOON SEVEREPOTENTIAL. REF SWOMCD 1610 FOR ADDITIONAL SHORT-TERM DETAILS. A few storms out there now but nothing really organized but along the NC/VA border things are really breaking down and a line could form and cross the area in the next several hours some pretty unstable parameters in place so we shall see but I 95 to the east could get hammered over the next 3-6 hrs.

kvegas-wx Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Tru dat. Thank goodness I was able to finally spray for bugs and weeds. I have a south facing deck with woods behind it and the change in sun angle is really noticable this week. Deck is mostly shaded once again. Fall is coming quickly now!

calculus1 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 0.00" of nothingness! I think you have this backward, lol. (I'm using lol as a proper noun here, not as an expression of my emotional response. Or, do I need to capitalize the acronym if I use it in this manner?) If you got 0 inches of nothingness, then you must have registered something in the gauge in order to not get nothing. (Fun with double negatives!) So, the more correct statement would have been that you registered 10,000 inches of nothingness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
